ACCESSORIESPower cord Fixer power cord tieHard disk protectionIf any hard disk format errors are found when the power isturned on, the whole hard disk is checked automatically. If anyfurther problems are found with the hard disk, the POWERindicator flashes. Please contact the place of purchase if youneed to reformat the hard disk or make backups of any images.The hard disk is very sensitive to dust, vibration and shocks,and it should not be used in places near sources of magneticfields. Be sure to observe the following points in order toprevent any loss of data.• Do not subject the digital video recorder to shocks.• Do not use the digital video recorder in places where it willbe subjected to vibration or places which are unstable.• Do not disconnect the power cord while recording orplayback is in progress.• Do not use in places which are subject to rapid changes intemperature (changes of around 10°C in an hour).• If the digital video recorder is moved to a place with a largedifference in temperature or a high level of humidity,condensation may form. If the digital video recorder is usedwith condensation inside it, operating problems may occur.• Do not install the digital video recorder in places which areconstantly vibrating, such as vehicles or trains.The hard disk and cooling fan areconsumables.• These parts should generally be replaced after 2 years ofuse (for the hard disk) or 3 years of use (for the cooling fan)at normal temperatures of 25°C. These periods of time areintended as guides only, and are not a guarantee of productperformance.For important recordings• Always check whether a recording has been recordedproperly.• In case a recording was not recorded properly with thisbecause of faulty connections with other equipment or acorrect playback is not possible, any claims forcompensation will be declined.• For important recordings, it is recommended to make aperiodical backup copy for protection against loss from anymalfunction or accident.Notes on handling internal hard disk drivecomponentsThis unit has a built-in hard disk drive (HDD).Be sure to observe the following points carefully when operating,setting-up and servicing the unit.1 Do not subject the unit to shocks or vibration.If the unit is subjected to shocks or vibration, it may damage theHDD or cause corruption of the data stored in the HDD.• Do not move the unit while the power is turned on. Always besure to turn off the power before removing the unit from orplacing it onto the rack.• When transporting the unit, pack it securely using the specifiedpacking materials. In addition, use a method of transportationthat minimizes vibration.• When placing the unit down on a surface such as a floor,attach the specified feet to the base of the unit and place itdown gently. If the feet are not attached, place the unit downvery carefully so that it does not make any noise.2 Do not move the unit for 30 seconds after turning off thepower.After the power is turned off, the disk inside the HDD will continueto spin for a brief period due to inertia, and the heads will be in anunstable state.During this time, the unit is even more susceptible to shocks andvibration than when power is being supplied. Make sure that theunit is not subjected to even gentle vibration for at least 30seconds after turning off the power.3 Do not operate the unit when condensation has formed.If the unit is operated when condensation has formed, it maycause operating problems.If sudden changes in the ambient temperature occur, wait for thetemperature to stabilize before operating the unit.4 Notes when replacing the HDDBe sure to follow the correct replacement procedure whenreplacing the HDD.• HDDs that have been removed from their packaging may notoperate correctly if they are subjected to any shocks orvibration. It is recommended that you place the HDD onto asoft, level surface with the printed circuit board facing upwardafter unpacking it.• Be careful not to subject the HDD to shocks or vibration whenremoving and tightening screws as part of the HDDreplacement procedure. Make sure that all screws aretightened securely so that they will not become loose.The HDD is sensitive to static electricity, so you should takeproper precautions to prevent static electricity buildup.5 Handling the HDD unit by itselfIf transporting or storing the HDD unit by itself, always be sure topack it in the specified packaging first.In addition, use a method of transportation that minimizes vibration.If the HDD becomes damaged, handle the unit and the damagedHDD that has been removed in order for it to be replaced carefullyto prevent the problem from being aggravated until as the natureof the problem can be checked and analyzed.4 English
