Atomos NinjaV User Manual

Contents Safety Instructions
User Manual Conventions
The Ninja V is designed to a high standard but there are some things you
should be aware of to prolong the life of the unit and for your own safety.
Using the Ninja V safely
Although the Ninja V is very lightweight compared to all the devices it
replaces, it is still a solid object that could cause injury if misused.
• Always make sure that the Ninja V is mounted securely and is unable
to fall onto anyone nearby. This is especially important when there are
children present who might be tempted to pull on cables.
• Always ensure that cables that run to the Ninja V are clearly visible and
do not present a trip hazard.
• Do not place on uneven or unstable surfaces.
• Do not insert anything but a Ninja V Master Caddy II or AtomX SSDmini
in the drive slot on the rear of the Ninja V.
• Do not touch the Ninja V screen with sharp, metallic or abrasive objects.
• Donotexposetostrongelectricalormagneticelds.
• Do not expose to liquids, rain or moisture.
• Do not dispose of the Ninja V in municipal waste and do not incinerate it,
always follow local regulations for safe disposal.
Care of disk drives
Spinning disks and SSDs are very sensitive to damage from static electricity.
Please observe all the usual electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions
when handling them.
Please see the section on mechanical shock and vibration later in this
manual for information about how to handle and care for your disk drives.
HDMI cables
Please remember that almost all HDMI cables do not use locking
connectors and will simply pull out if they are jerked or tripped over. Please
ensureyourcablesmakeasecureconnectionandavoidexingthem
excessively to maintain reliability.
To keep things simple but clear, we’ve only adopted two conventions
