Unit care
Refere nce
HDD (Hard disk drive) handling care
The HDD is a high precision recording instrument and because of its long recording capability and high speed operation it is a very special device that is easily susceptible to damage.
The HDD is a device that is not built to
withstand vibration/shock or dust
Depending on the setup environment and handling of the HDD some content may become damaged and play and recording may no longer be possible. Especially during operation, do not subject the unit to any vibration, shock, or remove the AC mains lead from the household mains socket. In the event of a power failure during recording or play, the content may be damaged.
HDD is a very special device that is easily
susceptible to damage
This unit cannot save (backup) the HDD titles to media. You have to be very careful when handling the unit and editing the title.
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 VCR, etc.
Place in an area where
condensation does not occur. Conditions where condensation may occur
–When there is an extreme change in temperature
(moving from a very hot location to a very cold location, or vice versa, or 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.
–During the rainy season.
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.
Cigarette smoke etc. causes malfunction
or breakdown
The unit may breakdown if cigarette smoke or bug spray/vapour, etc. gets inside the unit.
DO NOT
This unit
VCR
When moving the unit
1 Turn the unit off. (Wait until “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 turning the unit off, 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.
Indemnity concerning recorded content
Panasonic does not accept any responsibility for damages directly or indirectly due to any type of problems that result in loss of recording or edited content (data), and does not guarantee any content if recording or editing does not work properly. Likewise, the above also applies in a case where any type of repair is made to the unit (including any other non-HDD related component).
