Also, disregarding these precautions could cause damage to, or loss of, data

stored within the media.

• Do not leave this unit in direct sunlight, inside tightly closed vehicles, in extremely

hot or cold places, or near heaters or air conditioners. Avoid rapid temperature

changes.

• Operate unit well away from magnetic or electromagnetic wave sources (e.g.

microwave ovens, TVs, game devices, portable telephones, etc.) as stored data may

be lost or distorted.

• Do not let volatile substances, such as insecticides, come in contact with this unit

as it could seriously damage the unit’s exterior finish.

• Do not allow this unit to remain in dusty locations. If dust enters this unit, request an

inspection from the retail store where this unit was purchased.

• Ensure that this unit is protected from vibration and impact. Do not swing or drop

this unit.

• Do not place objects on top of this unit and do not drop objects onto this unit.

• Do not attempt to twist or apply excess pressure to this unit.

• Do not use this unit’s jacks for purposes other than those specifically designated for

each jack. Always ensure that the cables are properly connected.

• Do not insert foreign objects into this unit. The battery and the storage media are

the only objects that may be inserted into this unit.

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.

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.

Copying and Backup

Copying: Memory Card -> PC Card HDD

When copying from a Memory Card to the PC Card HDD, create a folder entitled

“CARD****” for each copy and save Memory Card data into this folder. When BACKUP

is ON, the “CARD****” folder mentioned above is created in the “BACKUP” folder of

the PC Card HDD, and Memory Card data is copied into this folder. Thus, normal PC

Card HDD available space is reduced by half. See page 22 on how to turn the

BACKUP function ON and OFF.

See next page on how to copy from PC Card HDD to a Memory Card.

• The contents of the BACKUP folder cannot be checked during TV mode. Use the computer to

check the contents at this time.

• Secure data files (audio files that include copyright restrictions) will not be copied.

• The **** portion of the “CARD****” folder name is assigned automatically in numerical order

within the range of “A001~A999, B001~Z999”. Because of this, please do not change the

file names yourself.

• Remove battery if unit will not

be used for a long period.

• Do not install/remove battery

or plug in or unplug the AC

adaptor with unit power ON.

This may cause unit damage

or loss of data.

• Do not unplug AC adaptor

while recharging.

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 over-

discharging. 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.

Turning the Power On

1 Insert the battery and connect the AC adaptor. (p. 17)

• The unit can be operated using only the battery, but when using PC mode, the AC

adaptor must be connected, otherwise the unit will not turn on.

• If this is not done, the HDD SAFETY Switch may prevent the unit from operating.

(p. 20)

3 Press STANDBY for approx. 2 seconds.

• The power comes on (POWER Lamp lights) and the

unit cycles through each operating mode in sequence.

(p. 13)

– Note –

• If using the unit on battery power only, the power will turn off automatically if no unit operations

are carried out for 5 minutes, in order to conserve battery power.

• The power cannot be turned off while the HDD SAFETY Detection Switch has been activated.

(p. 20)

In case of a power outage, the unit utilises the supplied battery as a backup

in order to protect the unit and the card data. If you are using the AC adaptor,

insert a sufficiently charged battery before turning on the power. The unit

cannot be used if only the AC adaptor is used.

To turn this unit off :

HDD SAFETY Switch

Important: Keep unit on flat, level surface while in

use. If the unit is lifted up or placed on a surface that is

not flat and level, the PC card HDD operation will be

stopped by the HDD SAFETY Switch to protect it from

damage.

• If the unit receives a strong impact, the PC Card HDD

data may be corrupted. It is advisable to keep this

switch ON. (ON is the default setting.)

• If the HDD SAFETY Detection Switch, located under

the unit, is activated, unit operation will be stopped

and a warning message will appear on the TV screen

and unit LCD. In this case, place unit on a flat, level

surface. Normal operation will resume. Any copy

operations resume from precise point where copying

was interrupted.

• If the HDD SAFETY Detection Switch is activated

while the unit is connected to a PC, “SAFETY MODE

PUT IT DOWN” will appear on the unit LCD. Copy

operation in progress at this time will be suspended,

and computer errors may also occur.

Remaining Battery Life Display

When the BATT. and the battery icon start flashing, all buttons, except

power off, are inoperable. Connect the AC adaptor or recharge the battery. If the

battery completely runs down during copying, the copying is stopped and power is

shut off. It may not be possible to play back the data that was being copied at this

time.

It is advisable to fully charge the battery before using the unit. (p. 17)
