Precautions
■
Make a back-up of your data before transferring it to the computer.
There is a possibility that the original data will be damaged. There is a
particular risk that some frames will be deleted in the case of digital
video transfer. TOSHIBA assumes no liability for such loss of data.
■
Do not transfer data in areas where static electricity is easily generated
or in areas subjected to electronic noise. Data can be destroyed.
■
If you are transferring data through an IEEE1394 hub, do not connect or
disconnect other devices from the hub during data transfer. There is a
likelihood that data will be damaged. Connect all devices to the hub
before you turn on the computer’s power.
■
You may not use any copyrighted video or music data copied from a
video camera except for your personal enjoyment.
■
If you connect/disconnect an i.LINK device to/from another i.LINK
device that is currently exchanging data with the computer, data frames
might be dropped.
■
Make sure data transfer has ended or turn off the computer, before you:
■
Connect/disconnect an i.LINK device to/from the computer.
■
Connect/disconnect an i.LINK device to/from another i.LINK device
that is connected to the computer.
i.LINK uses a four-pin connector, which does not carry any electric current.
External devices will need their own power supply to operate.
