these conditions could result in electric shock or re. Periodically
examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance
indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use
of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact
replacement part by an authorized servicer.
Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such
as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked
upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point
where the cord exits the appliance.
To disconnect power from the unit, unplug the unit from the
outlet. When installing the product, ensure that the plug is easily
accessible.

Wireless network connection
Another network connection is using the supplied wireless adapter.
This recorder supports an IEEE 802.11n wireless module using supplied wireless LAN adapter, which also supports
the 802.11b/g standards. For the best wireless performance, we recommend the use of a IEEE 802.11n certified Wi-Fi
network (access point or wireless router).
Refer to the setup instructions supplied with your access point or wireless router for detailed connection steps and
network settings.
The following connection example explain how to connect to the internet using an access point or wireless router.
If you want to access content from PCs or DLNA servers, this recorder must be connected to the same local area
network with them via a wireless network device.
