Names and Functions
1. Detachable remote controller connector
The detachable remote controller is connected here.
You can remove the controller. Connect the optional
extension cable (Model 8551) to extend the distance.
7. Power switch
This switch turns the main power to the recorder
on/off.
<WARNING !>
Before turning the power off to the recorder, first quit
the SETUP mode and make sure that the recorder
section is stopped.
Especially, never attempt to turn off the power to the
recorder while the hard disk is accessing data (the
ACCESS LED is lit or flashing). Otherwise, not only will
you lose recorded data, you may damage to the unit.
<Note>
Should this power switch be switched On/Off in quick
succession, in some cases it will fail to switch On at all.
This is due to functioning of the internal protection
circuit and is not a breakdown. Consequently, should
such a symptom appear, switch Off power for a
moment, then switch On again after waiting 1 or 2
minutes.
2. Controller mount
The detachable remote controller is mounted on the
front panel.
6. Hard disk access LED (Red)
This LED lights up or blinks when the hard disk is
writing or reading data. (Same as the ACCESS LED
on the detachable remote controller.)
5. Hard disk power LED (Green)
This LED lights up if the hard disk operates correctly
when you turn the power on to the recorder. If the
Lock key is unlocked, the power to the hard disk
will not be turned on, and the LED will not light up.
3. Removable hard disk cartridge slot
This slot is used to insert a removable hard disk
cartridge. This system allows you to replace the hard
disk easily.
<Note>
* This slot is covered by a dust-proof panel when the
recorder is shipped from the factory. Remove this
panel in order to insert a cartridge.
* The recorder package contains a removable case
(without a hard disk). Install your hard disk in this
removable case.
* Refer to “
Quick operation Guide
” for more information
on how to replace the removable hard disk cartridge.
4. Lock/Unlock key
When you remove or install the hard disk cartridge,
you need to lock/unlock here using the included
key.
