1 BEFORE USE

Notes on handling internal hard disk drive components

This unit has a built-in hard disk drive (HDD). Be sure to observe the following points carefully when operating, setting-up and servicing the unit.

 Do not subject the unit to shocks or vibration.

If the unit is subjected to shocks or vibration, it may damage the HDD or cause corruption of the data stored in the HDD. z Do not move the unit while the power is turned on.

Always be sure to turn off the power before removing the unit from or placing it onto the rack.

z When transporting the unit, pack it securely using the

specified packing materials. In addition, use a method of transportation that minimizes vibration.

z When placing the unit down on a surface such as a

floor, attach the specified feet to the base of the unit and place it down gently. If the feet are not attached, place the unit down very carefully so that it does not make any noise.

 Do not move the unit 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 state. During this time, the unit is even more susceptible to shocks and vibration than when power is being supplied. Make sure that the unit is not subjected to even gentle vibration for at least 30 seconds after turning off the power.

 Do not operate the unit when condensation has

formed.

If the unit is operated when condensation has formed, it may cause operating problems. If sudden changes in the ambient temperature occur, wait for the temperature to stablize before operating the unit.

 Notes when replacing the HDD

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

not operate correctly if they are subjected to any shocks and vibration. It is recommended that you place HDD onto a soft, level surface with the printed circuit board facing upward after unpacking it.

z Be careful not to subject the HDD to shocks or vibration

when removing and tightening screws as part of the HDD replacement procedure. Make sure that all screws are tightened securely so that they will not become loose. The HDD is sensitive to static electricity, so you should take proper precautions to prevent static electricity buildup.

 Handling the HDD unit by itself

If transporting or storing the HDD unit by itself, always be sure to pack it in the specified packing first.

In addition, use a method of transportation that minimizes the vibration. If the HDD becomes damaged, handle the unit and the damaged HDD that has been removed in order for it to be replaced carefully to prevent the problem from being aggravated until as the nature of the problem can be checked and analyzed.

Do not use the digital video recorder in the following locations:

z The hard disk is sensitive to dust, vibrations and

shocks, and should also not be used near magnetic objects. To prevent loss of recorded data, observe the following precautions:

z Do not subject the digital video recorder to shocks. 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.

z Do not use the digital video recorder in areas of

extreme temperature changes (10ºC or more per hour).

z Condensation may occur if the digital video recorder is

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

z Do not install the digital video recorder in areas of

constant vibration such as motor vehicles or trains.

The hard disk and cooling fan are consumables.

Under use 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 guidelines only, and are not guarantees of part performance. The POWER indicator flashes if a problem occurs in the hard disk or fan. (JP.10)

Installation conditions

The digital video recorder has ventilation holes on its left, rear and bottom panels. Make sure these holes are not blocked after installation. Do not use the unit in an area of poor ventilation such as a bookshelf or box. When installing the unit in a rack, ensure a gap of at least 5 cm at the top and bottom.

For important recordings

z Always make a test recording beforehand to check that

the digital video recorder's playback is normal.

z Note that no compensation will be provided for losses

due to recording or playback problems arising from problems with the digital video recorder or its connected devices during operation.

Page 7

e_dsr_m800.book Page 6 Friday, January 31, 2003 5:45 PM

1 BEFORE USE

z To be prepared for malfunctions or accidents, back up

important recordings periodically, or record using mirroring.

Hard disk protection

The hard disk is checked automatically at power ON. If a hard disk problem is found, the POWER indicator flashes. If you need to initialize the disk or save images stored on the disk, contact a Sanyo service center.

Care

z To clean the digital video recorder, unplug the power

plug from the wall outlet and wipe the unit lightly with a soft cloth.

z To remove heavy grime, wipe the digital video recorder

with a well-wrung cloth soaked in a solution of water and neutral detergent, and then wipe it with a dry cloth.

z Do not clean the unit with benzene or paint thinner.

Doing so may break down the finish or strip the paint.

z When using a chemical cloth, be sure to follow the

precautions provided with it.

z Do not spray insecticide or other volatile chemicals on

the cabinet. Do not allow rubber or vinyl products to come into contact with the digital video recorder for extended periods. Doing so may break down the finish or strip the paint.

INTRODUCTION SETTINGS OTHER OTHER OTHER OTHER

During extended disuse

Extended disuse may cause problems in functions, so turn the power on and operate the unit occasionally during such periods.

Backup battery

The digital video recorder comes with a built-in lithium battery. When the digital video recorder has been connected to a wall outlet for at least 48 hours and the date and time have been set, the clock function will continue to operate for up to 30 days after the power plug is disconnected. When disposing of the digital video recorder, contact a Sanyo service center for information on how to dispose of the lithium battery.

Connecting to a network

The VA-SW800 application software (sold separately) lets you control the digital video recorder, and monitor live images, recorded images and audio through a network.

z If the POWER indicator flashes

The digital video recorder has a self-check function that indicates problems. If there is a problem at power ON or during operation, the type of problem is indicated by how rapidly the POWER indicator flashes. Contact a Sanyo Authorized Service Center if the POWER indicator flashes. 4 flashes per second: The disk is checked automatically at power ON. If a hard disk problem is found, the POWER indicator flashes, and the hard disk must be replaced or reformatted. If you need to save images stored on the disk, contact a Sanyo Authorized Service Center. 1 flash per second: Fan problem

z If you disconnect the power cable

Don’t move the digital video recorder for 30 seconds after power OFF. The disk in the hard disk drive briefly keeps spinning after power OFF due to inertia, during which time the head is unstable. At this time, the disk is sensitive to shocks or vibrations, so avoid even light shocks.
