16VQT1N74 Before using 1 Handling of HDD (Hard disk drive) The unit is equipped with the built-in 60 GB* HDD. While the HDD is capable of storing a large amount of data, there are a few things to look out for. When using this component, pay attention to the following points. * The usable HDD space is generally calculated as 1 GB=1,000,000,000 bytes. The capacities of this unit, PCs and software are expressed as 1 GB=1,024k1,024k1,024=1,073,741,824 bytes. Therefore, the indicated value of the capacity appears to be smaller. ∫Do not expose the HDD to vibrations and shocks. Due to the environment and handling conditions, the HDD may be subject to partial damages or may not be able to read, record, and play back data. Do not expose the unit to vibrations or shock, and do not turn off the power during recording or playback. If the unit is used in a place with loud sounds, such as a club or similar venue, the recording may stop due to sound vibrations. Recording data on an SD card is recommended in these places. ∫Back up data periodically. The HDD is temporary storage. In order to avoid erasing data due to static electricity, electromagnetic waves, breakage, and failures, back up the data to a PC or DVD disc. (l90, 100) ∫If the HDD experiences any abnormality, back up data immediately. Failure in the HDD may produce continuous noise or choppy sound during recording or playing back. Continuous use will cause further deterioration, and may eventually disable the HDD. If these phenomena are observed, copy the data on the HDD to a PC, a DVD disc etc. immediately and contact consumer support. (l141, 142). Once the HDD is out of order, data cannot be restored. ∫Operation may stop in hot or cold environments. If the surrounding temperature is too hot or too cold, the unit is disabled in order to protect the HDD. ∫Do not use the unit in low atmospheric pressures. The HDD may fail if it is used at altitudes of 3000 m or higher above sea level. ∫Transportation When the unit is transported, turn off the power and be careful not to shake, fall, or impact the unit. ∫Falling detection [ ] is indicated on the screen when it detects a falling state (a weightless state). In that case, HDD operation noise may be recorded. If the falling state is detected repeatedly, the unit may stop the recording or playback operation in order to protect the HDD. ∫HDD access lamp [ACCESS HDD] A ≥The lamp illuminates while the HDD is being accessed (initialization, recording, playback, deleting etc.). ≥Do not perform the following operations when the lamp illuminates. It may damage the HDD or cause a malfunction in the unit. jOperate the mode dial jTurn the unit off jInsert and remove the USB cable jExpose the unit to vibrations or shock Indemnity about 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, 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). HDCHS9P-VQT1N74_ENG.book 16 ページ 2007年12月25日 火曜日 午後8時43分
