Unit care

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
