Handling of the internal disk drive

• When

 

this

 

device

 

is

 

moved

 

to

 

a

 

location

 

where

 

the

 

temperature

 

is

 

radically

 

different,

 

water

 

droplets

 

may

 

condense

 

on

 

the

 

internal

 

disk

 

drive.

 

If

 

the

 

device

 

is

 

used

 

in

 

this

 

condition,

 

it

 

may

 

malfunction,

 

so

 

please

 

allow

 

several

 

hours

 

to

 

pass

 

before

 

operating

 

the

 

device.

• Do

 

not

 

turn

 

the

 

power

 

on

 

and

 

off

 

repeatedly.

 

This

 

may

 

damage

 

the

 

KRONOS.

• This

 

device

 

begins

 

to

 

access

 

the

 

internal

 

disk

 

drive

 

immediately

 

after

 

the

 

power

 

is

 

turned

 

on.

• Never

 

turn

 

off

 

the

 

power

 

while

 

the

 

internal

 

disk

 

drive

 

is

 

being

 

accessed.

 

Doing

 

so

 

can

 

cause

 

data

 

on

 

the

 

disk

 

to

 

be

 

lost,

 

so

 

that

 

the

 

next

 

time

 

the

 

KRONOS

 

is

 

turned

 

on,

 

it

 

may

 

fail

 

to

 

start

 

up

 

normally.

Regarding the LCD screen

The

 

KRONOS

 

LCD

 

screen

 

is

 

a

 

precision

 

device,

 

and

 

careful

 

attention

 

has

 

been

 

paid

 

to

 

its

 

product

 

quality.

 

Although

 

you

 

may

 

notice

 

some

 

of

 

the

 

issues

 

listed

 

below,

 

please

 

be

 

aware

 

that

 

these

 

are

 

due

 

to

 

the

 

characteristics

 

of

 

LCD

 

screens,

 

and

 

are

 

not

 

malfunctions.

• There

 

may

 

be

 

pixels

 

in

 

the

 

screen

 

that

 

are

 

always

 

dark

 

(unlit)

 

or

 

always

 

bright

 

(lit).

• Depending

 

on

 

the

 

displayed

 

content,

 

the

 

brightness

 

of

 

the

 

screen

 

may

 

appear

 

uneven.

• Depending

 

on

 

the

 

displayed

 

content,

 

horizontal

 

stripes

 

of

 

shading

 

may

 

be

 

visible.

• Depending

 

on

 

the

 

displayed

 

content,

 

flickering

 

or

 

moire

 

patterns

 

may

 

be

 

visible.

Data handling

Incorrect

 

operation

 

or

 

malfunction

 

may

 

cause

 

the

 

contents

 

of

 

memory

 

to

 

be

 

lost,

 

so

 

we

 

recommend

 

that

 

you

 

save

 

important

 

data

 

on

 

a

 

CD

 

or

 

other

 

media.
