ENGLISH
For better performance
The unit’s internal hard disk is protected by materials to withstand impact or drops better.
However, please understand that no guarantee against damage or data loss is implied.
AJ-PCS060G
The unit houses a hard disk drive (“HDD”).
Take the following precautions during setup and use to protect the HDD and data stored on it
from data loss or interrupted operation.
The HDD is a high-precision device. Operating conditions may pose a risk of partial damage,
and in a worst-case scenario, there is a serious risk that data cannot be read or recorded.
Thus, please do not consider the internal HDD a permanent storage place for data. Use it as a
temporary storage device until you can back up data on other storage media.
• Do not subject the unit to vibration or impact during use. (Otherwise, the HDD may be
damaged.)
• Do not use the unit where vibration occurs or put it on unstable surfaces.
• Do not use it in enclosed areas without air circulation, where operating heat cannot be
dissipated.
• Do not subject it to extreme changes in temperature.
→
Using the unit where the temperature changes suddenly poses a risk of condensation. Using
the unit with internal condensation may damage the HDD. Ensure a fairly constant room
temperature, where any temperature changes occur at less than 20 °C (68 °F) per hour.
• Do not use the unit in extremely humid places.
• Do not remove the battery pack or unplug the AC adapter when the power is on.
• Before transferring the unit elsewhere, always turn the unit OFF by holding the [POWER] button
for at least 2 seconds and waiting for it to finish shutting down.
Wait until it has stopped moving completely (about 2 minutes), and protect it from vibration and
impact in transit. (After turned OFF, the HDD will continue spinning from inertia for a while.)
• Do not use the unit at altitudes lower than –90 m (–300 feet or lower), or higher than 3,000 m
(10,000 feet or higher) above sea level.
As optional accessories, use a recommended battery pack and AC adapter.
Hard disk
Recorded data
If the HDD is damaged, data recorded on it will be lost. Always keep an extra copy of important
data on separate storage media. See page E-19 for instructions on backing up data.
Erasure of HDD data before disposal or transference of the unit
When you dispose of the unit or transfer it, we urge you to take responsibility for erasing any
important data on the HDD. This will avoid any problems from leaked information.
Dispose of the HDD after bringing it near a strong magnetic field and breaking it with a
hammer or other means to make it unreadable.
Note that Panasonic cannot be liable for data lost from HDD failure or other problems, or
for other direct or indirect loss.
E-9
For better performance (continued)
Never clean the unit with solvents such as benzene, thinner, or alcohol
• Before cleaning, remove the battery pack or unplug the AC adapter.
• Cleaning the unit with solvents may damage the outer case or cause the paint to peel.
• Use a clean, soft dry cloth to wipe away dust or dirt. If the unit becomes quite dirty, wipe it with
a cloth dampened in diluted neutral detergent after wringing the cloth well. Use a dry cloth to
wipe it dry.
• If you use a chemically treated dust cloth, follow the precautions for use.
Use the optional AC adapter (AG-B15).
Read the user’s manuals of all accessories carefully
before use.
Note:
When using an AC adapter, attach the included ferrite core
near the base of the battery-type connector on the DC cable
connected to the unit. Be sure to wind the cable around the
ferrite core twice, as shown, at time of attachment.
If you do not use the ferrite core, other devices may be
affected by the unit.
AC adapter
Cleaning
The unit’s internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a high-performance part that is subject to
maintenance.
To keep the unit in optimal condition, we recommend that you inspect it regularly and bring it to
the place of purchase for periodic maintenance.
Ask your dealer for further details about periodic maintenance.
Request periodic maintenance under this guideline. See page E-22 for instructions on checking
the operating time.
Tips:
• In some cases, the content of the HDD is cleared during maintenance, so any data will be lost.
Before maintenance, always back up needed data on separate storage media.
Please understand that you will not be compensated for lost data.
• You will not be compensated for data stored on the HDD in the case of HDD failure. Lost data cannot be
recovered.
The HDD is for temporary storage of data, and we recommend backing up needed data promptly.
