Safety warnings and Cautions

The following are warnings and cautions for the safety of the users and for the prevention of any property damage. Please read the following carefully.

WARNING

•Turn off the system before installation. Do not plug in several electric devices to the same outlet.

-This may cause heating, fire, or electric shock.

•Do not place any liquid container on the system, such as water, coffee, or other beverage.

-If liquid is poured onto the system, it can cause a system breakdown or fire.

•Prevent the power cable from being severely bent or having pressure exerted on it by a heavy object.

-This may cause fire.

•Clean the dust around the system on a regular basis. When cleaning the system, always use a dry cloth. Do not use a wet cloth or other organic solvents.

-This may damage the surface of the system and can cause a system breakdown or electric shock.

•Avoid any place with moisture, dust, or soot.

-This can cause fire or electric shock.

•When pulling the power cable from the plug, do so gently. Do not touch the plug with wet hands and avoid using the plug if the holes in the outlet are too loose.

-This may cause fire or electric shock.

•Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the system on your own. It is extremely dangerous due to the high voltage running through the system.

-This may cause fire, electric shock, or serious injury.

•Check for any danger signs such as a moist floor, a loosened or damaged power cable, or an unstable surface. If you encounter any problems, ask your dealer for assistance.

-This may cause fire or electric shock.

•Keep a distance of at least 15cm between the back of the system and the wall for the cables connected to the system otherwise, they may be bent, damaged, or cut.

-This may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

•Install the system in a cool place without direct sunlight and always maintain room temperature. Avoid candlelight and heat generating devices such as heaters. Keep the system away from places where many people pass.

-This may cause fire.

•Install the system on a plain surface with sufficient air ventilation. Do not place the system on an elevated surface.

-This may cause system breakdown or serious injury.

•The power outlet must be placed on the ground, and the voltage range must be within 10% of the voltage rate. Do not use the same outlet with a hair dryer, iron, refrigerator, or any heating appliances.

-This may cause fire, over heating or electric shock.

•When the systemʼs battery is depleted, replace it with the same or equivalent type of battery specified by the manufacturer. Depleted batteries

should be discarded according to the manufacturerʼs instructions.

-This may cause an explosion.

•If the systemʼs HDD exceeds its life span, you may not be able to recover any data stored inside the HDD. If the video on the system screen appears ʻdamagedʼ while playing a record-

ing stored inside the systemʼs HDD, it must be replaced with a new one. Ask for an engineerʼs assistance for HDD replacement from your dealer.

-LG Electronics is not responsible for deleted data caused by user mishandling.

•The system can be damaged from a strong impact or vibration. Avoid throwing objects within the vicinity of the system.

•Avoid direct sunlight or any heating appliances.

-Recommended operating temperature is over 0°C (32°F).

•Ventilate the air inside the system operation room, and tighten the system cover firmly.

-System breakdown may be caused by an inappropriate environment.

It is recommended to use AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator) for a stable power supply.

It is recommended to coil the core-ferrite around the connector of the system to avoid electromagnetic interference.

•The outlet must be placed on the ground.

•If there is strange sound or smell, unplug the power cable immediately and contact the service center.

Concerning the Internal Hard

Disk Drive

The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a fragile piece of equipment. Please follow the guidelines below when using the DVR to protect against possible HDD failure.

We recommend that you back up your important recordings onto an external backup device in order to prevent accidental loss.

Make sure that the power is turned OFF when attaching or removing the HDD.

•Do not move the DVR while the power is on.

•Do not use the DVR in excessively hot or humid places, or in places that may be subject to sudden changes in temperature. Sudden changes in temperature can cause condensation to form inside the DVR. This can be a cause of HDD failure.

•While the DVR is switched on, do not unplug from the wall socket or switch the electricity off from the breaker switch.

•If thereʼs a power failure while the DVR is on there is a chance that some data on the HDD will be lost.

•Do not drop the HDD. Also do not put the metallic object such as coins or screwdrivers into the HDD tray.

•When a power failure occurs during recording, avoid adding, replacing or transporting the HDD as the recorded data may be erased. In this case, turn the power back on to boot up the unit normally with the HDD that was being used at the time of the power failure attached. Then add, replace, or transport the HDD.

•The HDD is very delicate. Handle the HDD with care and follow the precautions below because even a small shock may damage the internal components of the HDD.

-Do not place the HDD on a desk or a table directly. Put a thick cushion under the HDD because even a small shock may damage the internal components of the HDD.

-Do not use an electric screwdriver. Vibrations and shocks caused by an electric screwdriver may damage the internal components of the HDD.

-When replacing the HDD, do not knock the HDD with other components such as another HDD and the HDD tray.

-Do not knock the HDD with tools such as a driver when replacing the HDD.

•Protect the hard disk drives from static electricity.
