❑Do not transfer data in areas where static electricity is easily generated or in areas subjected to electronic noise. Data can be destroyed.

❑If you are transferring data through an IEEE1394 hub, do not connect or disconnect other devices from the hub during data transfer. There is a likeli- hood that data will be damaged. Connect all devices to the hub before you turn on the computer’s power.
