AW1600 Owner’s Manual
When connecting the included AC adaptor (PA-300), you
must first connect it to the DC IN jack of the AW1600, and
then to the AC wall outlet. After connecting the AC adap-
tor to the AW1600, wrap the cable around the hook as
shown in the diagram. This will prevent the cable from
being accidentally pulled out, causing the AW1600 to
unexpectedly lose power.
You must use the following procedure to switch the power
of the AW1600 between ON and STANDBY. If you fail to
follow this procedure, the internal hard disk or your exter-
nal monitor system may be damaged.
In a system that includes the AW1600, turn the power of

■Turning the power on

•Before you turn on the power, make sure that the AC adaptor is
firmly connected to the AW1600 and to the AC outlet. If the
power is disconnected while the AW1600 is being used, the
AW1600 itself or the hard disk may be damaged.
CAUTION

■Turning the power off (shut down)

• If you turn off the power of the AW1600 without perform-
ing the above shutdown procedure, not only will any
unsaved changes be lost, but you also risk damaging the
data on the hard disk, and damaging or drastically short-
ening the lifespan of the hard disk itself and the internal
CD-RW drive. Please use caution.
IMPORTANT
•A small amount of electrical current is flowing even when
the power is in STANDBY mode. If you will not be using
the AW1600 for an extended period of time, be sure to dis-
connect the AC adaptor from your AC outlet.
