b Cautionary points on condensation

Droplets may form on the outside when very cold water is
poured into a cup. In the same way, droplets may form
around the internal components of this unit. This is called
condensation.

Do not use this unit if condensation has formed.

Using this unit while condensation is formed may cause
breakdowns. In the event of sudden sharp temperature
changes, turn off the power and do not use this unit until
the temperature of the room where it is positioned
stabilizes (about 2 hours).

Condensation will not occur while the power is turned on.

Prohibited

When condensation is likely to occur ...

Use the unit after turning the power off and leaving it for
1~2 hours.

b Do not expose to extreme temperatures or

humidity changes.

• Do not place in areas where the unit will
be exposed to extreme temperatures
(±10 degrees C per hour) or humidity
changes.

b Points on unit positioning

This unit is constructed using precision
electronic parts. Avoid placing it in areas
described below as this may cause faulty
operation and/or breakdowns.

• In direct sunlight

• In places exposed to water

• In the vicinity of cooling and heating units or humidifiers

• Near the air conditioner where the unit is exposed to
cool air

• Dusty areas

• Areas that contain fire hazards

• Areas that contain magnetic items

• In the vicinity of volatile substances

• Areas where the unit will be exposed to constant
vibration (in trains, cars, etc.)

Prohibited

v

Safety precautions

Follow the points outlined below for proper use

bBack up battery.

• This unit has got a built-in lithium battery used to back
up the clock function. The battery continues to operate
the clock even when there is a power disruption.

• The life expectancy of the battery is approximately 2
years. If the battery runs out or leaks, the clock resets
when the power is turned off. When the power is turned
back on (or when rebooted), a warning message to
replace the battery is displayed on the monitor screen.
Consult the dealership where this unit was purchased
or a "Repair Service Center".

Battery fluid leaks

In the event that the battery fluid has leaked rinse hands/
clothes thoroughly with water.

Loss of eyesight may result if battery fluid enters the eyes.
Do not rub the eyes. Immediately rinse with clean water
and consult a physician.

When disposing of this unit

Consult the dealership where this unit was purchased for
information concerning the disposal of the lithium battery.

CAUTION:

RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN
INCORRECT TYPE.

DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE
INSTRUCTIONS

bIf unused for a lengthy period of time

Remove the power plug from the outlet. Remember to
occasionally turn the power on in order to maintain correct
function.

bPre-confirm important recording

assignments

Recording and/or playback functions may be unavailable
due to hard-drive or connecting unit failures. Always
confirm that recording can be carried out successfully
before carrying out important recording assignments.
The recorded content cannot be guaranteed.

It is recommended to periodically back up data in order to
prevent the loss of the data in the event of breakdowns,
recording faults or accidents.

bMaintaining this unit

Turn the power off and remove the power plug from
the outlet. Wipe away any dust using a soft cloth.

When the stains are hard to remove...
Soak a cloth in water with diluted neutral detergent
and wring it. Wipe the stain with the moistened cloth
and finally dry off with a dry cloth.

CAUTION:

• Do not use paint thinner, benzine, or any other alcohol
based agents for cleaning. The exterior may deteriorate
or the paint may wear off.

• Follow the instructions supplied on the packaging of the
chemical cleaning agent.

• Do not spray volatile substances, such as insecticides,
etc. onto the unit. Also, avoid extended contact with
rubber or vinyl products.

This may cause exterior damage or wear the paint off.

Main parts
replacement timings

Continued use of this unit in a 25°C environment may result in
wear and deterioration of the parts of the unit.
We recommend you replace the following parts according to
the timings listed below. The replacement timings listed are
approximate and do not guarantee the performance of the
part in question.

Check that all the parts shown below are supplied.

1 Power cable (×2)

2 Remote control

*2 “AAA” batteries are necessary for the remote control.

b Hard disk: 2 years (25°C environment)

The life expectancy of each part depends on the
environment in which the unit is used. However, the head
and motor are particularly prone to wear and deterioration.
Therefore, writing errors are more likely to occur after two
years of use.

b Cooling fan: 3 years (25°C environment)

Cooling fan failure causes higher internal temperatures
which may result in a faulty hard disk. Periodically check
whether the cooling fan is working properly.

Memo: This unit is equipped with two cooling fans on the

right and at the rear. The cooling fan on the right may
be replaced.

About the split
screen display

This manual is common to 2 models. Major differences
between these two models are, the number of channel
selection buttons available on the front panel and the number
of input/output terminals available on the rear panel.

As a result, the number of split screens that can be displayed
on the monitor is different, as shown below.

(DSR-2116) (DSR-2108)

Warning

The hard disk is a precision instrument. To avoid damage,
handle the hard disk with care and do not expose it to shock.

Do not block the ventilation holes and do not allow the cooling
fan to stop. Doing so may cause heat build up and may
shorten the life expectancy of the hard disk.

G This unit is designed to be positioned horizontally. Do

not position vertically.

G Do not expose to shock or vibration and do not

transport while power is turned on.

Always turn the power off when moving in and out of racks
or other shelves.

G Do not remove the power plug while recording or

playing images back.

G Do not move the unit for approximately 30 seconds

after turning the power off.

The hard disk continues to rotate for a short duration after
the power has been turned off. The unit is further
susceptible to damage through shock and vibration during
that period. It is imperative that you do not move the unit
during that time.

G Do not expose to shock or vibration.

Avoid placing this unit directly on the floor. Make sure that
the four stands attached to the base of this unit are used
when placing it on the floor.

G Always use the original packaging (packaging

supplied at the time of purchase), when shipping the
unit.

Make sure you use the packaging materials supplied at the
time of the original purchase when shipping the unit or a
single internal component of the unit. Select a shipping
method that will cause the least amount of shock to the
unit during shipping.

Consult the dealership where this unit was
purchased for hard disk replacement.

• The hard disk is vulnerable to static electric shocks. Take
appropriate measures to prevent exposure to static
electricity.

• Unpackaged drives should be placed horizontally with their
base plate facing upwards on top of a soft cloth. Exposing
the hard disk to shocks and vibration may cause
breakdowns.

• Do not expose the drive to shocks and/or vibrations when
removing/tightening the screws at the time of hard disk
replacement. Firmly tighten the screws after replacement.
