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 Vitek.

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 electrical shock. Internal inspections, alterations and repairs should be conducted by qualified service personnel authorized by the equipment distributor or the Vitek.

Stop operation of 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 operation of 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.

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

SAGA “ST-H” Series

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 0~+40 (32°F~104°F) and humidity below 90%.

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.

SAGA “ST-H” Series

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.
