Safety Information
Safety warnings and Cautions
The following are warnings and cautions for the safety of the users and for the prevention of any property damage. Please read the following
carefully.
WARNING
• 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 15 cm between the back of the system and the wall for the cables connected to the system otherwise, they may
be bent, damaged, or cut.
-This may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
• Install the system in a cool place without direct sunlight 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 elevated 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 specified 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.
• PLEASE DO NOT MOUNT OR UN-MOUNT HDDs WHILE SYSTEM IS POWERED ON.
-This may cause system breakdown.

HDD INSTALLATION
Note for Hard Disk Drive
The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a fragile piece of equipment.
Please follow the guidelines below when using the system 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 attaching or
removing the HDD.
• Do not move the system while the power is on.
• Do not use the system in excessively hot or humid places, or in
places that may be subject to sudden changes in temperature.
Sudden changes in temperature can cause condensation to
form inside the system. This can be a cause of HDD failure.
• While the system 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 system is on, some data on
the HDD may 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 transport the HDD.
• The HDD is very delicate. Handle the HDD with care and follow
the precautions below because even a tiny shock may damage
the internal components of the HDD.
-Do not place the HDD on the desk or 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.
