Please read these instructions before operating the unit.

Installation.

Refer all work related to the installation of this product to qualified service personnel or system installers.
Avoid the following locations for installation.

＊ Places exposed to direct water, moisture, or sunlight directly

＊ Places subject to having strong vibration or impact

＊ Near magnetic field sources such as a television or speakers, magnet, etc.

＊ Steamy and oily places such as kitchens

＊ Places which are not level

＊ Place where condensation forms easily, where temperature changes greatly.

＊ Place the DVR in a well-ventilated place and do not place heat-generating objects on the unit.

Built-in hard disk drive

Hard disk drive is vulnerable to vibration. Handle it with care.

Performance and lifetime of hard disk drive is easily affected by heat (used at high temperature)
characteristically. It is recommended to use this unit at temperatures between 20℃-30℃{68℉-86℉}.
It is possible to damage it if it is moved while it motor is still running. Do not move it just after turning it
power on or off (for around 30 seconds).
A lifetime of hard disk drive is limited by use.
It is recommended to replace it after around 18000 hours of operation to prevent data loss from disk failures.
Write error may occur frequently after around 20000 hours of operation and the head and motor deterioration
may occur and will reach their lifetime after 30000 hours of operation when it has been used at the

recommended ambient temperature (approx. 25℃{77℉}).

When hard disk drive trouble occurs, replace it immediately. Consult your dealer for servicing.
When replacing the hard disk drives, take notice of the following.

4

 Protect the hard disk drives from static electricity.
 Do not keep them upright.
 Do not use an electric screwdriver to fix them.

(Tightening torque: Approx. 0.49 N.m {5 Kgf.cm})

 Avoid rapid changes of the temperature/humidity to prevent condensation.

(Acceptable change: within 15℃/h{59℉/h})

Before You Start.

1. Do not attempt to open or remove the covers. This may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.

2. Installation should be performed by a qualified service person only.

3. This unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the manufacturer’s label.

Special Note.

If you need to change the TIME/DATE always clear the Hard Drive. If you don’t follow this step first, it may

cause erratic behaviour of the DVR and possible loss of recordings.

1. It is recommended to use the same manufacturer when installing Hard Drives.

2. When backing up data, if there is any other data in USB disk, please save it, otherwise the original
documents will be deleted when video records backup.
