Use within specified
temperature and humidity
ranges
Store and use the unit only in locations
where the temperature and humidity are
within the specified storage and operating
ranges. The HDD may fail to record
properly in environments where the
temperature is too high or too low, and use
in such environments may damage the unit.
The unit is equipped with a sensor to
measure the ambient temperature and may
stop operating when the temperature is too
low or too high. The indicators allow you to
check the temperature detected by the unit.
If the unit stops operating because the
detected temperature is out of the operating
range, wait until the temperature returns to
the operating range before using the unit
again.
Save video data to archive
media
To guard against inadvertent data loss,
regular saving of video data to archive
media is recommended.
Destroy or erase data before
disposal
Before selling the unit or giving it to
someone else, you should take steps to
make it harder to recover previously
recorded data, for example by filling the
entire HDD with data shot in a quiet place
with the lens cover on. Note that data in the
HDD may not be completely erased when
the HDD is formatted.
If you plan to dispose of the unit, physical
destruction is recommended. You can make
it very difficult to recover previously
recorded data by physically destroying the
internal HDD.
