Note
yThere may be some variation with actual recording time.
Before Requesting A/S Service
It is required for users to back up important data regularly from
the storage device (to other separate media). Depending on the
situation, it will be necessary to delete the data from the internal
storage device (component). It might be necessary to delete all
the data from the product for A/S Service. So it is required for us-
ers to back up important data by themselves before requesting
A/S Service. For all A/S services, it is assumed that the user has
already backed up their data, so there is no additional back-up
process. Therefore, it is important to note that we will not be held
responsible for any data lost during A/S service.
FCC Compliance Information
THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions;
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
