Important Notice
The viewer uses the hard disk as its storage medium. Although designed to be resistant against
mechanical and electromagnetic shock, because of the hard disk’s characteristics, there is a danger
that data may be lost or the service life of the viewer may be adversely affected due to malfunction
caused by these factors. Make sure to handle the viewer in which your valuable image data is stored
with care, and store backup copies to your computer whenever possible.
Caution:
c
❏ Do not expose the viewer to any impact, doing so may cause malfunctions.
❏ Do NOT format the viewer’s hard disk drive from your computer, as this will render the viewer
