IMPORTANT NOTES

Handling the Disk Drive

For details on hard disk handling, refer also to the instructions that accompanied your hard disk.

●Before performing any of the following actions, be sure to perform the shutdown procedure. Failure to do so may result in loss of song data or damage to the hard disk.

•Turning off the power of the VS-880EX

•Turning off the power of the Zip drive connected with SCSI connector

•Removing a disk from a Zip drive connected with SCSI connector

Shutdown (Appendices p. 124)

When the VS-880EX MIDI/DISK indicator or Zip drive status indicator is lit, it means that data is being written to or from the hard disk. If you are using a Zip drive, confirm that this indicator is not lit before removing disks.

●While using the VS-880EX, be careful not to subject the unit to vibration or shock, and avoid moving the unit while the power is turned on.

●Install the unit on a solid, level surface in an area free from vibration. If the unit must be installed at an angle, be sure the installation does not exceed the permissible range.

●Avoid using the unit immediately after it has been moved to a location with a level of humidity that is greatly different than its former location. Rapid changes in the environment can cause condensation to form inside the drive, which will adversely affect the operation of the drive and/or damage remov- able disks. When the unit has been moved, allow it to become accustomed to the new environment (allow a few hours) before operating it.
