HDD SAFETY Switch
Important: Keep unit on flat, level surface while in

not flat and level, the PC card HDD operation will be
stopped by the HDD SAFETY Switch to protect it from
damage.
• If the unit receives a strong impact, the PC Card HDD data may
be corrupted. It is advisable to keep this switch ON.
(ON is the default setting.)
• If the HDD SAFETY Detection Switch, located under the unit, is
activated, unit operation will be stopped and a warning message
will appear on the TV screen and unit LCD. In this case, place
unit on a flat, level surface. Normal operation will resume. Any
copy operations resume from precise point where copying was
interrupted.
• If the HDD SAFETY Detection Switch is activated while the unit
is connected to a PC, “SAFETY MODE PUT IT DOWN” will
appear on the unit LCD. Copy operation in progress at this time
will be suspended, and computer errors may also occur.
