About the hard disk drive

The hard disk has a high storage density, which enables long recording durations and quick access to the written data.

•Do not apply a strong shock to the unit.

•Do not place the unit in a location subject to mechanical vibrations or in an unstable location.

•Do not place the unit on top of a hot surface, such as a VCR or amplifier (receiver).

•Do not use the unit in a place subject to extreme changes in temperature (temperature gradient less than 75 F° (10 °C)/hour).

•Do not move the unit with its AC power cord connected.•Do not disconnect the AC power cord while the power is on.

•When disconnecting the AC power cord, turn off the power and make sure that the hard disk drive is not operating (the clock is displayed in the front panel display and all recording, copying, or importing has stopped).

•Do not move the unit for one minute after you have unplugged the AC power cord.
