SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•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.
•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.
•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
•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.
•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 or a NUVICO customer help desk.
•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
or NUVICO customer help desk.
•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 or the
closest NUVICO customer help desk.
•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 or the closest NUVICO
customer help desk.
•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 or the closest NUVICO
customer help desk.

•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.
•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.
•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.
•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.
•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.
•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.
•Avoid dropping or subjecting the battery to severe impacts that could damage the
casings. It could lead to leakage and injury.
•Do not short-circuit the battery terminals with metallic objects, such as key
holders. It could lead to overheating, burns and other injuries.
•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
•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.
•Fully charge up the backup battery prior to operation. Keep the Digital Video
Recorder turned on or connected to a power outlet for at least 24 hours to
recharge the backup battery. This procedure is necessary when using the DVR
for the first time or after it has been unplugged for a long time from the power
outlet. Insufficient charging of the battery may cause loss of the time and date
settings if the power supply should fail. The battery, when fully charged, will
store the saved settings for approximately 170 hours.
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.
