Recording and/or playback functions may be unavailable
due to hard-drive or connecting unit failures. Always
confirm that recording can be carried out successfully
before carrying out important recording assignments. The
recorded content cannot be guaranteed.

It is recommended to periodically back up or mirror data in
order to prevent the loss of data in the event of
breakdowns, recording faults or accidents.

bMaintaining this unit

Turn the power off and remove the power plug from
the outlet. Wipe away any dust using a soft cloth.

When the stains are hard to remove...
Soak a cloth in water with diluted neutral detergent
and wring it. Wipe the stain with the moistened cloth
and finally dry off with a dry cloth.

CAUTION:

• Do not use paint thinner, benzine, or any other alcohol
based agents for cleaning. The exterior may deteriorate
or the paint may wear off.

• Follow the instructions supplied on the packaging of the
chemical cleaning agent.

b Hard disk: 2 years (25°C environment)

The life expectancy of each part depends on the
environment in which the unit is used. However, the head
and motor are particularly prone to wear and deterioration.
Therefore, writing errors are more likely to occur after two
years of use.

b Cooling fan: 3 years (25°C environment)

Cooling fan failure causes higher internal temperatures
which may result in a faulty hard disk. Periodically check
whether the cooling fan is working properly.

supplied at the time of purchase), when shipping the
unit.

Make sure you use the packaging materials supplied at the
time of the original purchase when shipping the unit or a
single internal component of the unit. Select a shipping
method that will cause the least amount of shock to the
unit during shipping.

Consult the dealership where this unit was
purchased for hard disk replacement.

• The hard disk is vulnerable to static electric shocks. Take
appropriate measures to prevent exposure to static
electricity.

• Unpackaged drives should be placed horizontally with their
base plate facing upwards on top of a soft cloth. Exposing
the hard disk to shocks and vibration may cause
breakdowns.
