12. Servicing
Do not attempt to service this equipment yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
13. Damage Requiring Service
Unplug this equipment from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
① When the power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged.
② If liquid is spilled or objects have fallen into the equipment.
③ If the equipment has been exposed to rain or water.
④ If the equipment does not operate normally by following the operating instructions, adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the equipment to its normal operation.
⑤ If the equipment has been dropped or damaged the cabinet.
⑥ When the equipment exhibits a distinct change in performance—this indicates a need for service.
14. Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, ensure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or
that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.

DISPOSEZ DE BATTERIES EN ACCORS AVEC LES INSTRUCTIONS
18. Operating Temperature
An operating temperature range is specified so that the customer and installer may determine a suitable operating
environment for the equipment.
19. Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the
specified operating temperature range.
20. Reduced Air Flow
Installation of the equipment in the rack should be such that the amount of airflow required for safe operation of the equipment
is not compromised.
21. Mechanical Loading
Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not caused by uneven mechanical loading.
22. Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to connection of the equipment to supply circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits might
have on over-current protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used
when addressing this concern.
23. Grounding (Earthing)
Connection of ground wire is highly recommended to protect the DVR from external electric shock, such as lightning, electrical
surge.

Mandatory Setup & Operation Precautions
STEP 1. Date / Time Configuration (‘before’ HDD(s) installation)
Plug a network cable, if any.
Turn on the DVR and press ‘OK’ on no HDD(s) detection message.
Go to SETUP>SYSTEM>General>Setup.
Check on ‘NTP Setup’ box, and then select your ‘Time Zone’.
Select DST (Daylight Saving Time) ‘On’ or ‘Off’ accordingly.
When the DVR has no internet connection, adjust Date/Time manually. Otherwise the DVR will adjust the correct time
every hour automatically.
Click/Select ‘EXIT’ on your right and top corner.
Turn off the DVR for Step 2 (HDD(s) installation).
STEP 2. HDD(s) Installation / Addition / Moving / Replacement / Removal
HDD(s) Installation/Addition: Make sure the DVR is turned off. Connect a power cable and a SATA cable from DVR’s
main board to HDD(s). Use SATA port #1 (written on the board) for the first HDD and in order. Power the DVR on and
follow the screen. DVR starts recording. No rebooting required.
HDD(s) Removal: Make sure the DVR is turned off. Disconnect a power and a SATA cable from DVR’s main board to
HDD(s). Power the DVR on and follow the screen. (You may leave SATA port #1 unused when you removed the
attached #1 HDD.)
HDD(s) Selection: Even most of HDDs are compat ble with DVRs; suggested HDD list is available by request.
Power Off
Do not turn DVR off, or plug off the power adapter while DVR is in operations (record/playback). It may cause permanent
damage to the equipment. Please Click () Shutdown on System Menu Bar and then UNPLUG the power cable after
DVR is shut down completely. It is safe to wait for 5 seconds before turning the power on again.
(‘Shut Down’ by DVR’s menu selection does NOT physically power off the machine. Please physically unplug the power
cable from the DVR to completely turn off.)
Do not turn off External storage device (e.g., USB memory stick (powered), removable external hard disk, and similar)
while the DVR is on. It may cause permanent damage to the equipment. When you have to turn off external storage
device, make sure the DVR is turned off. When you turn those on, turn on external storage first and then DVR. (you may
unplug simple USB thumb drive freely unless it is in archiving process)
Do not turn DVR off, or plug off the power adapter when the DVR is formatting an HDD(s). It may cause permanent
damage to the equipment. Make sure the power is “ON” until the formatting of an HDD is completed. (note, a DVR
formats HDD(s) in seconds)
Monitor resolution
For the best picture display, a DVR’s local monitor output has a default resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. If your attached
monitor does not support 1080p resolution, and you cannot see any picture, please change the DVR’s resolution to the
lowest as following.
The lowest resolution (1024x768) Hot Keys: Use your ‘Remote Controller’ (It comes with a DVR)
Press followings in order one by one. REW>FF>BACKWARD>FORWARD
The resolution should be changed to 1024x768.
Default Password
For all (DVRs and Software) default password is 1111 (four 1(one)s).
For your protection, it is strongly recommended to change. Computer-like passwords are supported.
Upgrade
You may upgrade a DVR when the HDDs are added properly.
Contact your dealer/technical support when you need a help on updating.
NOTE
E, F and J Type DVRs can detect 1080i, 1080p or 720p HD-SDI signals. If a user connects cameras before the booting, each
signal is automatically detected and recognized (Auto Detection).
