SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Before using the Digital Video Recorder, please ensure that you read and understand the safety precautions
described below. Always ensure that the Digital Video Recorder is operated correctly.
2. The safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to instruct you in the safe and correct
operation of the DVR and its accessories to prevent injuries or damage to the self, other persons and
equipment.
3. In this Instruction Manual, the term “DVR”, “equipment” and “device” refers primarily to the Digital Video
Recorder and its accessories such as power supply and its remote controller.
WARNING
1. Do not cover the ventilation opening or slots on the outer casing. To prevent the DVR from overheating,
provide at least two inches of air space around the vent and the slots.
2. Do not drop metallic parts through slots. This could permanently damage the Digital Video Recorder.
Immediately turn the DVR’s power off or unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Contact a qualified
service personnel authorized by the equipment distributor.
3. Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that is not expressly described in this guide.
Disassembly or alteration may result in high voltage electrical shock. Internal inspections, alterations and
repairs should be conducted by qualified service personnel authorized by the equipment distributor.
4. Stop operating the equipment immediately if it emits smoke or noxious fumes. Failure to do so may result in
fire or electrical shock. Immediately turn the DVR’s power off, remove the power cable from the power outlet.
Confirm that smoke and fume emissions have ceased. Please consult the DVR distributor.
5. Stop operating the equipment if a heavy object is dropped or the casing is damaged. Do not strike or shake.
Failure to do so may result in fire or electrical shock. Immediately turn the DVR’s power off or unplug the
power cord from the power outlet. Please consult the DVR distributor.
6. Do not allow the equipment come into contact with, or become immersed in, water or other liquids. Do not
allow liquids to enter the interior. The DVR has not been waterproofed. If the exterior comes into contact
with liquids or salt air, wipe it dry with a soft, absorbent cloth. In the event that the water or other foreign
substances enter the interior, immediately turn the DVR’s Power off or unplug the power cord from the power
outlet. Continued use of the equipment may result in fire or electrical shock. Please consult the DVR
distributor.
7. Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzene, thinners or other flammable substances to clean or
maintain the equipment. The use of these substances may lead to fire. Use a dry cloth on a regular periodic
basis and wipe away the dust and dirt that collects on the device. In dusty, humid or greasy environments,
the dust that collects around the ventilation or the slots on the outer casing over long periods of time may
become saturated with humidity and short-circuit, leading to fire.
8. Do not cut, damage, alter or place heavy items on the power cord. Any of these actions may cause an
electrical short circuit, which may lead to fire or electrical shock.
9. Do not handle the device or power cord if the hands are wet. Handling it with wet hands may lead to
electrical shock. When unplugging the cord, ensure that you hold the solid portion of the plug. Pulling on the
flexible portion of the cord may damage or expose the wire and insulation, creating the potential for fires or
electrical shocks.
10. Use only the recommended power accessories. Use of power sources not expressly recommended for this
equipment may lead to overheating, distortion of the equipment, fire, electrical shock or other hazards.
11. Do not place the battery near a heat source or expose it to direct flame or heat. Neither should you immerse
them in water. Such exposure may damage the battery and lead to the leakage of corrosive liquids, fire,
electrical shock, explosion or serious injury.
12. Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the battery. There is serious risk of injury due to an
explosion. Immediately flush with water any area of the body, or clothing that comes into contact with the
inner contents of the battery. If the eyes or mouth contact these substances, immediately flush with water
and seek medical assistance from a medical professional.
13. Avoid dropping or subjecting the battery to severe impacts that could damage the casings. It could lead to
leakage and injury.
14. Do not short-circuit the battery terminals with metallic objects, such as key holders. It could lead to
overheating, burns and other injuries.
15. The supplied power supply and power cord are designed for exclusive use with the Digital Video Recorder.
Do not use it with other products or battery. There is a risk of fire and other hazards.
16. This equipment is intended for indoor use. All the communication wiring are limited to inside of the
building or similar texts.

CAUTION
•CAUTION “Risk explosion if replaced with a battery of an incorrect type. Dispose of used
batteries according to instructions.
•The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
•Avoid using, placing or storing the equipment in places subject to strong sunlight or high
temperatures, such as the greenhouse or trunk of a car. Exposure to intense sunlight and heat
may cause the battery to leak, overheat or explode, resulting in fire, burns or other injuries. High
temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing. Ensure that there is good ventilation
when using the equipment.
•Do not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas. Storage in such areas could lead to fire,
electrical shock or other damage.
•Do not operate the DVR beyond its specified temperature, humidity or power source ratings. Do
not use the DVR in an extreme environment such as in high temperature or high humidity. Use
the device at temperatures within 41°F - 104°F and humidity below 90 %. The normal operating
power source for this device is DC 12V 5A. (50/60Hz)
PREVENTING MALFUNCTION
•Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields. Never place the DVR in close proximity to electric motors or other
equipment generating strong electromagnetic fields. Exposures to strong magnetic fields may
cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.
•Avoid Condensation Related Problems. Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold
temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its external and internal
surfaces. You can avoid this by placing the equipment in an airtight, resalable plastic bag and
letting it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag.
•If Condensation forms inside the Digital Video Recorder. Stop using the equipment immediately if
you detect condensation. Continued use may damage the equipment. Remove the power cord
from the power outlet and wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.
