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 system’s battery is depleted, replace it with the same or equivalent type of battery specified by the manufac-
turer. Depleted batteries should be discarded according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
This may cause an explosion.
If the system’s 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 ‘damaged’ while playing a recording stored inside the system’s HDD, it must be replaced
with a new one. Ask for an engineer’s assistance for HDD replacement from your dealer.
LG Electronics is not responsible for deleted data caused by user mishandling.

Avoid positioning the product in any place where the unit may come into contact with moisture, dust, or soot.
Avoid placing in direct sunlight or near heating appliances.
Keep the product away from electric sparks or magnetic substances.
Avoid temperature extremes (recommended operating temperature is between 0°C - 40°C).
Do not place any conductive material through the ventilation grills.
Keep the system turned off before installation.
Ensure enough space is left for cable connections.
Place the system on a solid surface with sufficient air ventilation. Avoid any surface that vibrates.
Placing the system near electronic devices such as a radio or a TV may cause the product to breakdown.
Do not disassemble the product without seeking assistance from LG Electronics.
Do not place any heavy object on the system.
Prevent any substances from being inserted into the system.
This may cause system breakdown.
Install the system in a place with sufficient air ventilation.
Keep at least 15cm distance between the back of the system and the wall, and at least 5cm distance between the
side of the system and the wall.
Do not install the system in a place with high magnetic, electric wave, or wireless devices such as a radio or a TV.
Do not install the system in a place with magnetic objects, electric frequencies, or vibration.
Do not place any heavy object on the system.
This may cause system breakdown.
Install the system on a stable, level surface.
The system may not operate properly.
Install the system in a place with appropriate moisture and temperature levels.
Avoid installing the system in a place with high (over 40°C) or low (under 0°C) temperature.
The system can be damaged from a strong impact or vibration. Avoid throwing objects within the vicinity of the sys-
tem.
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 interfer-
ence.
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.
This may cause fire or electric shock.
In order to maintain stable system performance, have your system checked regularly by the service center.
LG Electronics is not held responsible for system breakdown caused by user mishandling.
There is a risk of explosion if a battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the
instructions.

menu should be set to make the remote control and moni-
toring work.
LAN connection
Connect the LAN port to an available 10/100 base-T port
with a straight ethernet cable (not supplied). The NET indi-
cator on the front panel will be lit.
Automatic network conguration
The DVR can automatically obtain and configure the net-
work interface via DHCP.
Manually congure network
The DVR may be manually configured by assigning an IP
address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS.

HDD INSTALLATION
Note for 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 record-
ings 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 there’s 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 fail-
ure 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 dam-
age 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.
