Names and Functions

1. Detachable remote controller connector

The detachable remote controller is connected here.
You can remove the controller. Connect the optional
extension cable (Model 8551B) to extend the
distance.

8. Power switch

This switch turns the main power to the recorder
on/off.

Before turning the power off to the recorder, first quit
the SETUP mode and make sure that the recorder
section is stopped.
Especially, never attempt to turn off the power to the
recorder while the hard disk is accessing data (the
ACCESS LED is lit or flashing). Otherwise, not only will
you lose recorded data, you may damage to the unit.

Should this power switch be switched On/Off in quick
succession, in some cases it will fail to switch On at all.
This is due to functioning of the internal protection
circuit and is not a breakdown. Consequently, should
such a symptom appear, switch Off power for a
moment, then switch On again after waiting 1 or 2
minutes.

2. Controller mount

The detachable remote controller is mounted on the
front panel.

3. Hard disk access LED (Red)

This LED lights up or blinks when the hard disk is
writing or reading data. (Same as the ACCESS LED
on the detachable remote controller.)

5. Hard disk power LED (Green)

This LED lights up if the hard disk operates correctly
when you turn the power on to the recorder.

6. Removable hard disk cartridge slot

This slot is used to insert a removable hard disk
cartridge. This system allows you to replace the hard
disk easily.

The recorder package contains a caddy (without a
hard disk). Install your hard disk in this caddy.

* Refer to “

Quick operation Guide

” for more information

on how to replace the removable hard disk cartridge.

4. Lock/Unlock key

When you remove or install the hard disk cartridge,
you need to lock/unlock here using the included
key.

7. Blank panel for installing an optional unit

This is used when installing the optional Model 9044
(BAY+CADDY). Another E-IDE hard disk can be
installed by mounting the Model 9044. Because the
Model 9044 must be mounted by the Fostex Service
Station, please inquire at your store of purchase or
the Fostex Service Station.
