Before Use

Eng.p6-9.p65 2003/02/13, 16:477

Operating Precautions

Precautions Pertaining to the Battery

Caution:

• Charge only with specified charger.

• Charge the Battery within an ambient temperature range of 50 F (10 °C) and 86 F (30 °C).

• The Battery may be warm after charging or just after use. This is normal.

• Do not use an insufficiently charged or worn out Battery.

• If charging is done in extreme low or high temperatures, Battery charge time increases.

Safety precautions:

• Do not place the Battery near, or dispose of in fire.

• Do not directly connect (short circuit) the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals.

• Never attempt to disassemble or reassemble the Battery.

To avoid damage to the Battery:

• Do not drop or jar the Battery.

• Use the Battery with specified models only.

• If the Battery is used in extremely high temperatures, a safety device will automatically

prevent operation.

To ensure longer battery life:

• While not in use, remove Battery from the unit and AC Adaptor and store in a cool, dark, dry place. If you leave the Battery in the unit or on the AC Adaptor, the Battery

will no longer be rechargeable.

• Keep the Battery terminals clean.

Card Data Protection

(Refer to page 10 for details on compatible cards.)

• Do not unplug the AC adaptor or disconnect the USB cable connecting a PC while this unit is in operation.

• Do not remove the card while it is being accessed.

• Be sure the card does not contain important data before formatting it. Formatting

irreversibly deletes all data stored on the card.

• Do not touch the terminals on the back of the Memory Card.

• Electrical interference, electrostatic discharges and malfunctions of the unit or card

may all result in damage to the card or data loss. It is recommended that any important data also be backed up on a PC.

• Stored data should be periodically backed up as a protection against data corruption, data loss or device malfunction. Please note that our company shall not accept any liability for damage or loss of stored data.

• SD Memory Cards, Memory Sticks, Smart Media Cards and some CF Cards (when a PC Card Slot is used) include a write-protect switch. When this switch is set to the “LOCK” position, it will not be possible to write data to or delete data from the Memory Card or format Memory Card.

Eng.p6-9.p65 2003/02/13, 16:478

Operating Precautions

Handling the PC Card HDD

The PC Card HDD is a very small, high-precision hard disk drive. Be particularly careful when handling this drive. Strictly observe the following to avoid HDD malfunction, damage, or data loss.

• Do not subject the PC Card HDD to excessive vibration and strong impacts.

• Do not use the unit in areas of extreme temperature differences (where temperature

changes more than 15 °C in one hour). If the unit is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm place or vice versa, or if a room is quickly heated in wintertime or quickly cooled in summertime, or if a cooler blows directly on the unit, etc., condensation (dew) may form. Using the unit in this condition may cause serious damage to the HDD. If condensation occurs, turn the unit power off and remove the PC Card HDD. Then leave this way for about 4 hours until the ambient temperature equalises. After confirming condensation is no longer present, you may use the unit.

• Do not twist the PC Card HDD or press down on the label surface, and do not write on the PC Card HDD using a pen with a hard tip, as these actions may damage the PC Card HDD. When holding the PC Card HDD, always hold it by the outside edges.

• Do not remove the label that is attached to the PC Card HDD. If this label is removed, you may not be eligible for warranty service or other services.

• Before removing the PC Card HDD from its special carrying case, make sure that the side of the case labeled “PC Card HDD” is facing upwards. If the case cover is opened and the labeled side is not facing upwards, the PC Card HDD may fall out and be damaged.

• Always use the special carrying case to carry the PC Card HDD.

• Please note that our company shall not accept any liability for damage or loss of

data stored within the PC Card HDD due to inappropriate handling.

ScanDisk

(“CheckDisk” for Windows 2000/XP users)

• Do not subject the PC Card HDD to excessive vibration or strong impacts. Also, do

not turn off the power supply or remove the card from the unit while it is in operation, otherwise data may be corrupted. If a problem occurs, immediately use the computer’s ScanDisk/CheckDisk function to check the media contents. (It takes several hours for ScanDisk/CheckDisk to finish checking the PC Card HDD.) It is recommended that you then make a backup of the data on the media. See page 44 on how to connect the unit to a computer. Refer to your computer manual regarding ScanDisk/CheckDisk function.

Before Use

POWER Lamp Indications During Charging

During normal charging, the POWER Lamp flashes in approx. 1-second intervals. Charging usually finishes in about 90 minutes. However, if the lamp flashes faster or slower than this (or if POWER Lamp goes out before charging is finished), it means a problem has occurred. The flashing speed can tell you what the problem may be. See below.

Flashing rapidly (approx. 0.5-second intervals):

• Possible problem with the unit or battery or the AC adaptor. Flashing slowly (approx. 6 second intervals):

• Temperature of the battery or its surroundings is too high or low, or the battery is overdischarging. Charging can still continue under these conditions, but will take longer than normal.

Lamp is OFF (charging is not yet finished):

• There may be a problem with the AC adaptor.

FORMAT?

Caution regarding PC Card HDD Formats

• Formatting a PC Card HDD with this unit must be done in Copy mode, not PC mode (USB connection). However, if the disk has multiple partitions created on a device, such as a notebook PC, formatting on this unit will restore the disk to a single partition (factory default). To avoid this, use the same device used previously to format the card.

• Windows 95/98 has a FDISK.EXE utility for managing disk partitions, but it must never be used to partition a PC Card HDD. Otherwise, the storage capacity of the PC Card HDD will be reported incorrectly, and it will no longer work properly. Also, do not use Windows 95/98 to format a PC Card HDD that contains multiple partitions or data in other partitions of the disk may become corrupted, and any saved data may become unusable.

• Only the first par tition of a multi partition disk created on a separate device, such as a notebook PC will be recognised.

• Also avoid formatting other types of PC Cards using PC mode (USB connection), otherwise the format may not be mutually recognizable by the computer and the unit, or data corruption may occur. Always use the unit to format PC Cards.

Caution regarding Formatting

• When a card is formatted, all data saved on the card is irreversibly deleted.

Check the card storage capacity and any data stored on the card, then copy important data to another drive or card before formatting. Also, since some files types can only be displayed on a PC, use a PC to check card contents.

• When using this unit to for mat cards, use only the correct type of card. Always check card storage capacity and any stored data before formatting.
