SQT0807

Unit care

Getting started

HDD/USB HDD handling care

• 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

- 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

• 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

“Good-bye” 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

• 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.

• Use the lens cleaner (not supplied) to clean the
unit’s lens.

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 (> 90)

- Perform “Shipping Condition” (> 98)
