- Do not subject the unit to any vibration and
shock.
- Do not remove the AC mains lead from the
household mains socket.
• The HDD is a temporary storage device
This unit cannot save (backup) the HDD titles to
media. You have to be very careful when
handling the unit and editing the title.
• If the HDD or USB HDD is damaged, the
recorded content cannot be recovered.
• Place the unit on a surface that is flat and
not subject to vibration or impact.
• Do not place on anything that generates heat
like a Set Top Box, etc.
• Place in an area where condensation does
not occur. Conditions where condensation
may occur

in the room.
In the above situation, without turning the unit
on, let the unit adjust to the room temperature
and wait 2–3 hours until condensation is gone.
