Preventive and Cautionary Tips
Before connecting and operating your NVR, please be advised of the following tips:
It is not recommended to replace the batteries by the user, since improper use or replacement of the battery may result in
hazard of explosion. If needed, replace with the same or equivalent type only.
Ensure unit is installed in a well-ventilated, dust-free environment.
Ensure at least 2cm (~0.75-inch) of space between two devices.
Environmental temperature should be within the range of 0 ºC ~ 50 ºC (32 ºF ~ 122 ºF).
Environmental humidity should be within the range of 10% ~ 90%.
The dust on the circuit board inside the device will short circuit the board. Please use the soft brush to clean the circuit board,
the connector, the chassis and the fan. You can also use the water-diluted neutral detergent to wipe away the dust and then
dry the components.
The volatile solvents, such as alcohol, benzene or thinner, are not allowed to clean the device.
Ensure no danger will be caused because of the uneven mechanical load.
When installing cables, ensure that the bend radius of the cables are no less than five times than its diameter.
Unit is designed for indoor use only.
Keep all liquids away from the NVR.
Ensure unit is properly secured to a rack or shelf. Major shocks or jolts to the unit as a result of dropping it may cause
damage to the sensitive electronics within the unit.
Use the NVR in conjunction with an UPS if possible.
Power down the unit before connecting and disconnecting accessories and peripherals.
A factory recommended HDD should be used for this device.
Ensure the NVR is grounded.
