How should the recorder be disconnected from a Windows computer?
Any USB device should be disconnected from a Windows computer using the [Safely Remove Hardware] button located in the taskbar in the lower right corner of the Desktop screen. The button’s icon features a green arrow pointing to the lower left over a device. Any open files should be closed before starting the disconnect process. Simply removing the device from the USB port without using the recommended disconnect procedure can result in corrupted files or firmware. Double-clicking on the [Safely Remove Hardware] icon opens a dialog box to shut down the USB connection so the device can be safely disconnected. Clicking on the [Stop] button launches another dialog box to confirm the devices that are to be stopped. Clicking the [OK] button closes the USB connection. The Desktop screen will display a message balloon above the taskbar indicating that it is safe to disconnect the hardware.
