• Turn off the system before installation. Do not plug
in several electric devices to the same outlet.
- This may cause heating, fire, or electric shock.
• Do not place any liquid container on the system,
such as water, coffee, or other beverage.
- If liquid is poured onto the system, it can cause a
system breakdown or fire.
• Prevent the power cable from being severely bent
or having pressure exerted on it by a heavy object.
- This may cause fire.
• Clean the dust around the system on a regular
basis. When cleaning the system, always use a dry
cloth. Do not use a wet cloth or other organic
solvents.
- This may damage the surface of the system and
can cause a system breakdown or electric shock.
• Avoid any place with moisture, dust, or soot.
- This can cause fire or electric shock.
• When pulling the power cable from the plug, do so
gently. Do not touch the plug with wet hands and
avoid using the plug if the holes in the outlet are
too loose.
- This may cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify
the system on your own. It is extremely dangerous
due to the high voltage running through the system.
- This may cause fire, electric shock, or serious
injury.
• Check for any danger signs such as a moist floor, a
loosened or damaged power cable, or an unstable
surface. If you encounter any problems, ask your
dealer for assistance.
- This may cause fire or electric shock.
• Keep a distance of at least 15cm between the back
of the system and the wall for the cables connected
to the system otherwise, they may be bent, dam-
aged, or cut.
- This may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
• Install the system in a cool place without direct sun-
light and always maintain room temperature. Avoid
candlelight and heat generating devices such as
heaters. Keep the system away from places where
many people pass.
- This may cause fire.
• Install the system on a plain surface with sufficient
air ventilation. Do not place the system on an ele-
vated surface.
- This may cause system breakdown or serious
injury.
• The power outlet must be placed on the ground,
and the voltage range must be within 10% of the
voltage rate. Do not use the same outlet with a hair
dryer, iron, refrigerator, or any heating appliances.
- This may cause fire, over heating or electric
shock.
• When the system’s battery is depleted, replace it
with the same or equivalent type of battery speci-
fied by the manufacturer. Depleted batteries should
be discarded according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
- This may cause an explosion.
• If the system’s HDD exceeds its life span, you may
not be able to recover any data stored inside the
HDD. If the video on the system screen appears
‘damaged’ while playing a recording stored inside
the system’s HDD, it must be replaced with a new
one. Ask for an engineer’s assistance for HDD
replacement from your dealer.
- LG Electronics is not responsible for deleted data
caused by user mishandling.

and tighten the system cover firmly.
- System breakdown may be caused by an
inappropriate environment.
It is recommended to use AVR (Automatic Voltage
Regulator) for a stable power supply.
It is recommended to coil the core-ferrite around
the connector of the system to avoid electromag-
netic interference.
• The outlet must be placed on the ground.
• If there is strange sound or smell, unplug the power
cable immediately and contact the service center.
- This may cause fire or electric shock.
• In order to maintain stable system performance,
have your system checked regularly by the service

Concerning the Internal Hard
Disk Drive
The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a fragile piece
of equipment. Please follow the guidelines below
when using the DVR to protect against possible HDD
failure.
We recommend that you back up your important
recordings onto an external backup device in order to
prevent accidental loss.
Make sure that the power is turned OFF when attach-
ing or removing the HDD.
• Do not move the DVR while the power is on.
• Do not use the DVR in excessively hot or humid
places, or in places that may be subject to sudden
changes in temperature. Sudden changes in tem-
perature can cause condensation to form inside the
DVR. This can be a cause of HDD failure.
• While the DVR is switched on, do not unplug from
the wall socket or switch the electricity off from the
breaker switch.
• If there’s a power failure while the DVR is on there
is a chance that some data on the HDD will be lost.
• Do not drop the HDD. Also do not put the metallic
object such as coins or screwdrivers into the HDD
tray.
• When a power failure occurs during recording,
avoid adding, replacing or transporting the HDD as
the recorded data may be erased. In this case, turn
the power back on to boot up the unit normally with
the HDD that was being used at the time of the
power failure attached. Then add, replace, or trans-
port the HDD.
• The HDD is very delicate. Handle the HDD with
care and follow the precautions below because
even a small shock may damage the internal com-
ponents of the HDD.
- Do not place the HDD on a desk or a table
directly. Put a thick cushion under the HDD
because even a small shock may damage the
internal components of the HDD.
- Do not use an electric screwdriver. Vibrations
and shocks caused by an electric screwdriver
may damage the internal components of the
HDD.
- When replacing the HDD, do not knock the HDD
with other components such as another HDD and
the HDD tray.
- Do not knock the HDD with tools such as a driver
when replacing the HDD.
• Protect the hard disk drives from static electricity.
