shock and/or damage to this unit. Also, do
not drop this unit.
Remove the power
cable from the
outlet.
b Maintenance when the unit is going to remain
unused for long periods
Remove the power cable from the outlet.
Carrying out maintenance without removing
the power cable may cause electrocution.
Remove the power
cable from the
outlet.
b Cleaning the internal components
Consult the dealership or factory shop where
you purchased this unit for cleaning internal
components. Leaving the unit unused for long
periods of time may attract dust to the
internal components, which in turn may
cause fires and/or breakdowns.
b Do not expose to extreme temperatures or
temperature variations.
• Do not place in areas where the unit will
be exposed to extreme temperatures (±10
degrees Centigrade per hour) or moisture
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 devices 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
Prohibited
b Do not block the cooling fans or air ducts.
• This unit is equipped with air ducts and
cooling fans in order to assist the
ventilation of hot air produced by the hard
disk drive.
Placing covers, placing in a case, or
placing inside book cases may cause heat
build up, and may result in fire and/or
electrocution.
When the unit is setup in a rack leave open space on
all sides.
• Leave 1 cm or more of space above and below.
• Leave 5 cm or more of space on both sides and on the
back side.
Prohibited
b Cautionary points on condensation
Condensation will result if cold water is poured into a cup.
The internal components of this unit are also susceptible
to the same condition. This condition is called
condensation.
Do not operate when the unit is in a state of
condensation.
Operating when the unit is in a state of condensation may
cause breakdowns. When exposed to extreme
temperature changes, turn the power off and leave the unit
for approximately two hours (until the surrounding
temperature stabilizes) and then start the unit.
Using this unit while condensation is present may cause
breakdowns.
When condensation is likely to result...

Safety precautions
Follow the points outlined below for proper use
b Hard disk
This unit is loaded with a hard disk drive. Stored data on this unit may be damaged/lost through hard-disk breakdowns caused
by shock/vibration.
Follow the items outlined below when placing, transporting, and operating this unit.
Warning
G This unit is designed to be positioned horizontally.

Always turn the power off, even when moving in and out of
racks.
G Do not remove the power cable while recording or
playing back.
G Do not move the unit for approximately 30 seconds
after turning the power off.
The hard disk is rotating for a short duration after the
power is turned off. The unit is further susceptible to
damages through shock and vibration in this state
compared to when the power is turned on. Do not move it.
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
provided at the time of purchase), when delivering.
Use the packaging materials provided during the original
purchase when the unit or a single internal component is
going to be delivered. Deliver using a method that causes
the least amount of shock and/or damage to this unit.
Caution
G Inspecting for abnormalities in the hard disk drive and
the cooling fan
This unit is designed to automatically check the drive and
cooling fan when the power is turned on. Replacement
parts will be necessary if abnormalities are detected.
Images will have to be saved and initialization will have to
take place if there is a fault with the drive. Consult the
dealership where this unit was purchased for details.
G Wear in the hard disk drive and the cooling fan
The hard disk drive and cooling fan are consumable
items.
Replace the parts stated below when using the unit in a
25°C environment. The replacement timings listed are
approximate and do not guarantee the performance or life
expectancy of the part in question.
• Hard disk: 2 years
• Cooling fan: 3 years
• Damper: 2 years
Consult the dealership where the unit was purchased
for replacement drives.
• The drive is vulnerable to static electricity shocks. Take
the appropriate measures to prevent exposure to static
electricity.
• Unpackaged drives should be placed horizontally with
their base facing upwards on top of a soft cloth.
Exposing the drive to shocks and vibration may cause
breakdowns.
• Do not expose the drive to shocks and vibrations while
removing/tightening the screws during replacement.
Firmly tighten the screws after replacement.

Safety precautions
bBack up battery
• A lithium battery (fixed) is built into this unit. Supplying
power for more than 48 hours after setting the date and
time will allow the internal power source to sustain the
set time for 30 days.
• The battery is expected to last for approximately 5
years if the unit is used regularly.
• Battery fluid leaks
Rinse hands/clothes thoroughly with water in case
battery fluid has leaked.
Loss of eyesight may result if battery fluid enters the
eyes. Do not rub. Immediately rinse with clean water
and consult a physician.
The following symptoms will result if the battery is
leaking or has reached the end of its life expectancy.
Consult the dealership where this unit was purchased
or the nearest repair center for replacements.
• The clock is automatically reset once the power
source is cut.
• Does not return to automatic standby.
• The image number is not recorded.
When disposing of this unit

assignments.
Recording and/or playing back functions may be
unavailable due to hard-drive or connecting device 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 that periodic back ups or mirroring is
conducted in order to prevent breakdowns or recording
faults through accidents.
bMaintaining this unit
Turn the power off and remove the power cable from
the outlet.
Wipe away dust using a soft cloth.
When the stains are hard to remove...
Soak the cloth in water with diluted neutral detergent.
