dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in elec-
tric shock or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your
appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or
deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appli-
ance, 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.

dren or infirm persons without supervision.

Notes on Network Connection
Many network connection problems during set up can
often be fixed by re-setting the router or modem.
After connecting the recorder to the home network,
quickly power off and/or disconnect the power cable of
the home network router or cable modem. Then power
on and/or connect the power cable again.
Depending on the internet service provider (ISP), the
number of devices that can receive internet service
may be limited by the applicable terms of service. For
details, contact your ISP.

ured, some internet contents may not operate properly
because of internet congestion, the quality or band-
width of your internet service, or problems at the
provider of the content.
Some internet connection operations may not be possi-
ble due to certain restrictions set by the Internet service
provider (ISP) supplying your broadband Internet con-
nection.
Any fees charged by an ISP including, without limita-
tion, connection charges are your responsibility.
A10 Base-T or 100 Base-TX LAN port is required for
wired connection to this recorder. If your internet serv-
ice does not allow for such a connection, you will not
be able to connect the recorder.
You must use a Router to use xDSL service.

cies that are also used by other household devices
such as cordless telephone, Bluetooth® devices,
microwave oven, and can be affected by interference
from them.
Turn off all unused network equipment in your local
home network. Some devices may generate network
traffic.
For the purpose of better transmission, place the
recorder as close as possible to the access point.
In some instances, placing the access point or wireless
router at least 1.5 ft (0.45m) above the floor may
improve the reception.
Move closer to the access point if possible or re-orient
the recorder so there is nothing between it and the
access point.
The reception quality over wireless depends on many
factors such as type of the access point, distance
between the recorder and access point, and the loca-
tion of the recorder.
ADSL modem is required to use DSL service and a
cable modem is required to use cable modem service.
