PRECAUTION

Location

For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your

unit, keep the following in mind when selecting a place for

its installation:

Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from sources

of intense heat.

Avoid dusty or humid places.

Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for proper heat

dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes at the top and

bottom of the unit. Do not place the unit on a carpet

because this will block the ventilation holes.

Install the unit in a horizontal position only.

Avoid locations subject to strong vibrations.

Avoid moving the unit between cold and hot locations.

Do not place the unit directly on top of a monitor TV, as this

may cause playback or recording problems.

Avoiding Electrical Shock and Fire

Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

Do not pull on the power cord when disconnecting it from

an AC wall outlet. Grasp it by the plug.

If any liquid is spilled on the unit, unplug the power cord

immediately and have the unit inspected at a factory-

authorised service centre.

Do not place anything directly on top of this unit.

1 BEFORE USE

Notes on handling the internal hard disk

Be sure to observe the following points carefully when

operating, setting-up, or servicing the external storage unit.

 Do not subject the external storage unit to

sudden impact or vibration.

If the external storage unit is subjected to sudden impact or

vibration, it may damage the hard disk or cause corruption of

the data stored within it.

z Do not move the external storage unit while the power is

turned on. Always ensure that the power is turned off

before removing the external storage unit from or placing it

in a rack.

z When transporting the external storage unit, pack it

securely using the specified materials. In addition, choose

a method of transportation that minimizes vibration.

z When placing the external storage unit on the floor or

another similar surface, attach the specified pads to its

base and place it down gently.

 Do not move the external storage unit for 30

seconds after turning off the power.

After the power is turned off, the disk inside the hard disk

continues to spin for a brief period due to inertia and the

heads are in an unstable condition.

During this period, the external storage unit is even more

susceptible to damage from sudden impact and vibration than

when it is turned on. Make sure that the external storage unit

is not subjected to even gentle vibration for at least 30

seconds after turning off the power.

 Do not operate the external storage unit when

condensation has formed on it.

If the external storage unit is operated in this type of condition,

there is a possibility that it may become permanently

damaged.

If the temperature around the external storage unit changes

suddenly, wait for it to stabilize before operating the external

storage unit.

 Notes on replacing the hard disk

Be sure to follow the correct procedure when replacing the

hard disk.

z Hard disks that have been removed from their packing may

not operate correctly if they are subjected to sudden impact

or vibration. It is recommended that you place the hard disk

on a soft, level surface with the printed circuit board facing

upward after it has been unpacked.

z Take care to avoid subjecting the hard disk to sudden

impact or vibration when removing and tightening screws

as part of the hard disk replacement procedure.

Tighten all screws securely to ensure that they do not

loosen.

z The hard disk is sensitive to static electricity; accordingly,

you should take the appropriate precautions to prevent the

buildup of static charges.

 Handling a detached hard disk unit

If transporting or storing the hard disk unit in a detached

condition, be sure to first of all pack it using the specified

materials.

In addition, choose a method of transportation that minimizes

vibration.

Notes on installation locations

Avoid subjecting the hard disk to sudden impact or vibration.

In addition, avoid using it in dusty locations or near magnetic

objects. The following precautions should be observed in

order to prevent the loss of recorded data:

z Do not subject the external storage unit to sudden impact.

z Do not use the external storage unit on a vibrating or

unstable surface.

z Do not disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet

during recording or playback.

z Do not use the external storage unit in areas with extreme

temperature changes (i.e., 10ºC or more per hour).

z Condensation may occur if the external storage unit is

moved to an area with a significantly different temperature

or high humidity. If the external storage unit is used with

condensation inside, operating problems may occur.

z Do not install the external storage unit inside motor

vehicles, trains, or other areas with constant vibration.

z The external storage unit has ventilation holes on its left,

rear, and bottom panels. Ensure that these holes are not

blocked after installation.

z Do not use the external storage unit in a bookshelf, box, or

any other area with poor ventilation.

z This external storage unit is designed for use in a

horizontal orientation, and vertical setup may result in

malfunction.

z When installing the unit on a rack, ensure that a gap of at

least 5 cm at the sides and 1 cm at the top and bottom is

provided.

The hard disk and cooling fan are

consumable components.

If used in an ambient temperature of 25ºC, the hard disk

should generally be replaced after two years, and the cooling

fan after three years. These figures are intended as a general

guideline only and should not be taken as a guarantee of

component performance.

The FAN error indicator flashes if a problem occurs with the

fan.

Important recordings

Always perform test recording in advance to confirm whether

the playback of the external storage unit is normal.

Note that Sanyo accepts no responsibility for losses occurring

as a result of recording or playback problems caused by

malfunction of this external storage unit or any connected

devices.

As a precaution against malfunction or accidents, it is

advisable to periodically back up important recordings or to

perform mirroring.

Protection of the hard disk

The hard disk is checked automatically when the power is

turned on. If an abnormality is detected, the ERROR indicator

of the digital video recorder begins to flash. To initialize the

hard disk or to save images stored on it, contact the dealer

from whom this external storage unit was purchased.

Supported hard disks

Use hard disks recommended by Sanyo. Please contact the

dealer for details.
