5. Notes on rechargeable batteries
05 SAFETY INSTRUCTION NOTES ON RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
06
A "Li-Poly" rechargeable battery is integrated in the NVSPRO (lithium-polymer).
This rechargeable battery does not have the so-called "memory effect", i.e.,
the rechargeable battery can be charged whenever you want. Furthermore,
it has a higher energy content than conventional NiCd and NiMH rechargeable
batteries. Note these important instructions when handling the Li-Poly
rechargeable battery.
The rechargeable battery can be recharged 400 times.
If the battery operation time gets shorter, it may be time to replace the battery.
Consult your authorized NEXTODI dealer to replace the internal battery.
● The case of the hard disk must not get damp or wet.
Protect the device from humidity or water, from sun, excessive heat
(>45°C) or cold (<0 ºC), dust and dirt.
● When the product is brought from a cold into a warm room
condensation may form. This could damage the product. Always let
the product get to room temperature before use or before
connecting the AC power adapter unit. This can sometimes take
several hours.
● Do not use in tropical climate conditions
● The AC power adapter unit complies with safety class II.
As a voltage source only a proper power socket of the public power
supply system may be used. Note the input voltage/frequency
imprinted on the AC Adapter. It must correspond to the voltage/
frequency of the power outlet. The AC power adapter is equipped
with an input voltage range of 100 ~ 240V, 50/60Hz. Adapters may
be necessary for use in countries other than the US.
● The product is not a toy and should be kept out of reach of children!
● Do not place liquid near the product. Liquid could get inside
the housing and cause fire or electric shock. In case of fire, damage
or short circuit, de-energize the respective socket (e.g. turn off
circuit breaker) and only then pull the AC power adapter unit
from the socket. Do not attempt to use the product!
Take it to your dealer for repair immediately.
● Never touch the AC power adapter unit when your hands are
damp or wet.
● In industrial facilities, safety regulations for electrical equipment
and facilities must be observed. If the product is used at schools,
training facilities, or do-it-yourself/hobby shops it should not be
handled unless supervised by trained, responsible personnel.
● Do not drop the NVSPRO device
Caution! The product must not get damp or wet.
This product is not a toy. It contains fragile and swallowable glass
parts, small parts and a rechargeable battery.
Any use other than the one described above may damage the product .
Read these operating instructions thoroughly and carefully,
they contain important information for installation, operation and
handling. Take note of all safety instructions.
Please Note:
● Never damage the rechargeable battery, do not remove it from
the NVSPRO. Consult the chapter on "Disposal". Damaging
the wrapping of the rechargeable battery might cause explosion
or fire.
● Never short circuit the contacts of the rechargeable battery.
Never touch connections or electric components inside
the NVSPRO with metal objects.
● Charge the rechargeable battery regularly, even if you do not use
the product. The NVSPRO needs "current" (a small quantity)
at all times. Due to the Li-Poly rechargeable battery technology,
it is not necessary to discharge the battery before recharging.
Recharge the battery completely, about once a month. The device
will be ready for use at all times.

6. Device Diagram
Reference
● Charging takes place only if the NVSPRO is turned off.
● Charging via USB without the AC power adapter unit included in the delivery
is possible. A high power USB connection is needed, i.e. a USB connection
with its own power supply (the USB port of a computer or a USB hub with
power unit).
● If the NVSPRO is operated with a notebook, then you must always use
the AC power adapter unit to charge the NVSPRO since notebooks may not
deliver the necessary amount of current via USB.
● The NVSPRO works about two hours with fully charged internal battery.
● When connected to a computer using Firewire or USB, the NVSPRO draws
power from the computer, not the internal battery.
● If an NVSPRO unit is discharged completely, the performance of the battery
may be degraded. It is recommended to re-charge the battery of an NVSPRO
unit before the battery gauge goes to an empty level.
(See the Chapter 8 for more information on the battery gauge.)

9. Formatting Hard Drive
The hard disk in the NVSPRO should already be formatted in the"FAT32" file system.
Only one (or the first) partition can be used.
Do not attempt to format with the computer. Use only the format function on
the NVSPRO. This allows it to be read by either Windows or Mac operating systems.
Please Note:
If you are installing a 60Gbyte hard disk and creating and formatting
a partition via the operating system "Windows XP" , the file system
"NTFS" will be installed. Via USB2.0, the hard disk in the NVSPRO
can be used like a conventional external hard disk. If the NVSPRO
is disconnected from the computer and you want to copy the data
from a memory card onto the hard disk, this is not possible.
The NVSPRO can work with one partition in the file format "FAT32"
only. Therefore, NVSPRO offers its own possibility of formatting
the hard disk in the file system "FAT32".
To Format a New Hard Disk
The NVSPRO must not be connected with the computer via USB or eSATA.
Remove any memory card and USB cards.

Back up data is stored in "NVSPRO" folder. This folder is
created automatically. The NVSPRO generates new
folder for each memory card copy. The name of the
folder is determined by the shooting date.
For example, 20081112.000 means the first footage
downloaded November 12, 2008. (If you copy multiple
items on a single day, the last three digits will be
changed to indicate the download sequence – “000,
001,002, 003, etc.) The date code comes from the
video cameras. If the date setting of video camera is
incorrect, the folder name of NVSPRO will also be
incorrect.

the NVSPRO does not need AC power connected.
● The ‘Verify’ function does not work during ‘Multi-Copy’ mode.
The memory card is copied regardless of the contents of memory.
If the drive capacity is smaller than 100GB,
the NVSPRO shows “USB ERROR” and power
off automatically. Use a larger hard drive
for the external hard drive.
If a correct external hard drive connected,
the NVSPRO shows the info on that drive.
