Precautions
About power supply
* Be sure to connect the VF-16 to the power supply
specified in the Specifications section of this owner’s
manual. Do not use an AC outlet of any other
voltage.
* Do not connect the VF-16 to the same AC outlet to
which devices that could generate noise (such as a
large motor or dimmer), or the devices that
consume a large amount of power (such as an air
conditioning system or large electric heater) are
connected.
* If you use the VF-16 in an area with a different power
voltage, first consult your dealer or the nearest
Fostex service station. You can use the VF-16 with
a power frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz.
* It is very dangerous to use a power cord that is
frayed or damage. In such a case, stop using the
VF-16 immediately and ask your dealer to repair
the cord.
* To avoid possible electric shock and damage to the
VF-16, avoid contact with water or other liquids,
or do not handle the power plug while your hands
are wet.
* To prevent possible electric shock and damage to
the VF-16, do not remove the main unit cover or
reach the inside the VF-16.
* Do not let water or other liquid, or metal objects
such as pins, accidentally enter the inside of the VF-
16 because this may lead to electric shock or
damage. Should water enter the inside of the VF-
16, remove the power plug from AC outlet, and
consult your dealer or the nearest FOSTEX service
station.
* To prevent damage to the VF-16, be sure to power
on the connected devices first, then turn on the
power to the VF-16. When you remove or connect
the cables to the input/output connectors on the
VF-16, make sure that the channel faders and
volume controls are set to “0.”
* Before turning the power off to the VF-16, first quit
setup mode and make sure that the recorder section
is stopped. Especially, never attempt to turn off the
power to the VF-16 while the hard disk is accessing
data (the HD ACCESS LED is lit or flashing).
Otherwise, not only will you lose recorded data, but
you may damage to the VF-16.
Fostex is not responsible for the data lost during
operation of the VF-16.
* Before you change the location of the VF-16, pack
the unit in the shipping carton or an impact-
resistant case. Make sure that the VF-16 is kept free
from external vibration or impact since the VF-16
is very sensitive to vibration.
* Do not install the VF-16 in locations subject to the
following:
* Extremely high or low temperature, or
significant changes in temperature.
* Excessive humidity or dust.
* Excessive changes in power supply voltage.
* Unstable or significantly vibrating or shaking
surfaces.
* Near a strong magnetic field (such as a TV or
speaker).
* If you move the unit from a place with an excessively
low temperature to a warm place, or if you use the
VF-16 in a room in which the temperature varies
significantly during winter, condensation may
occur on the hard disk or other parts. In such cases,
leave the VF-16 for about an hour in the new
location before you turn on the power.
Note on repair
* The VF-16 does not use any parts that user can
repair easily. Contact your dealer or the nearest
FOSTEX service station to ask about repairs.
* Use the packing carton designed for the VF-16 when
you transport the VF-16 to the dealer for repair or
return. If you have discarded the packing box, try
to pack the VF-16 completely using shock absorbing
materials. Fostex is not responsible for malfunction
or damage due to incomplete packaging or caused
during transport.

recording or video images or audio data for which
