signed and built for. Any other use is considered inap-
propriate.
This device may only be used for the following purpose(s):
•This digital recorder is used in combination with con-
nected video signal sources (B/W and colour cam-
eras) and video output devices (CRT or TFT moni-
tors) for object surveillance.
Note
Data storage is subject to national data-protection
guidelines.
During installation, inform your customers regard-
ing the existence of these guidelines.
General
Before using the device for the first time, read the following
instructions carefully and pay attention to all warnings,
even if you are already familiar with electronic devices.
Warning
All guarantee claims become invalid for damage
caused by non-compliance with these operating
instructions.
We cannot be held liable for resulting damage.
Warning
We cannot be held liable in the event of material
or personal damage caused by improper opera-
tion or non-compliance with the safety information.
All guarantee claims are invalid in such cases.
Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
If you pass on or sell the device, you must also include
this user manual.
This device has been manufactured in accordance with
international safety standards.
Power supply
•Only operate this device through a power source
which supplies the mains power specified on the type
plate.
•If you are unsure of the power supply at the installa-
tion location, contact your power supply company.
Warning
Avoid data loss!
Always use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
with overvoltage protection.
•Disconnect the device from the mains power supply
before carrying out maintenance or installation work.
•The on/off switch does not completely disconnect the
device from the mains power supply.
•To disconnect the device completely from the mains
power supply, the plug must be disconnected from
the mains socket. Therefore, the device should be
positioned so that direct and unobstructed access to
the mains socket is guaranteed at all times and the
plug can be disconnected immediately in an emer-
gency.
•To avoid the possibility of fires, the plug should al-
ways be disconnected from the network socket if the
device is not used for long periods. Disconnect the
device from the mains power supply before impend-
ing electrical storms, or use an uninterruptible power
supply.

Warning
Never open the device on your own! There is a
risk of electric shocks!
If it is necessary to open the device, consult trained
personnel or your local maintenance specialist.
•The installation or modification of a HDD should only
be made by trained personnel or your local mainte-
nance specialist.
Warning
The installation of additional equipment or modifi-
cation of the device invalidates your guarantee if
not carried out by trained personnel.
We recommend having the HDD installed by a
maintenance specialist.
Your guarantee is invalidated in the event of im-
proper installation of the HDD.
Overloading/Overvoltage
•Avoid overloading of mains sockets, extension cables
and adapters as this can result in fires or electric
shocks.
•Use overvoltage protection to prevent damage
caused by overvoltage (e.g. electrical storms).
Cables
•Always hold cables by the connector, and do not pull
the cable itself.
•Never touch the mains cable with wet hands, as this
can lead to a short circuit or electric shock.
•Never position the device, furniture or other heavy
items on the cable. Ensure that the cable does not
become kinked, especially on the connector and
sockets.
•Never knot the cable, and do not tie it to other cables.
•All cables should be laid so that they cannot be
stepped on or cause an obstruction.
•A damaged mains cable can cause a fire or electric
shock. Check the mains cable from time to time.
•Never modify or manipulate the mains cable or plug.
•Do not use plug adapters or extension cables that do
not conform to the applicable safety standards, and do
not make alterations to power supply cables or mains
cables.
Installation location/Operating environment
•Position the device on a firm, level surface and do not
place any heavy objects on the device.
•The device is not designed for operation in rooms
subject to high temperatures or moisture (e.g. bath-
rooms), or in excessively dusty rooms.
•Operating temperature and ambient humidity:
-10 °C to 55 °C, maximum 85 % relative humidity.
The device may only be operated in moderate climate
conditions.
Ensure the following:
•Sufficient ventilation must be present at all times (do
not place the device in a storage rack, on thick car-
pets, on a bed or anywhere where the ventilation
slots are covered. Make sure that a gap of at least
10 cm is present on all sides).
•The device must not be exposed to direct heat
sources (e.g. heaters).
•The device must not be exposed to direct sunlight or
strong artificial light.
•The device must not be placed in close proximity to
magnetic fields (e.g. loudspeakers).
•Naked flames (e.g. candles) must not be placed on or
near the device.
•Contact with spraying or dripping water and aggres-
sive liquids must be avoided.
•The device must not be operated in close proximity to
water, and must not be submerged under any cir-
cumstances (do not place objects containing water on
or near the device, such as vases or drinks).
•Foreign objects must not penetrate the device.
•The device must not be exposed to strong variations
in temperature, as this can lead to condensation and
electrical short circuits.
•The device must not be exposed to excessive jolts or
vibrations.
Remote control
•Remove all batteries if the device will not be used for
a sustained period, as these can leak and damage
the device.

Important safety information

Care and maintenance Putting into operation
Maintenance is necessary if the device has been dam-
aged. This includes damage to the plug, mains cable and
housing, penetration of the interior by liquids or foreign
objects, exposure to rain or moisture or when the device
does not work properly or has fallen.
•Observe all safety and operating instructions before
putting the device into operation for the first time.
•Only open the housing to install the HDD.
Warning
When installing the device in an existing video
surveillance system, ensure that all devices are
disconnected from the mains power supply and
low-voltage circuit.
•Disconnect the device from the mains power supply
before maintenance (e.g. cleaning).
•If smoke develops or unusual noises or odours are
detected, then switch off the device immediately and
pull the mains plug from the socket. In such cases,
the device should not be used until it has been in-
spected by a qualified technician.
•Maintenance work should only be carried out by
qualified specialists.
•Never open the housing on the device or accesso-
ries. There is a risk of fatal injury due to an electric
shock when the housing is opened.
•Clean the device housing and remote control with a
damp cloth.
•Do not use solvents, white spirit or thinners as these
can damage the surface of the device.
•Do not use any of the following substances:
•Salt water, insecticides, solvents containing chlorine
or acids (ammonium chloride) or scouring powder.
•Gently rub the surface with a cotton cloth until it is
completely dry.
Warning
The device works under dangerous voltages. The
device must only be opened by authorised spe-
cialists. All maintenance and service work must be
carried out by authorised firms. Improper repairs
can expose device users to the risk of fatal injury.
Accessories
•Only connect devices that are suitable for the in-
tended purpose. Otherwise, hazardous situations or
damage to the device can occur.
Warning
If in doubt, have a specialist technician carry
out assembly, installation and connection of the
device.
Improper or unprofessional work on the mains
power supply or domestic installation puts both
you and other persons at risk.
Connect the installations so that the mains power
circuit and low-voltage circuit always run sepa-
rately from each other. They should not be con-
nected at any point or become connected as a re-
sult of a malfunction.
Children and the device
•Do not allow children access to electrical devices.
Never allow children to use electrical devices without
supervision. Children may not be able to accurately
detect possible risks. Small parts can be life-
threatening if swallowed.
•Keep batteries away from small children. Call for
medical assistance immediately if a battery is swal-
lowed.
•Keep packaging materials away from children (dan-
ger of suffocation).
•This device should not be used by children. If used
improperly, spring-loaded parts can be ejected and
cause injuries to children (e.g. eye injuries).
