Precautions
This equipment has been tested

limits set out in the EMC
Directive using a connection
cable shorter than 3 metres.
On safety
Should any solid object or
liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the recorder and have it

before operating it any further.
About the hard disk drive
The hard disk has a high storage
density, which enables long
recording durations and quick
access to the written data.
However, it can easily be
damaged by shock, vibration or
dust, and should be kept away
from magnets. To avoid losing
important data, observe the
following precautions.
• Do not apply a strong shock to
the recorder.
• Do not place the recorder in a
location subject to mechanical
vibrations or in an unstable
location.
• Do not place the recorder on
top of a hot surface, such as a
VCR or amplifier (receiver).
• Do not use the recorder in a
place subject to extreme
changes in temperature
(temperature gradient less
than 10 °C/hour).
• Do not move the recorder
with its mains lead connected.
• Do not disconnect the mains
lead while the power is on.
• When disconnecting the
mains lead, turn off the power
and make sure that the hard
disk drive is not operating (the
clock is displayed in the front
panel display for at least 30
seconds and all recording or
dubbing has stopped).
• Do not move the recorder for
one minute after you have
unplugged the mains lead.
