Unit care

Getting started

HDD/USB HDD handling care

• The HDD is a high precision device

The HDD is a high precision recording instrument and is easily susceptible to damage. Therefore, be careful of the following points while the unit is turned on, especially during operation, otherwise the HDD and the recorded content may be damaged:

- Do not subject the unit to any vibration and shock.

- Do not remove the AC mains lead from the household mains socket.

• The HDD is a temporary storage device

• The HDD is not an everlasting storage device. It is recommended to save the recorded content on a disc or to keep the original data or CDs that they were copied from.

• If you notice a problem with the HDD such as repetitive strange sounds, immediately save (backup) all content and request service. If you continue using the HDD with a problem, the unit or the recorded content will be damaged.

• If the HDD or USB HDD is damaged, the recorded content cannot be recovered.

Setup precautions

• Place the unit on a surface that is flat and not subject to vibration or impact.

• Do not place on anything that generates heat like a Set Top Box, etc.

• Place in an area where condensation does not occur. Conditions where condensation may occur

- When there is an extreme change in

temperature (e.g., when subjected to an air conditioner or when cooled air directly impacts the unit).

- When there is high humidity or a lot of steam

in the room.

In the above situation, without turning the unit on, let the unit adjust to the room temperature and wait 2–3 hours until condensation is gone.

• The unit may breakdown if cigarette smoke or bug spray/vapour, etc. gets inside the unit.

When moving the unit

Before moving the unit, ensure the disc tray is empty. 1 Switch the unit to standby mode. (Wait until

“Goodbye” disappears from the display.)

2 Remove the AC mains lead from the

household mains socket.

3 Move only after the unit has come to a

complete stop (approx. 3 minutes) in order to avoid subjecting to vibration and shock. (Even after the unit is switched to standby mode, the HDD continues operating for a short time.)

Cleaning

• This unit

- Wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

- Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.

- Before using chemically treated cloth, carefully read the instructions that came with the cloth.

• This unit’s lens

• Use the Lens cleaner (optional) to clean the unit’s lens.

Lens cleaner: RP-CL720AE

• This lens cleaner may not be available for sale in all countries, e.g. not available in Germany, please consult your Panasonic dealer for advice.

When requesting this unit for repair

The registration of the USB HDD may be cancelled in the process of repairing this unit. You can use the USB HDD again by re-registering, but all recorded content already on the USB HDD will be lost. In such cases, the recorded content (data) cannot be recovered.

To dispose or transfer this unit

This unit may contain private information. Before disposing of or transferring this unit, perform the following to delete the data, including personal or secret information:

- Format HDD (> 87, 95)
