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

This unit cannot save (backup) the HDD titles to media. You have to be very careful when handling the unit and editing the title.

•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.

•Do not block the cooling fan on the rear of the unit.

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

Getting started

When moving the unit

1Switch the unit to standby mode. (Wait until “BYE” disappears from the display.)

2Remove the AC mains lead from the household mains socket.

3Move 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.

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.
