1 BEFORE USE

Notes on handling the internal HDD

This digital video recorder uses an internal hard disk drive (HDD). Be sure to observe the following points carefully when operating, setting-up, or servicing the digital video recorder.

 Do not subject the digital video recorder to

sudden impact or vibration.

If the digital video recorder is subjected to sudden impact or vibration, it may damage the HDD or cause corruption of the data stored within it. z Do not move the digital video recorder while the power

is turned on. Always ensure that the power is turned off before removing the digital video recorder from or placing it in a rack.

z When transporting the digital video recorder, pack it

securely using the specified materials. In addition, choose a method of transportation that minimizes vibration.

z When placing the digital video recorder on the floor or

another similar surface, attach the specified pads to its base and place it down gently.

 Do not move the digital video recorder for 30

seconds after turning off the power.

After the power is turned off, the disk inside the HDD will continue to spin for a brief period due to inertia, and the heads will be in an unstable condition. During this period, the digital video recorder is even more susceptible to damage from sudden impact and vibration than when it is turned on. Make sure that the digital video recorder is not subjected to even gentle vibration for at least 30 seconds after turning off the power.

 Do not operate the digital video recorder when

condensation has formed on it.

If the digital video recorder is operated in this type of condition, there is a possibility that it will be permanently damaged. If the temperature around the digital video recorder changes suddenly, wait for it to stabilize before operating the digital video recorder.

 Notes on replacing the HDD

Be sure to follow the correct procedure when replacing the HDD. z HDDs that have been removed from their packing may

not operate correctly if they are subjected to sudden impact or vibration. It is recommended that you place the HDD on a soft, level surface with the printed circuit board facing upward after it has been unpacked.

z Take care to avoid subjecting the HDD to sudden

impact or vibration when removing and tightening screws as part of the HDD replacement procedure. Tighten all screws securely to ensure that they do not loosen.

z The HDD is sensitive to static electricity; accordingly,

you should take the appropriate precautions to prevent the buildup of static charges.

 Handling a detached HDD unit

If transporting or storing the HDD unit in a detached condition, be sure to first of all pack it using the specified materials. In addition, choose a method of transportation that minimizes vibration.

Notes on installation locations

The hard disk is sensitive to dust, sudden impact, and vibration; furthermore, it should not be used near magnetic objects. The following precautions should be observed in order to prevent the loss of recorded data: z Do not subject the digital video recorder to sudden

impact.

z Do not use the digital video recorder on a vibrating or

unstable surface.

z Do not disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet

during recording or playback.

Do not use the digital video recorder in areas with extreme temperature changes (i.e., 10ºC or more per hour).

z Condensation may occur if the digital video recorder is

moved to an area with a significantly different temperature or high humidity. If the digital video recorder is used while condensation is present inside it, operating problems may occur.

z Do not install the digital video recorder inside motor

vehicles, trains, or other areas under constant vibration.

z The digital video recorder has ventilation holes on its

left, rear, and bottom panels. Ensure that these holes are not blocked after installation.

z Do not use the digital video recorder in a bookshelf,

box, or any other area with poor ventilation.

z This digital video recorder is designed for use in a

horizontal orientation, and vertical setup may result in malfunction.

z When installing the digital video recorder in a rack,

ensure that a gap of at least 5 cm is provided at the top and bottom.

English 5

BEFORE USE1

The hard disk and cooling fan are consumable components.

If used in an ambient temperature of 25ºC, the hard disk should generally be replaced after 2 years; and the cooling fan after 3 years. These figures are intended as a general guideline only and should not be taken as a guarantee of component performance. The POWER indicator will flash if a problem occurs with the hard disk or fan. (JP.7)

Important recordings

z Always perform test recording in advance to confirm

whether the digital video recorder’s playback is normal.

z Note that Sanyo will accept no responsibility for losses

occurring as a result of recording or playback problems caused by malfunction of this digital video recorder or any connected devices.

z As a precaution against malfunction or accidents, it is

advisable to periodically back up important recordings or to perform mirroring.

Protection of the hard disk

The hard disk is checked automatically when the power is turned on. If an abnormality is detected, the POWER indicator will begin to flash or an error message will be displayed. If you need initialize the hard disk or to save images stored on it, contact the dealer from whom you purchased this digital video recorder.

INTRODUCTION

Backup battery

The digital video recorder comes with a built-in lithium battery. If power is supplied continuously for at least 48 hours after setting the date and time, the clock will continue to operate normally for up to 30 days without a supply of power. When disposing of this digital video recorder, contact the dealer from whom it was purchased for information on how to dispose of the lithium battery.
