DirectHD Precautions
•
When the host computer is in the standby or hibernation mode, do not
turn on the AL series or connect/disconnect the DirectHD cable. It may
damage the file or cause malfunction of the host computer when the
host computer resumes.
•
If you delete some files of the AL series on the host computer, you may
not be able to restore them.
•
To use the DirectHD function, exit Windows and turn off the computer
before connecting it to the host computer with the DirectHD cable.
•
If you remove both of the AC adapter and battery pack after exiting
Windows, the DirectHD will fail to function. Before connecting to the
host computer, start Windows on the AL series and then, exit it to turn
off the AL series.
Synchronize Time
During data communication to the host computer, set the time of the AL series and the
host computer synchronized. When you modify the file, the modification time will be
recorded in the Properties of the file. If the time on the host computer and the AL
series is different each other, you may not be able to properly manage the files by the
modification time or accidentally overwrite the latest file with the previous version.
Application Program Installation
When installing an application program, turn on the AL series and install it on the
Windows of the AL series. You cannot install any application to the AL series through
the host computer.
Before installing an application program, carefully read its license
agreement.
