The specification and information are subject to change without notice for quality improvement.

Safety Precautions

Explanation of Graphical Symbols

This symbol indicates the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instruction in the literature accompanying the product.

This symbol indicates the presence of un-protected ”dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

Cautions

This product has multiple-rated voltages (110v and 220v). See installation instructions before connecting to the power supply. This product uses a Lithium battery. To avoid of risk of explosion, do not replace the battery on the main board by anything other than a Lithium battery. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This equipment and all communication wirings are intended for indoor use only. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.

Warnings

Installation and servicing should be performed only by qualified and experienced personnel. Power off the DVR when connecting cameras, audio or sensor cables. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage caused by improper use of the product or failure to follow instructions for the product. The manufacturer is not responsible for any problems caused by or resulting from the user physically opening the DVR for examination or attempting to fix the unit. The manufacturer may not be held liable for any issues with the unit if the warranty seal is removed.

Rack Mount Instructions

The following or similar rack-mount instructions are included with the installation instructions:

A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on over current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

E) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips)."
