TEST SESSIONS
Before you try to record important subjects, we highly recommend that you make several test
recording and playback sessions to ensure that the Digital Video Recorder is operating and being
operated correctly. Please note that the manufacturer, its subsidiaries and affiliates, and its
distributors are not liable for any consequential damages arising from any malfunction of a Digital
Video Recorder or its accessory, including the hard disk drive, which results in the failure of an image
to be recorded or to be recorded in a format that is machine sensible.
THE PRIVACY ACT OF 1974(5 U.S.C. § 552a)
Please note that Digital Video Recorders are intended for recording of surveillance use and should
never be used in a manner that invades other people’s privacy or contravenes international or
domestic privacy act and its regulations. Please be advised that in certain cases the recording of
individuals, private properties, or commercial properties by means of camera or other devices may
contravene legal rights of such individuals even if the images were recorded for personal use.

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.

MPEG-4 DVR

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.
CAUTION
•CAUTION “Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an Incorrect Type. Dispose of Used
Batteries According to the Instructions.
•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 110V-220V AC 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.
