Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
Installation
This unit has a built-in HDD, which is a device
to read minute magnetic changes. The inside of
the device is precision components, requiring
you to notice the following when installing the
unit:
Install the unit at a place where the following
conditions are satisfied:
• Dry and neither too hot nor too cold—
between 5°C (41°F) and 35°C (95°F).
If the temperature is too low, the HDD will
not work. Wait until the temperature in the
car becomes normal before operating the
unit.
• At an altitude between –300 m (–980 ft) below
sea level and +3000 m (9800 ft) above sea
level.
• With adequate ventilation to prevent internal
heat buildup in the unit.
Before using HDD
While the unit is turned on, the hard disk
is constantly rotating at a high speed. This
requires you to notice the following:
• DO NOT impart vibration or shock.
• DO NOT allow anything having strong
magnetism or emitting strong electromagnetic
waves (cellular phones, etc.) near the unit.
• DO NOT disconnect the power cords from
the car battery when the unit is turned on.
Failure in following the above cautions may
damage the HDD (the stored data will be lost
and be never restored).
When the temperature is low, the HDD may
take some time to start up, or may reboot
automatically.
It should be noted that it may be unlawful to
re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs
without the consent of the owner of copyright
in the sound or video recording, broadcast or
cable programme and in any literary, dramatic,
musical, or artistic work embodied therein.
