Do not use this product near water or in an environment where it
is exposed to dampness or there is the possibility of it getting
wet.

There are No User Serviceable Parts inside this unit. Servicing
should be done by qualified service personnel.

marking label. If unsure sure of the type of power supply that is
available, consult your dealer or local power company.

Do Not Overload Power Outlets

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.

Verify Power Plugs are Fully Inserted

To prevent potential electrical shock to personnel, verify that the
FS-C power cord plug is fully inserted in to a grounded receptor
and that the plug blades are not exposed.

ATTENTION

POUR PREVENIR LES CHOCS ELECTRIQUES NE PAS
UTILISER CETTE FICHE POLARISEE AVEC UN
PROLONGATEUR, UNE PRISE DE COURANT OU UNE
AUTRE SORTIE DE COURANT, SAUF SI LES LAMES
PEUVENT ETRE INSEREES A FOND SANS EN LAISSER
AUCUNE PARTIE A DECOUVERT.

Power-Cord Protection

• Routing Power-Cords
Route power supply cords so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them.
Avoid sharp angles in the cord, particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit the
product.

FS-C Portable DTE Recorder v

• Non-Use Period
During extended periods when the device is not used,
unplug it from the power source and retract the power-cord.

Grounding or Polarization

• Polarized
If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating
current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the
other), it will fit into the outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to
fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

• Grounded
If this product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type
plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin, it will only fit
into a grounding type power outlet. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the grounding type plug.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the FS-C,
verify that the antenna or cable system is grounded. This
provides some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges.

Refer to Article 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA
70, for information about the proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.

vi FS-C Portable DTE Recorder

Lightning and Power Surges

During electrical storms or when left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug the FS-C from the power source and
disconnect the antenna or cable system.

Power Lines

Do not locate an outside antenna system in the vicinity of
overhead power lines, electric light or power circuits, or where it
can fall onto such lines or circuits.

When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should
be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.

Optical Precaution

The use of optical instruments with this device will increase
hazards to the eyes hazard.

Maintenance and Moving

If you edit with applications from Adobe, Apple, Avid,
Canopus, Matrox, Pinnacle, Sony, Ulead, and many others,
Focus Enhancements' DTE Technology is the only solution that
can save hundreds of hours a year by recording clips to disk in
your non-linear editor’s (NLE) native file format.

DTE Eliminates Pre-edit Processing

transfer or convert video clips before editing. The FS-C is a
stand-alone device that records DV25, HD 720p, and HD 1080i
video to its disk drive as a NLE native file. In HD Recorder
mode it has the capability of capturing to disk HD 720p and
1080i video from HDV camcorders equipped with a 1394
interface. For most DV and many HDV compatible NLE
systems, when the disk drive is connected to a computer the
clips are immediately available for editing. Shoot, connect, and
edit: it is now that easy.
