*
To prevent possible electric shock and damage to the D-160, do not remove the
main unit cover or reach the inside the unit.
*
Do not let water or other liquids, or metal objects such as pins,
accidentally get into the D-160 because this may lead to electric shock or damage.
Should water enter the inside of the unit, remove the power plug from the AC
outlet, and consult your dealer or nearest FOSTEX service station.
*
To prevent damage to the D-160, be sure to turn on any connected devices
first, and then turn on the power to the D-160.
When you removing or connectting the cables to the input/output connectors
on the D-160, make sure that the channel INPUT faders and volume controls
are set to "0."
Notes on handling the hard disk
*
"FORMAT FIRST".
You need to format the optional hard disk prior to start recording if a brand
new hard disk drive has been installed.
Refer to the explanation of "2-24. Disk Format ?" menu on the Setup mode.
We recommend that you better the hard disk before you start fresh recording
on it.
However, be also aware of that the formatting process will erase all the recorded
song data.
*
The D-160 is equipped with a high-precision hard disk. Do not expose the unit
to excessive vibration at any time. In particular, do not move the unit or allow
any impact to the unit when the power is on.
*
Before turning the power off to the D-160, first quit Setup mode and make sure that the
recorder section is stopped. Especially, never attempt to turn off the power to the unit
while the hard disk is accessing data (the HD ACCESS LED is lit or flashing).
Otherwise, not only will you lose recorded data, but you may damage the D-160.
FOSTEX is not responsible for data lost during operation of the D-160.
*
Pack the D-160 in its shipping carton or an impact-resistant case, if you plan to
relocate it.
Make sure that the D-160 is kept free from external vibration or impact since
the it is very sensitive to vibration.
* If you wish to replace the included removable hard disk with another hard disk,
refer to "Before operating the D-160" on page "39."
Notes on the setup location
*
Do not install the D-160 in locations subject to the following:
* Extremely high or low temperature, or significant changes in temperature
* Excessive humidity or dust
* Excessive changes in power supply voltage
* Unstable or significantly vibrating or shaking surfaces
* Close to strong magnetic fields (such as a TV or speakers)
*
If you move the D-160 from a place with an excessively low temperature to a warm
place, or if you use the D-160 in a room in where the temperature varies significantly
during winter, condensation may occur on the hard disk or other parts.
In such cases, leave the D-160 in its new location for about an hour before you turn
on the power.
