Getting ready to start recording

* You can use micro SDHC, and SDXC cards with this network

drive recorder. We recommend you use an micro SDHC,
SDXC card. This drive recorder supports SDHC, SDXC cards
up to 128GB. We cannot guarantee normal operation with
SDHC cards bigger than 128GB.

* MMC (Multi Media Card) and MMC Plus are not supported.

* Compatible memory card capacity:

- SDHC: 4GB ~ 32GB

- SDXC: ~ up to 128GB

* When you use unauthorized memory cards, the driving re-

corder can not record videos correctly and your recordings
may be lost.

* The memory cards released after this drive recorder was re-

leased may not be compatible with the network drive recorder.

* To ensure stable recording and playback, use writing speed

40MB/s (Class 10) or higher memory cards. (MLC/Multi Level
Cell) Type memory card is recommended)

* SDHC/SDXC cards are a higher version of micro SD memory

cards and support higher capacities than micro SD memory
cards.

Section 1

Selecting a suitable memory card

Using the memory card adaptor

To use a micro memory card with a

computer or card reader you must

attach it to or insert it into an adaptor.

21

Damaged data may not be recoverable. We recommend you
make a back-up of important data separately on the hard disk
of your PC.

Turning the power off or removing a memory card during an
operation such as formatting, deleting, recording, and play­back may cause data loss.

If you modify the name of a file or folder stored in the memory
card with your PC, your NDR may not recognize the modified
file.

The memory card does not support any data recovery mode.
Therefore, care should be taken to prevent the memory card
from being damaged while recording.

A memory card has a certain life span. If you cannot record
new data, you have to purchase a new memory card.

Do not bend, drop, or subject the card to strong impacts.

Do not place foreign substances on the memory card termi­nals. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the terminals if required.

Do not paste anything other than the label provided with the
card on the label pasting area of the card.

Do not use a damaged memory card.

Be careful to keep the memory card out of the reach of chil­dren, who might swallow it.

We are not responsible for data loss due to misuse, including
loss caused by any PC virus.

We recommend using a memory card case to avoid data loss
that can be caused by moving the card or by static electricity.

After a period of use, the memory card may get warm. This is
normal and is not a malfunction.

The NDR supports micro SDHC, and SDXC memory cards, giving

you a wider choice of cards!

The data storage speed of cards may differ, depending on the
manufacturer and production system.

For best results, we recommend using a memory card that

supports a faster write speed 40MB/s or higher.

Using a lower write speed memory card for recording video may

cause difficulties when storing.
