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.
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 likeli-
hood that data will be damaged. Connect all devices to the hub before you turn
on the computer's power.
