The HDD is a high precision recording instrument and because of its long recording capability and high speed operation it is a
very special device that is easily susceptible to damage.
The HDD is a device that is not built to withstand vibration/shock or dust
Depending on the setup environment and handling of the HDD some content may become damaged and play and recording may
no longer be possible. Especially during operation, do not subject the unit to any vibration, shock, or remove the AC mains lead
from the household AC mains socket . In the event of a power failure during recording or play, the content may be damaged.
Back up the HDD periodically
As a precaution for HDD failure, we recommend making a backup of the HDD periodically. However, in some cases where the
HDD is heavily damaged, backups may not be restored.
Immediately request service as soon as you feel there may be a problem with the HDD
If there is an irregularity within the HDD, repetitive strange sounds or distortion ("broken up" audio) may result. Using the HDD in
this condition may worsen the problem and in the worst case the HDD may no longer become usable. As soon as you notice this
type of problem, request service. Recorded content (data) on an HDD that has become unusable is unrecoverable.
