1 – Starting out with your DP-02/DP-02CF

Shutting down the unit

Pressing the POWER switch on the top panel shuts down the unit automatically.

First, stop playback or recording, and press the POWER switch for about seconds. While the unit is shutting down (storing the song data to hard disk or CF card) you will see the display shown here.

NOTE

Once shut down starts, all key presses are ignored.

CAUTION

If you turn off the power accidently while the unit is in operation, the unit cannot shut down properly so all unsaved data will be lost. We recommend that you save the data manually often.

T I P

There is a hook on the bottom of the unit to prevent the adapter cable being pulled accidently.

The ACCESS light

This indicator shows that the hard disk, CF card, or the CD-RW drive is in use. Although the unit is not exactly a delicate piece of equipment, you should take care with it, as with all electronic equipment, especially when the hard disk or CF card is in operation or when CD-RW drive is writing to CDs.

WARNING

Do not move the DP-02/DP-02CF or turn it off or disconnect the power or open the CF card door (DP-02CF only) when the ACCESS indicator is lit, to avoid damage to the recording media and possible loss of data.
