Important Safeguards
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the device.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the device’s casing that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
This section provides precautions and safety measures to ensure you are using the DVR properly. Please read all information, and refer back to it if needed.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
1. Follow all instructions and warnings in this manual.
2. Unplug the device from the power source before cleaning it. Do not use liquid aerosol detergents; use a water-dampened cloth for cleaning.
3. Do not use this device in humid or wet places.
4. Keep enough space around the device for ventilation. Slots and openings on the device should not be blocked.
5. It is highly recommended to connect the device to a surge protector to protect from damage caused by electrical surges. It is also recommended to connect the device (or surge protector) to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), which has an internal battery to keep the device running in case of a power outage.
CAUTION
Maintain electrical safety. Non battery powered equipment or accessories connected to this device should bear the UL
listing mark or CSA certication mark on the accessory itself and should not be modied so as to cancel out the safety
features. This will help avoid any potential hazard from
electrical shock or re. If in doubt, contact qualied service
personnel.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
1. Read and Follow Instructions - Read all safety and operating instructions before setting up and using the device. Follow all operating instructions.
2. Retain Instructions - Keep these safety and operating instructions for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings - Follow all warnings on the device and in the operating instructions.
4. Polarization - Polarized plugs and grounding plugs have different style blades. Be sure you are plugging the correct plug into the appropriate outlet. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician to replace the outlet.
• A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other.
• A grounding plug has two blades and a third grounding prong.
5. Power Sources - This device should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your location, consult your local power company.
6. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this increases the risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Periodically examine the cord, and, if its appearance indicates damage or deteriorated insulation, have it replaced.
7. Power-Cord Protection - Route power supply cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs and the point where they exit from the device.
8. Surge Protectors - It is highly recommended that the device be connected to a surge protector. Doing so will protect the device from damage caused by power surges. Surge protectors should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark.
9. Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) - Because this device is designed for continuous, 24/7 operation, it is recommended that you connect it to an uninterruptible power supply. An uninterruptible power supply has an internal battery that will keep it running in the event of a power outage. Uninterruptible power supplies should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark.
10. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the case provide ventilation for reliable device operation and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the device on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place it in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided and all of these instructions and cautions have been followed.
11. Attachments - Only use Uniden or Uniden recommended attachments.
12. Water and Moisture - Do not use this device near water - for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc.
13. Heat - The device should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other devices (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
14. Placement - Ensure that any cart, stand, tripod, or table holding the device is stable; otherwise, the device may fall, causing serious damage to the device. Use this device only
7
with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the device. Any mounting of the device should follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
15. Camera Extension Cables - Check the rating of your extension cable(s) to verify compliance with your local authority regulations prior to installation.
16. Mounting - The cameras provided with this system should be mounted only as instructed in this guide or the instructions that came with your cameras, using the provided mounting hardware.
17. Camera Installation - Cameras are not intended for submersion in water. Not all cameras can be installed outdoors. Check your camera environmental rating to confirm if they can be installed outdoors. When installing cameras outdoors, place them in a sheltered area.
SERVICE
1. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this device yourself, as opening or removing covers voids the warranty and may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
2. Conditions Requiring Service - Unplug this device from the wall outlet and go to www.uniden.com for FAQs:
• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.
• If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the
device.
• If the device has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the device has been dropped or the case has been
damaged.
• If the device does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may void the warranty, resulting in costly repairs or replacement.

8
3. Replacement Parts - Use Uniden-specified replacement parts to prevent fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
MAINTENANCE
1. Cleaning - Unplug the device from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liq uid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
2. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this device through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or “short-out” parts that could cause a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the device.

INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
The UDVR system operates with an embedded LINUX operating system for increased stability.
