WARNING !!!

Ferguson receivers support recording on external hard disk drives (HDDs) and flash
memories (pendrives). In all instances, the correct operation of the recording function
depends on the type of connected memory! You must read the following limitations.

REMEMBER:

1. In order to use an external USB memory, the memory must support the USB

2.0 standard. To ensure stable recording and playback, you must use a
memory with a recording speed of 9.0 MB/s or greater. Slower hard disk
drives and flash memories may not function properly, have problems with
recording (image jitter), or not function at all!!!

2. Only disks with one basic NTFS or FAT32 partition (we recommend using the
NTFS format) will function properly. If you do not have such a format, prepare
the disk on your computer before connecting it to the receiver.

3. Highly fragmented or used memories may also not operate smoothly or
correctly.

4. External hard disk drives should be autonomously powered, since the built-in
USB port is unable to provide sufficient power.

CAUTION

1. Under no circumstances should you disconnect the USB device from the
receiver during recording or playback. Disconnecting during operation may
cause damage to the receiver and/or flash memory, and to the recorded data.

2. Do not touch the working device (and in particular the USB connector) with
wet hands. Risk of electric shock and permanent damage to the receiver!

SAFETY MEASURES

We request that you read the instruction manual and recommendations set forward therein.
Also remember to correctly position the antenna!

In order to avoid an electric shock, never open the housing. Damage to the
warranty seal shall void the warranty.

Disconnect the device from the mains during thunderstorms or when it is not to
be used for an extended period of time. Please remember that the warranty does
not cover damage to the equipment caused by a lightning strike.

Do not expose the device to direct sunlight. Place it away from sources of heat
and humidity. Do not cover ventilation ducts, in order to ensure the correct
circulation of air.

Place the device horizontally on a flat, even and stable surface.

If you move the device from a room that is warm to one that is cold (or vice
versa), wait at min. 1 hour before connecting it to the mains. Otherwise,
problems may arise.

The device should be placed away from vases, bottles, aquariums and other
water containers in order to avoid damage. Do not touch the mains plug with
your bare hands.

Do not place any objects on the housing of the device. This may cause
overheating and reception problems.

Before commencing maintenance or installation work, disconnect the receiver from the mains.
Do not clean the receiver with alcohol or liquids containing ammonia. If necessary, clean it with
a soft, lint-free cloth wetted with a gentle solution of water and soap.

• Do not connect any cables when the mains plug is in the socket.

• Check the condition of your cables. Damaged cables may cause a fire.

• Please disconnect the receiver from the mains before connecting any cables.
