Grounding or Polarization - The precautions that should be taken so that the grounding or polarization means of an appliance is not defeated. Power Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance. Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer. Nonuse Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings. Damage requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by qualified service personnel when: A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance; or C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked changed in performance; or E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged. Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel. 10. 11. 12. 6. 13. 14. 15. 7. 8. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer. Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings. 16. 17.

SOFTWARE UPDATE The FD-4 software can be updated through SCSI port. This means that unscrewing and opening up the FD-4 top panel is not necessary to change the EPROMs on the MAIN PCB assy. Please refer to the following explanation for correct software updating procedures. 3-1. Method of Sending Software from Fostex Japan There are two ways of sending the FD-4 updated software. 1. Updated software in a removable media (e.g. floppy disk, zip disk, etc.) to be sent via airmail 2. Updated software as an attachment file to be sent via E-mail 3-2. Required Tools The following tools/equipment are required to update the FD-4 software. 1. 2. 3. 4. IBM PC compatible computer with SCSI board Removable type SCSI drive Cable between the removable type SCSI drive and the SCSI board Cable between the removable type SCSI drive and the FD-4 (D-SUB 25-pin) 3-3. Software Updating Procedures Presuming that the updated software is correctly sent and is copied into your computer. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Connect the removable type SCSI drive to the SCSI board. Insert the diskette to the removable type SCSI drive and format it by the computer (IBM PC format). Copy the updated software file to the removable type SCSI drive (diskette). Reconnect the removable type SCSI drive to the FD-4 SCSI port. In order to boot up the FD-4 system software, insert the diskette formatted by the FD-4. Eject the diskette by pressing the EXIT/NO key while holding down the SHIFT key. Insert the diskette with updated software file. The FD-4 LCD display shows "No Disk", "Initial..", "name of drive (e.g. ZIP 100)" and "FD4MOT" in order and comes to a standstill at the display below. : Blinking DIGITAL SURE ? SYNC OUT AUTO DRIVE SCSI A.PUNCH 8. Pressing the EXECUTE/YES key would update the software. The display shows "Loading!", "Writing!" and "Initial.." in order and automatically returns to the above condition again. This indicates that updating the software is completed. 9. Eject the diskette with updated software file and insert the diskette formatted by the FD-4. 10. Check the software version by the Service Mode. (For details, please refer to the section "4-2. Software/CPU version".) CAUTION: 1. The diskette in which the updated software file is copied must be formatted by IBM PC computer, not by Macintosh. 2. If something wrong happens while updating the software (e.g. A blackout occurred while updating the software.), the FD-4 might not be able to boot up the system software inside the Flash ROM. In this case, please refer to the section "48. Flash ROM" (page 17). 11 FD-4 4. SERVICE MODE There are various optional modes available in the FD-4 Service Mode. Please utilize them when servicing the unit. 4-1. Putting FD-4 into Service Mode The way of putting the FD-4 into Service Mode is as follow. 1) Connect a SCSI device, insert the diskette formatted by the FD-4 and turn it on. 2) Turn on the power of FD-4. 3) While holding down the STOP button and SHIFT key, press the SETUP key. As shown below, by rotating the jog dial C.W. or C.C.W., various optional modes will be displayed in addition to the general SETUP menus. In order to select a certain optional mode, press the EXECUTE/YES key while its menu is displayed. Format? Save PGM? Load PGM? DeviceID? Resolu? N/A Freeblock? Digi.out? C.W. C.W. C.W. Sign.Set?
