SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Before using the Digital Video Recorder, please ensure that you read and

understand the safety precautions described below. Always ensure that the
Digital Video Recorder is operated correctly.

The safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to instruct

you in the safe and correct operation of the Digital Video Recorder and its
accessories to prevent injuries or damage to the self, other persons and
equipment.

In this Instruction Manual, the term “Digital Video Recorder”, “equipment” and

“device” refers primarily to the Digital Video Recorder and its accessories such

as power supply and its remote controller.

WARNINGS

Do not cover the ventilation opening or slots on the outer casing. To prevent

the Digital Video Recorder from overheating, provide at least two inches of air
space around the vent and the slots.

Do not drop metallic parts through slots. This could permanently damage the

Digital Video Recorder. Immediately turn the Digital Video Recorder‟s power
off or unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Contact a qualified service
personnel authorized by the equipment distributor or the Maker.

Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that is not

expressly described in this guide. Disassembly or alteration may result in high
voltage electric shock. Internal inspections, alterations and repairs should be
conducted by qualified service personnel authorized by the equipment
distributor or the Maker.

Stop operating the equipment immediately if it emits smoke or noxious fumes.

Failure to do so may result in fire or electrical shock. Immediately turn the
Digital Video Recorder‟s power off, remove the power cable from the power
outlet. Confirm that smoke and fume emissions have ceased. Please consult
the Digital Video Recorder reseller.

Stop operating the equipment if a heavy object is dropped or the casing is

damaged. Do not strike or shake. Failure to do so may result in fire or

electrical shock. Immediately turn the Digital Video Recorder‟s power off or

unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Please consult the Digital Video
Recorder reseller.

7

Do not allow the equipment to come into contact with, or become immersed in,

water or other liquids. Do not allow liquids to enter the interior. The Digital
Video Recorder has not been waterproofed. If the exterior comes into contact
with liquids or salt air, wipe it dry with a soft, absorbent cloth. In the event that
the water or other foreign substances enter the interior, immediately turn the

Digital Video Recorder‟s Power off or unplug the power cord from the power

outlet. Continued use of the equipment may result in fire or electrical shock.
Please consult the Digital Video Recorder reseller.

Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzene, thinners or other

flammable substances to clean or maintain the equipment. The use of these
substances may lead to fire. Use a dry cloth on a regular periodic basis and
wipe away the dust and dirt that collects on the device. In dusty, humid or
greasy environments, the dust that collects around the ventilation or the slots on
the outer casing over long periods of time may become saturated with humidity
and short-circuit, leading to fire.

Do not cut, damage, alter or place heavy items on the power cord. Any of

these actions may cause an electrical short circuit, which may lead to fire or
electrical shock.

Do not handle the device or power cord with wet hands. Handling it with wet

hands may lead to electrical shock. When unplugging the cord, ensure that
you hold the solid portion of the plug. Pulling on the flexible portion of the cord
may damage or expose the wire and insulation, creating the potential for fires or
electrical shocks.

Use only the recommended power accessories. Use of power sources not

expressly recommended for this equipment may lead to overheating, damage of
the equipment, fire, electrical shock or other hazards.

The supplied power supply and power cord are designed for exclusive use with

the Digital Video Recorder. Do not use it with other products or battery.
There is a risk of fire and other hazards.

Avoid using, placing or storing the equipment in places subject to strong

sunlight or high temperatures, such as a greenhouse or trunk of a car. High
temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing. Ensure that there is
good ventilation when using the equipment.

Do not operate the Digital Video Recorder beyond its specified temperature,

humidity or power source ratings. Do not use the Digital Video Recorder in an
extreme environment such as in high temperature or high humidity. Use the
device at temperatures within 32°F~140°F and humidity below 90%.

8

PREVENTING MALFUNCTION

Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields. Never place the Digital Video Recorder in close

proximity to electric motors or other equipment generating strong
electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause
malfunctions or corrupt image data.

Avoid Condensation Related Problems. Moving the equipment rapidly between

hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on
its external and internal surfaces. You can avoid this by placing the equipment
in an airtight, re-sealable plastic bag and letting it adjust to temperature changes
slowly before removing it from the bag.

If Condensation forms inside the Digital Video Recorder. Stop using the

equipment immediately if you detect condensation. Continued use may
damage the equipment. Remove the power cord from the power outlet and
wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.
