NOTE: If the T2500 suddenly loses power during recording or accessing the internal recording storage
(during a mission or during le removal via PC connection), it is possible that the internal memory can
become corrupted. Care has been taken to make the le storage on the T2500 as reliable as possible;
however as with all PC type storage media if power is lost during critical write processes data can be
corrupted. In extreme cases of corruption data may be permanently lost. Thus the unit should always
be shut down using the power button (not by removing or disconnecting the batteries and it is important
to always use fresh batteries at the start of a mission and whenever using a PC to remove recorded
audio les.
