Connecting a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) to the HDD
will protect it from damage by automatically shutting down all
operations prior to switching off the power supply in the event
of a power failure.
Note:
● For details of compatible UPS, consult you nearest JVC
KENWOOD dealer or service center. In some cases, a
UPS used with VR-N1600/VR-N900 series may not work
with this unit.
