• Physically dragging the unit
• Stacking another product on the unit
Note: Do NOT to apply shock, such as bumping or hitting a screwdriver against the HDD, during diagnosis with the case open.
Examples of dangerous handling: while the power is off
• Applying strong shock, although the HDD is more resistant to shock when the power is off
• Dropping the unit from a height of several centimeters, or lifting one side of the unit and letting it drop
• Do NOT move the unit immediately after the power is turned of f. Wait at least 30 seconds after the indication on the FL display
changes from POWER OFF to the clock indication before moving the unit.
If the AC power cable is accidentally disconnected before turning the unit off, wait at least for one minute before moving the unit.
In this case, damage to the HDD caused by sudden shutoff may be small because the emergency relief mechanism is activated.
However, if sudden shutoff occurrs during recording or playback, recorded data may be damaged. Be sure to check the operations.
