Note:
All the installation and operations here should conform to your local electric
safety rules.
VGA cable quality and length can affect the video quality. It may result in
distorted video, noise, black margin. The video quality may vary even if you are
viewing the same video via different VGA cables.
2.1 Check Unpacked NVS
When you received the NVS from the shipping agency, please check whether there is any
visible damage. The protective materials used for the package of the NVS can protect
most accidental clashes during transportation. Then you can open the box to check the
accessories.
Please check the items in accordance with the list.
Finally you can remove the protective film of the NVS.
The label at the bottom of the box is very important. Usually we need you to present the
serial number when we provide the service after sales.
