Precautions
1. 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.
2. Do not transfer data in areas where static electricity is easily generated or in
areas subjected to electronic noise. Data can be destroyed.
3. 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.
4. You may not use any copyrighted video or music data copied from a video
camera except for your personal enjoyment.
5. 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.
6. Make sure data transfer has ended or turn off the computer, before you:
a. Connect/disconnect an i.LINK device to/from the computer.
b. Connect/disconnect an i.LINK device to/from another i.LINK device
that is connected to the computer.
Connecting
1. Make sure the connectors are properly aligned and plug the i.LINK
(IEEE1394) cable into the computer.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into the device.
Note the following when you use i.LINK:
a. You may need to install drivers for your i.LINK devices.
b. Not all i.LINK devices have been tested. Therefore, compatibility with
all i.LINK devices cannot be guaranteed.
c. Use S100, S200 or S400 cables no longer than three meters.
d. Some devices might not support standby or automatic off functions.
e. Do not connect or disconnect an i.LINK device while it is using an
application or when the computer is automatically shutting it down to
save power. Data might be destroyed.
