Handling of HDD 
(Hard disk drive)
This unit is equipped with the built-in 120 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.
∫ 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, 
111)
∫ 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 149, 150)
Once the HDD is out of order, data cannot be 
restored.
∫ Operation may stop in hot or cold 
environments.
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, drop, or cause 
impact to the unit.
∫ Falling detection
[
] is indicated on the screen when it detects a 
falling state (a weightless state). If the falling 
state is detected repeatedly, the unit may stop 
the recording or playback operation in order to 
protect the HDD.
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).
