Important Safeguards

In addition to the careful attention devoted to quality standards in the manufacture process of your product, safety is a major factor in the design of every instrument. However, safety is your responsibility too. This sheet lists important information that will help to ensure your enjoyment and proper use of the product and accessory equipment. Please read them carefully before operating and using your product.

General Precautions

1. All warnings and instructions in this manual should be followed.

2. Remove the plug from the outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid aerosol detergents. Use a water-dampened cloth for cleaning.

3. Do not use this product in humid or wet places.

4. Keep enough space around the product for ventilation. Slots and openings in the storage cabinet should not be blocked.

5. It is highly recommended to connect the product to a surge protector to protect from damage caused by electrical surges. It is also recommended to connect the product to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), which has an internal battery that will keep the product running in the event of a power outage.

Installation

1. Read and Follow Instructions - All the safety and

operating instructions should be read before the product is operated. Follow all operating instructions.

2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating

instructions should be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings - Comply with all warnings on the

product and in the operating instructions.

4. Polarization - Do not defeat the safety

purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug.

A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other.

A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong.

The wide blade or the third prong are

rovided for your safety.

If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

5. Power Sources - This product 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 to your location, consult your video dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets or

extension cords as this can result in the risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Periodically examine the cord, and if its appearance indicates damage or deteriorated insulation, have it replaced by your service technician.

7. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should

be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.

Surge Protectors - It is highly recommended that the

8. product be connected to a surge protector. Doing so will protect the product from damage caused by power surges. Surge protectors should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark.

9. Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) - Because this product is designed for continuous,  24/7 operation, it is recommended that you connect the product to an uninterruptible power supply. An uninterruptible power supply has an internal battery that will keep the product running in the event of a power outage. Uninterruptible power supplies should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark.

Caution: Maintain electrical safety. Power line

operated equipment or accessories connected to this product should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark on the accessory itself and should not be modi fied so as to defeat the safety features. This will help avoid any potential hazard from electrical shock or fire. If in doubt, contact qualified service personnel.

Installation (Continued)

10. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the case are

provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided and the product manufacturer’s instructions have been followed.

11. Attachments - Do not use attachments unless

recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause a hazard.

12. Water and Moisture - Do not use this product near

water — for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool and the like.

13. Heat - The product should be situated away from heat

sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

14. Accessories - Do not place this

product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, or table. The product may fall, causing serious damage to the product. Use this product only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

15. Camera Extension Cables – Check the rating of

your extension cable(s) to verify compliance with your local authority regulations prior to installation.

Mounting - The cameras provided with this system

16. should be mounted only as instructed in this guide or the instructions that came with your cameras, using the provided mounting brackets.

17. Camera Installation- Cameras are not intended for submersion in water. Not all cameras can be installed outdoors. Check your camera environmental rating to confirm if they can be installed outdoors. When installing cameras outdoors, installation in a sheltered area is required.

Service

1. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product

yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

2. Conditions Requiring Service - Unplug this product

from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

A. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.

B. If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the p

roduct.

C. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

D. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

E. If the product does not operate normally by f

ollowing the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation.

F. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance. This indicates a need for service.

7. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are

required, have the service technician verify that the replacements used have the same safety characteristics as the original parts. Use of replacements specified by the product manufacturer can prevent fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

8. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or

repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks recommended by the manufacturer to determine that the product is in safe operating condition.

Use

1. Cleaning - Unplug the product from the wall outlet

before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

2. Product and Cart Combination - When product is

installed on a cart, product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.

3. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any

kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or “short-out” parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

4. Lightning - For added protection of this product

during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power line surges.
