Your HDD (Hard disk drive) is a highly precise recording unit with a particularly long recording 
capacity and a high recording speed. Be careful with the unit since it can be easily damaged.
Always save an additional backup copy of important data on a disc!
!
Your HDD is sensitive to vibrations, jolts and dust. Improper handling or the wrong operating 
environment can lead to data loss. In some cases, the unit may no longer record or playback 
correctly. In particular, be sure to operate the HDD in a jolt- and vibration-free environment. Do not 
unplug the unit during recording or playback. Otherwise, data may be lost.
!
Your HDD is a temporary storage medium. It should not be used to permanently save recordings. 
Use your HDD for one-time viewing, editing and saving recordings to a disc.
!
Immediately save all HDD content to another medium (disc) if you detect any problems. 
Irregularities are manifested in repeated, inexplicable noises and picture distortions. Should you 
detect problems, refrain from using your HDD. In the worst case, you will destroy the HDD. Please 
take the unit to customer service. 
Recordings saved to a damaged HDD cannot be recovered.
!
An unexpected sound may occur when switching the unit on and off or when the HDD 
automatically goes into SLEEP mode. This is not a problem. The unit is functioning properly.
Moisture and condensation
!
Do not expose your HDD to extreme fluctuations in temperature (e.g. transport from a warmer to a 
colder or a colder to a warmer environment or direct exposure to cold air in air-conditioned rooms). 
Moisture may collect inside the unit and destroy the HDD read and write heads or other parts. Let 
the unit sit for 2 to 3 hours so that it can adjust to room temperature after a change in location and 
any potential moisture can dry. Then you can operate the unit.
