Installation location and handling

• Before you fi rst use this unit, supply power to it for at least 48 hours to charge the built-in backup battery so that the
built-in power compensator circuit can be activated. When the battery isn't charged suffi ciently, the built-in clock may
go wrong or the unit may not able to recover in case of a power failure.

• Don't plug this unit and high current devices (such as copier and air conditioning) into the same wall socket.

• Place this unit on a level and stable surface. When it is used on an unstable surface, a failure may be caused.

• Don't remove the outer covering of this unit.

• Don't place this unit close to other devices. They may interfere with each other, disturbing video and audio.

• Don't place this unit on a heat source. In addition, don't place this unit near a heat source because this unit has
ventilation openings in its sides and bottom. Otherwise the inside temperature may rise, causing a failure.

• When this unit is placed on or under the monitor, a failure may be caused, such as image disturbance and DVD/CD
disc ejection failure.

• Don't place a strong magnetic object near this unit. It may affect the images adversely and cause loss of recorded
data.

• Don't expose this unit to volatile substances such as insecticide or don't leave this unit in contact with rubber or plastic
products for a long time. Otherwise the surface of the product may deteriorate or the coating may come off.

• When this unit is placed directly on the waxed fl oor, the adhesion may increase between the fl oor and the non-slip
rubber pads on the bottom of the product, causing the fl oor coating to come off or be colored.

• The HDD and cooling fans are motor-driven parts. To ensure stable recording, it is recommended to replace them
every 30,000 hours of use as a guide assuming that the ambient operating temperature is 25°C. When replacing HDD,
also replace the vibration-proof rubbers at the screwed areas. (Note that this period is just for a guide of replacement
interval and isn't intended to guarantee the lifetime of the parts. They may be broken earlier because of shocks applied
to the product and ambient operating temperature.)

• Be sure to use this unit within the allowable ambient temperature range (5° to 40°C) and humidity range (80% or less).
When you use the unit out of this temperature range, the internal parts may be adversely affected or a malfunction may
occur. In addition, when the temperature rises high, the characteristics of the HDD may deteriorate or its lifetime may
be shortened. When you use the unit in a low temperature environment, supply it with power for at least 10 minutes
before use.

• Don't put your hand into the tray ejection opening. Your hand may be caught in by the tray, causing injury. If your hand
should be caught in, don't try to pull it out forcefully. Turn the power off fi rst, unplug the power cord, and contact your
Mitsubishi dealer.

• Clean the product regularly to prevent the ventilation openings from being covered by dust.

Precautions for rack-mounting

• When mounting this unit in a rack, ensure that the temperature inside the rack doesn't rise to 40°C or higher. When
installing a rack, you are recommended to install fans to keep the temperature inside the rack 30°C or lower.

• Don't install a device that becomes hot under this unit. Otherwise the inside temperature may rise, causing a failure.

• Don't give a shock to all HDD devices in the rack.

• Before taking this unit in or out of the rack, be sure to turn off HDD devices being energized in the rack.

• Don't place this unit near a device that generates vibrations.

Caution and care (continued)

Changing installation location

• When moving this unit, be sure to turn off the MAIN switch, make sure that the unit is completely stopped, and then
unplug the power cord. When this unit is exposed to excessive shock while being energized, the internal electronic
parts or HDD may be damaged. Be careful especially while the power indicator or access indicator is blinking.

• Don't move this unit for at least one minute after you turn off the power. Even after the power is turned off, the disc
in the HDD keeps rotating by inertia for a while and the head is in an unstable state. This unit in such state is more
vulnerable to vibrations and shocks than while being energized. Be careful not to give this unit even a slight shock for
at least one minute after turning off the power. Wait at least one minute for the disc to stop, and then you can move the
product.

• When moving this unit, cover it with shock absorbers to prevent shocks to the inside.

• When placing this unit on a fl oor, lay it gently on a soft mat or cloth.

Maintenance

• Gently wipe dirt off the cabinet with a soft cloth.

• When dirt persists, clean it off using a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral detergent and wrung well and then wipe
dry.

• When using a chemical cleaning cloth, follow its instructions.

• Don't use solvent such as benzene and thinner. Otherwise the surface of the product may deteriorate or the coating
may come off.

Notes for constructing a surveillance system using this unit

• This unit can be controlled by external devices via the external connector, RS-232C connector, or LAN connector. In
addition, external devices can be controlled via the external connector, RS422/485 connector, or RS-232C connector.
These functions allow this unit to fl exibly support an advanced security system. However, depending on the settings
of this unit or connection or combination with external devices, this unit or externally connected devices may operate
wrongly, causing adverse effects on the entire surveillance system.

• When constructing a surveillance system using this unit, you are recommended to check its operation by connecting or
combining it with other devices in advance.

• Don't use the alarm function of this unit for the purpose of making serious decisions or for applications involving human
lives.

• When this unit becomes unable to recognize an external device in recording because of a power failure, voltage drop,
or other failure, the recording point may move to the HDD inside this unit or other HDD. To prevent such symptom, it is
recommended to use an uninterrupted power supply or other similar device.

• When you unplug the power cord or turn off the breaker during recording, the HDD may be broken or recorded data
may become unable to be played back. When you turn on and off the breaker every day, program the timer recording
to be performed while the breaker is on and don't turn off the breaker during recording.

• When the user or any third party uses external devices wrongly, or external devices are affected by electric noise or
they are damaged or repaired, the saved data may be lost. Mitsubishi doesn't take any responsibility for damages
related to such data loss.

• By connecting external HDDs to this unit, you can expand the memory or use them as a copy device. However, when
you perform recording, playback, or copy at a high rate using this unit, recording or playback data dropout or other
failure may occur depending on the connected device because of slow data transfer or slow response. Be sure to
check for such failure before starting the practical operation of the unit.

• Don't use the function to control the powers of external devices using the bus power of this unit.

• External devices you want to use may not be suitable for the intended application of this unit. For details, you are
