Important Safeguards

Important Safeguards and Warnings before Installation

For Mobile Digital Single Channel Video Recorder (single HDD)

While the DVR is connected to the 12VDC battery of the vehicle, the limited electric current is 3.0 amps with a normal
electric current between 1.5~1.0 amps.

While the DVR is connected to the 24VDC battery of the vehicle, the limited electric current is 1.5 amps with a normal
electric current between 0.7~1.0 amps.

For Mobile Digital Four Channel Video Recorder (single HDD)

While the DVR is connected to the 12VDC battery of the vehicle, the limited electric current is 3.5 amps with a normal
electric current between 1.5~2.0 amps.

While the DVR is connected to the 24VDC battery of the vehicle, the limited electric current is 1.6 amps with a normal
electric current between 0.7~1.0 amps.

During installation, it is important to note that the power supply for the DVR should be directly connected to the
vehicle battery. Utilize a 5 - 10 amp fuse and only qualified power material designed specifically for the vehicle for best
results.

Never connect the unit directly to the power source as a high voltage surge may damage both the DVR and the vehicle.
The EP2026A is equipped with electronic surge protection (up to 470V) to help protect the unit from damage.

It is advised to operate the DVR while the car is running to minimize the power drain on the vehicle battery. Inspect the
vehicle battery prior to installation to ensure maximum performance of your DVR.

Please use 160G Maxtor Hard Disk Drives with 3.5" Hard Disk DVRs
Please use 40G or 60G HITACHI Hard Disk Drives with 2.5" Hard Disk DVRs
To minimize the risk of an electrical fire, it is very important to monitor the power range and electrode,

while the LCD monitors and cameras are both connected to the DVR.
