REMEMBER

1. In order to use an external USB memory, the
memory must support the USB 2.0 standard. To
ensure stable recording and playback, you must use
a memory with a recording speed of 9.0 MB/s or
greater. Slower hard disk drives and flash memories
may not function properly, have problems with
recording or playing (image jitter), or not function at
all.

2. Only disks with one basic NTFS or FAT32 partition
(we recommend using the NTFS format) will function
properly. If you do not have such a format, prepare
the disk on your computer before connecting it to
the Ferguson FBOX3.

3. Highly fragmented or used memories may also
not operate smoothly or correctly.

CAUTION

1. Under no circumstances should you disconnect
the USB device from the Ferguson FBOX3 during
recording or playback. Disconnecting during
operation may cause damage to the Ferguson
FBOX3 and/or flash memory, and to the recorded
data.

2. Do not touch the working device (and in particular
the USB connector) with wet hands. Risk of electric
shock and permanent damage to the Ferguson
FBOX3!
