Handling of the internal drive
• When this device is moved to a location where the
temperature is radically different, water droplets may
condense on the internal drive. If the device is used in
this condition, it may malfunction, so please allow
several hours to pass before operating the device.
• Do not turn the power on and off repeatedly. This may
damage the NAUTILUS.
• This device begins to access the internal drive
immediately after the power is turned on.
Never turn off the power while the internal drive is being
accessed. Doing so can cause data on the drive to be lost,
so that the next time the NAUTILUS is turned on, it may
fail to start up normally.
• After turning the NAUTILUS off, wait about 10 seconds
before turning it on again.
