Model EX12
DVD-RAM drive unit with built-in HDD
Owner’s Manual
Introduction
Thank you very much for purchasing the Fostex Model EX12.
The EX12 is a DVD-RAM drive unit dedicated to the PD-6. It in-
corporates a 12-cm DVD-RAM drive with a 2.5-inch HDD.
By connecting the EX12 to your PD-6, you can use two more drives
dedicated to the PD-6, in addition to the PD-6 internal DVD-RAM
drive.
Before using the EX12, read this manual carefully. We would be
very happy if the unit is helpful to you.
<Note>
To use the EX12, the PD-6 software version must be V2.00 or higher.
If the software version of your PD-6 is lower than V2.00, ask your
local Fostex dealer or sale office for upgrade.
The built-in HDD is formatted in the "Normal" mode when shipped.
This means, the HDD is divided into eight partitions, each of which
reserves approximately 4.7 GB capacity.
For details about how to use the EX12 with the PD-6, see "V2.0 supple-
ment" supplied with the PD-6.

Precautions
• Make sure that the voltage of your AC power outlet matches the voltage
requirements printed on the unit.
• When disconnecting the AC cable, make sure that the unit [POWER] switch is
set to "OFF".
Disconnecting the AC cable while the power is "ON" may damage data
because the unit always transfers data between the current card and memory.
• While the unit is accessing the DVD-RAM disk or internal HDD (for example,
during recording), never turn off the power. Make sure that the unit
completely stops accessing the disk before you turn off the power.
Otherwise, recorded data may be lost, as well as the DVD-RAM disk and
internal HDD may be damaged.
Note that Fostex assumes no responsibility on data loss or whatsoever due to use of
the unit.
• Fostex is not responsible for any "direct damage" or "indirect damage" caused
by using the unit.
• Do not let water or other liquid, or metal objects such as pins, accidentally
enter the inside of the unit (especially inside of the card slots) because this
may lead to electric shock or damage. Should water enter the inside of the
unit, turn off the power, unplug the AC cable, and consult your dealer or the
nearest FOSTEX service station.
• Do not drop the unit or give it a strong shock. The internal circuits may be
damaged. Although the unit is designed to operate outside, handle the unit
with great care because it is a precision machine.
• To prevent possible electric shock and damage to the unit, do not remove the
cover or reach the inside of the unit.
• When using the supplied carrying belt, to prevent the unit from dropping
accidentally, make sure that it is attached to the unit correctly.
Precautions on installation
• Do not install the unit in the following conditions.
• in a extremely hot or cold place
• in a moist place
• in a shaky or unstable place
• in a dusty place
• in a strong magnetic field or near a device which generates a magnetic field
• in the direct sunshine
• in the direct rain or water
• Notes on moisture condensation
When you bring the unit from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may
condense on the drive, display, panels, etc. In such a case, leave the unit for a
while until it warms up and evaporates any moisture.

How to stack the PD-6 and EX12 together
1) Remove the blank panel at the bottom of the
PD-6.
2) Replace the two screws for fixing the rubber
feet at the bottom of the PD-6 with the screws
supplied with the EX12.
<Note>:
Never forget to replace the screws
for fixing the rubber feet. Otherwise, the PD-
6 may malfunction or generate a noise be-
cause of imperfect grounding.
3) Remove the two screws for fixing the cover at
the top of the PD-6, and open the cover.
<Note>:
The removed screws are used later
for fixing the cushion. Be sure not to lose
them.
4) Fix the supplied cushion using the fixing screws
which are removed in the previous step.
6) Put the PD-6 on the EX12 and plug the
connector of the cable to the PD-6, as shown
below. Make sure to plug the connector in the
correct direction.
5) Pull out the connection cable from inside the
EX12.

9) Fasten the fixing screw of each fastening.
Confirm both the left and right fastenings are
fixed tightly.
7) After connecting the cable, stack the PD-6 on
the EX12.
<Note>:
When stacking the PD-6 on the EX12,
make sure to perfectly fit the dent of PD-6
rubber feet to the metallic projections of each
EX12. Otherwise, the PD-6 may malfunction
or generate a noise because of imperfect
grounding.
8) Use the fastenings on both the left and right
sides of the EX12 to fastening the PD-6.
After hanging the projection on the PD-6, lift
up the fixing angle until it is locked.
Now you complete stacking the EX12 and PD-6
together.
The next step is to connect the power cords.
See the next page.
Pull up the metallic projection of each fasten-
ing and hang it on the PD-6.(The following pic-
tures show the example of the left side.)
Fasten the fixing screw of each fastening so that
the fastening may not be off. Be careful not to
apply excessive force.
