IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

1. READ AND RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS
Read the instruction manual before
operating the equipment. Retain the
manual for future reference.

2. CLEANING
Turn the unit off and unplug from the
power outlet before cleaning. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use
harsh cleansers or aerosol cleaners.

3. ATTACHMENTS
Do not use attachments unless
recommended by manufactured as
they may affect the functionality of the
unit and result in the risk of fire,
electric shock or injury.

4. MOISTURE
Do not use equipment near water or
other liquids.

5. ACCESSORIES
Equipment should be installed in a
safe, stable location. Any wall or shelf
mounting accessory equipment should
be installed using the manufacture’s
instructions. Care should be used
when moving heavy equipment.
Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the
equipment to fall causing serious
injury to persons and objects.

6. VENTILATION
Openings in the equipment, if any, are
provided for ventilation to ensure
reliable operation of the unit and to
protect if from overheating. These
openings must not be blocked or
covered

7. POWER SOURCES
The equipment should be operated
only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you
are not sure of the type of power
supplied at the installation location,
contact your dealer. For equipment
designed to operate from battery
power, refer to the operating
instructions.

8. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
Equipment that is powered through a
polarized plug (a plug with one blade
wider than the other) will fit into the
power outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug.

Alternate Warning: If the equipment is
powered through a three-way
grounding-type plug, a plug having a
third (grounding) pin, the plug will only
fit into a grounding-type power outlet.
This is a safety feature. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the grounding­type plug. If your outlet does not have
the grounding plug receptacle, contact
your local electrician.

9. CORD AND CABLE PROTECTION
Route power cords and cables in a
manner to protect them from damage
by being walked on or pinched by
items places upon or against them.

10. LIGHTNING
For protection of the equipment during
a lightning storm or when it is left
unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug the unit from
the wall outlet. Disconnect any
antennas or cable systems that may
be connected to the equipment. This
will prevent damage to the equipment
due to lightning or power-line surges.

11. OVERLOADING
Do not overload wall outlets and
extension cords as this can result in a
risk of fire or electric shock.

12. SERVICING
Do not attempt to service the video
monitor or equipment yourself as
opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.

When replacement parts are required,
be sure the service technician uses
replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or that have the same
characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result
in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.

MOBILE DIGITAL RECORDER FEATURES

The Mobile Digital Recorder is a true VCR replacement with
advanced features that take it beyond the standard VCR. The
digital recorder features one video and two audio inputs and one
video /audio output. The DVR operates as a simplex recorder
offering up to 640 x 240 resolution recording at 30 frames/sec and
simultaneous dual channel audio recording. The recorder may
also be used in a time-lapse mode for recording frame rate up to 1
frame every 8 seconds.

Multiple trigger inputs are available that can be connected so the
recorder can be used as an event recorder. The triggered events
are also logged along with the video and audio. The unit features
a LED recorder status output as well as an Open Collector trigger
output.

The unit has low power consumption while recording and milliamp
power consumption when powered off. The embedded operating
system allows for instant power up less than 1 seconds. With
selectable video quality and frame rates, the unit automatically
calculates the amount of recording time available.

Conditioned power is provided to supply 12VDC to external
cameras.

A front panel Compact Flash socket is available for easy video
archiving. The Compact Flash allows storage of audio/video AVI
files and JPG files requiring no special GUI to review audio/video
on a PC or the recorder. Integrity of the archived video files is
maintained with authentication software. A simple GUI verifies the
content of the archived files.
