Handling of HDD 
(Hard disk drive)
The unit is equipped with the built-in 60 GB
*
 HDD. While the HDD is capable of storing a large amount of 
data, there are a few things to look out for. When using this component, pay attention to the following points.
* The usable HDD space is generally calculated as 1 GB=1,000,000,000 bytes. The capacities of this 
unit, PCs and software are expressed as 1 GB=1,024k1,024k1,024=1,073,741,824 bytes. 
Therefore, the indicated value of the capacity appears to be smaller.
∫ Do not expose the HDD to 
vibrations and shocks. 
Due to the environment and handling conditions, 
the HDD may be subject to partial damages or 
may not be able to read, record, and play back 
data. Do not expose the unit to vibrations or 
shock, and do not turn off the power during 
recording or playback.
If the unit is used in a place with loud sounds, 
such as a club or similar venue, the recording may 
stop due to sound vibrations. Recording data on 
an SD card is recommended in these places.
∫ Back up data periodically.
The HDD is temporary storage. In order to avoid 
erasing data due to static electricity, 
electromagnetic waves, breakage, and failures, 
back up the data to a PC or DVD disc. (l 100, 112)
∫ If the HDD experiences any 
abnormality, back up data 
immediately.
Failure in the HDD may produce continuous 
noise or choppy sound during recording or 
playing back. Continuous use will cause further 
deterioration, and may eventually disable the 
HDD. If these phenomena are observed, copy 
the data on the HDD to a PC, a DVD disc etc. 
immediately and contact consumer support. 
(l 153, 154)
Once the HDD is out of order, data cannot be restored.
∫ Operation may stop in hot or cold 
environments.
If the surrounding temperature is too hot or too cold, 
the unit is disabled in order to protect the HDD.
∫ Do not use the unit in low 
atmospheric pressures.
The HDD may fail if it is used at altitudes of 
3000 m (9800 feet) or higher above sea level.
∫ Transportation
When the unit is transported, turn off the power 
and be careful not to shake, fall, or impact the unit.
∫ Falling detection
[
] is indicated on the screen when it detects a 
falling state (a weightless state). In that case, 
HDD operation noise may be recorded. If the 
falling state is detected repeatedly, the unit may 
stop the recording or playback operation in order 
to protect the HDD.
∫ HDD access lamp [ACCESS HDD] A
≥ The lamp illuminates while the HDD is being 
accessed (initialization, recording, playback, 
deleting etc.).
≥ Do not perform the following operations when 
the lamp illuminates. It may damage the HDD 
or cause a malfunction in the unit.
jTurn the unit off
jInsert and remove the USB cable
jExpose the unit to vibrations or shock
≥ About disposing of or giving away this unit. (
l 141)
Indemnity about recorded content
Panasonic does not accept any responsibility 
for damages directly or indirectly due to any 
type of problems that result in loss of 
recording or edited content, and does not 
guarantee any content if recording or editing 
does not work properly. Likewise, the above 
also applies in a case where any type of repair 
is made to the unit (including any other non-
HDD related component).
