Doing so may cause this unit to fall or break down, and result in injuries. Keep it out of the reach of young children.

䢇 Do not place objects with water (e.g., vases, flower pots,

cups, cosmetic products, and chemicals) on this unit. Water may enter this unit through the ventilation holes and

result in fire or electric shock.

䢇 Do not insert objects into this unit.

Metallic or other flammable objects that enter this unit from the ventilation holes may result in fire or electric shock.

Precautions for Handling Hard Disk Drive

䢇 The distance between the head and the disk is only about

0.02 μ m when the hard disk (henceforth HDD) is reading the data. Vibration or impact that is exerted on the HDD may therefore cause the head to hit against the disk, hence causing the disk surface to dent or the disk to chip. When this occurs, data may not be properly read, or in a worse scenario, continued use in this condition may result in head crash (damage). Careful attention must therefore be paid when handling it.

䢇 Precautions During Installation and Change of Installation

Location Moving of this unit or installation work is strictly prohibited

when the power of this unit is on or immediately after the power is turned off (approximately 1 minute). The HDD continues to move under its own inertia for some time after the power is disconnected, and exertion of vibration or impact during this interval may result in HDD failure. When moving this unit, wrap it using cushioning materials to protect it from external shock.

䢇 Handling Precautions

Handle this unit carefully without exerting vibration or

●

impact on it.

●

Do not remove the power plug during recording or playback, or when the HDD is being accessed.

●

The HDD is a consumable product. Although it may vary according to the environment of use, it is recommended to replace the HDD after using for 18,000 hours in a

surrounding temperature of 25 reference time and not a quaranty for HDD life span. ) For inquiries on maintenance plans and expenses, consult your nearest JVC dealers.

䢇 When installing an external hard disk, we recommend the

use of UPS (uninterruptible power supply) to ensure the stable operation of the system. [Connecting a UPS] (A Page 136)

䢇 Power failure that occurs during formatting or

disconnection of the HDD may affect its subsequent use even when the UPS is connected.

䢇 JVC shall not be held responsible for the compensation of

losses incurred in the event that recording or playback fails due to defects in this unit or its hard disk drive.

䢇 Images recorded on the HDD will be deleted when you

replace it with a new disk. Note also that recorded images may be deleted when you upgrade the software for this unit.

. (However, this is only a

Clock

䢇 Use of a time server is recommended to ensure recording

at an accurate time.

䢇 There may be a daily error of 10 to 20 seconds depending

on the operating environment.

䢇 The clock time may vary significantly when the lithium

battery level used for backup in this unit is running low.

䢇 Connect the time server to the LAN2 network.

Precautions when Moving this Unit

䢇 Remove all connected cords before moving

Turn off the power and remove the power plug before moving this unit. Failure to do so may cause damage on the cords, and result in fire or electric shock.

䢇 Moving of this unit or installation work is strictly prohibited

when the power of this unit is on or immediately after the power is turned off (approximately 1 minute).

The HDD continues to move under its own inertia for some time after the power is disconnected, and exertion of vibration or impact during this interval may result in HDD failure.

䢇 When moving this unit, wrap it using cushioning materials

to protect it from external shock.

䢇 Handle this unit carefully without exerting vibration or

impact on it.

Precautions for Handling Power Cords

䢇 Do not use the supplied cords on devices other than this

unit.

䢇 Do not place heavy objects on the power cord, or place it

under this unit Doing so may cause damage on the cords, and result in

fire or electric shock.

䢇 Do not use cords other than those supplied with this unit

Use only power cords supplied together with this unit. Using cords with different withstanding voltage specifications or damaged cords may result in fire or electric shock.

䢇 Do not remove the power plug during recording or

playback, or when the HDD is being accessed.

Maintenance

䢇 Turn off the power before performing maintenance of this

unit.

䢇 Wipe this unit using a soft cloth. Wiping using thinner or

benzene may cause the surface to melt or fog. When the surface is extremely dirty, wipe using a cloth that is dipped into a neutral detergent diluted with water, followed by wiping with a dry cloth.

Energy Conservation

䢇 Turn off the power of the system for safety reasons and to

save energy if this unit is not to be used for a long time.

䢇 Use of video or audio sound recorded using this unit for

commercial purposes or playing them for public viewing or listening may be an infringement of the copyrights of their respective authors under the copyright law.

䢇 These video (audio) recordings shall only be restricted to

personal uses, and their use without prior consent of the copyright holder is strictly prohibited under the copyright law.

Others

䢇 When there is variation in the supply voltage such as

during lightning, operation of this unit may be disabled to protect the system until the supply voltage stabilizes again.

䢇 Eliminate static electricity before performing work that

requires you to touch the input/output terminals, such as when installing devices.

䢇 Do not touch the rear panel of this unit when it is running

as static electricity may cause it to malfunction.

䢇 When there is a large number of data recorded on this

unit, such as short alarm records, a longer time may be required during search or backup. This is not a malfunction.

䢇 Data recorded from TV broadcasts or video (audio)

recordings shall only be restricted to personal uses, and their use without the prior consent of the copyright holder is strictly prohibited under the copyright law.

䢇 The width of the border lines (black in color) of images on

the split screen varies according to the type of input signals. This is due to the characteristics of the camera’s input signals, and is not a malfunction. The condition may also be improved by adjusting this unit. For details, consult our authorized dealers or JVC service centers.

䢇 This unit comes with a high-precision hard disk device. Be

careful not to exert vibration or impact on this unit when handling it.

䢇 Exertion of vibration or impact particularly when the power

is on or when the hard disk is being accessed may cause this unit to break down.

䢇 When moving this unit, do so about 1 minute after

disconnecting the power supply.

䢇 Do not turn off the power switch at the rear of this unit or

unplug the power cord during recording or playback, or when the hard disk is being accessed. Otherwise, it may break down.

Precautions During Master/Slave Connection of Milestone XProtect Enterprise (XPE) and this Unit

䢇 Connect only one master PC to this slave unit.

Connecting multiple master computers to this slave unit may cause it to malfunction.

Software Installation

䢇 Do not install any software to this device other than the

provided application software. Otherwise, operations may become unstable. Any malfunctions arised in such a case will not be covered under warranty.
