WARNING !!!

Ferguson TV receivers support recording on external hard disk drives (HDDs) and flash
memories (pendrives). In all instances, the correct operation of the recording function
depends on the type of connected memory! You must read the following limitations.

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 (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 receiver.

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

4. External hard disk drives should be autonomously powered, since the built-in
USB port is unable to provide sufficient power.

5. Only one of the two USB ports can be used at the same time!

CAUTION

1. Under no circumstances should you disconnect the USB device from the
receiver during recording or playback. Disconnecting during operation may
cause damage to the receiver 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 receiver!
