ENGLISH

For better performance

The unit’s internal hard disk is protected by materials to withstand impact or drops better.

However, please understand that no guarantee against damage or data loss is implied.

AJ-PCS060G

The unit houses a hard disk drive (“HDD”).

Take the following precautions during setup and use to protect the HDD and data stored on it

from data loss or interrupted operation.

The HDD is a high-precision device. Operating conditions may pose a risk of partial damage,

and in a worst-case scenario, there is a serious risk that data cannot be read or recorded.

Thus, please do not consider the internal HDD a permanent storage place for data. Use it as a

temporary storage device until you can back up data on other storage media.

• Do not subject the unit to vibration or impact during use. (Otherwise, the HDD may be

damaged.)

• Do not use the unit where vibration occurs or put it on unstable surfaces.

• Do not use it in enclosed areas without air circulation, where operating heat cannot be

dissipated.

• Do not subject it to extreme changes in temperature.

Using the unit where the temperature changes suddenly poses a risk of condensation. Using

the unit with internal condensation may damage the HDD. Ensure a fairly constant room

temperature, where any temperature changes occur at less than 20 °C (68 °F) per hour.

• Do not use the unit in extremely humid places.

• Do not remove the battery pack or unplug the AC adapter when the power is on.

• Before transferring the unit elsewhere, always turn the unit OFF by holding the [POWER] button

for at least 2 seconds and waiting for it to finish shutting down.

Wait until it has stopped moving completely (about 2 minutes), and protect it from vibration and

impact in transit. (After turned OFF, the HDD will continue spinning from inertia for a while.)

• Do not use the unit at altitudes lower than –90 m (–300 feet or lower), or higher than 3,000 m

(10,000 feet or higher) above sea level.

As optional accessories, use a recommended battery pack and AC adapter.

Hard disk

Recorded data

If the HDD is damaged, data recorded on it will be lost. Always keep an extra copy of important

data on separate storage media. See page E-19 for instructions on backing up data.

Erasure of HDD data before disposal or transference of the unit

When you dispose of the unit or transfer it, we urge you to take responsibility for erasing any

important data on the HDD. This will avoid any problems from leaked information.

Dispose of the HDD after bringing it near a strong magnetic field and breaking it with a

hammer or other means to make it unreadable.

Note that Panasonic cannot be liable for data lost from HDD failure or other problems, or

for other direct or indirect loss.

E-9

For better performance (continued)

Never clean the unit with solvents such as benzene, thinner, or alcohol

• Before cleaning, remove the battery pack or unplug the AC adapter.

• Cleaning the unit with solvents may damage the outer case or cause the paint to peel.

• Use a clean, soft dry cloth to wipe away dust or dirt. If the unit becomes quite dirty, wipe it with

a cloth dampened in diluted neutral detergent after wringing the cloth well. Use a dry cloth to

wipe it dry.

• If you use a chemically treated dust cloth, follow the precautions for use.

Use the optional AC adapter (AG-B15).

Read the user’s manuals of all accessories carefully

before use.

Note:

When using an AC adapter, attach the included ferrite core

near the base of the battery-type connector on the DC cable

connected to the unit. Be sure to wind the cable around the

ferrite core twice, as shown, at time of attachment.

If you do not use the ferrite core, other devices may be

affected by the unit.

AC adapter

Cleaning

The unit’s internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a high-performance part that is subject to

maintenance.

To keep the unit in optimal condition, we recommend that you inspect it regularly and bring it to

the place of purchase for periodic maintenance.

Ask your dealer for further details about periodic maintenance.

Request periodic maintenance under this guideline. See page E-22 for instructions on checking

the operating time.

Tips:

• In some cases, the content of the HDD is cleared during maintenance, so any data will be lost.

Before maintenance, always back up needed data on separate storage media.

Please understand that you will not be compensated for lost data.

• You will not be compensated for data stored on the HDD in the case of HDD failure. Lost data cannot be

recovered.

The HDD is for temporary storage of data, and we recommend backing up needed data promptly.

Every 2,000 hours of use

power is left by pressing the [ ] button and checking the [REMAIN] indicator. See Battery

level , below.

Copy operations are not allowed when a low-voltage error occurs (when the [ERROR] LED

lights in red and [E2] in [REMAIN] flashes in red). Use the battery pack only if [E1] in [REMAIN]

is lit in green.

Once the level reaches 0 (zero), an error is displayed as described in Battery level and the

unit goes OFF immediately. Switch to another optional battery pack that is fully charged or use

an optional AC adapter.

With the unit ON, press the button

The display will correspond to Battery level , below.

Note:

• Once the data on a P2 card has been copied to the HDD, it cannot be copied to the HDD again. If this is

the case, one of the following operations will be performed depending on the [VERIFY] switch setting.

[VERIFY] switch is OFF: Even when step 3 is taken, 100% is immediately displayed as the copying

progress status.

[VERIFY] switch is ON: When step 3 has been taken, the data is not copied, 40-59% is displayed as

the copying progress status, and the verification is conducted.

• Even after data on a P2 card has been edited, added or deleted by a computer or other device, it may be

recognized as the same data. If this is the case, one of the following operations will be performed

depending on the [VERIFY] switch setting.

[VERIFY] switch is OFF: Even when step 3 is taken, 100% is immediately displayed as the copying

progress status.

[VERIFY] switch is ON: When step 3 has been taken, the data is not copied, 40-59% is displayed as

the copying progress status, the verification is conducted, the data is

recognized as different, and operation ends with the Verify NG error

. (See

page E-27)

• If the unit heats up during copying, it will automatically copy at a slower rate. The [P2C] and [HDD] LEDs

also flash slowly at this time.

•

If copying is not completed normally (if the unit is turned OFF or the P2 card is pulled out during copying), the HDD

capacity (number of cards that can be copied) is decreased by as many P2 cards that could not be copied.

• All [COPY STATUS] LEDs flash in green if a blank P2 card is inserted and step 3 above is finished.

• In the case of P2 cards that include a Bad clip

3

, be sure to first restore any lost data using a P2 camera-

recorder or other device before copying using this unit. When a defective clip is copied without correcting

its defects, it may not be possible to repair the copied defective clip.

: This function conducts the verify whether the data on P2 cards and the data recorded on the internal

HDD are the same.

: When the Verify NG error has occurred, “ERROR” appears in the status column of the HDD partition

information section (see page E-21). If this is the case, the data on the P2 card concerned can be

copied again, but the partition with the “ERROR” status will remain unchanged.

: Improperly recorded clip due to accidental removal of the P2 card or sudden power loss during

recording.
