precautions to avoid injury and prevent damage to the MICRO-D or any products connected to it.
1. Use a correct power source. Do not connect this product to a power source that supplies more
than the specified voltage (DC12V), as this will cause damage to the unit.
2. Never insert anything metallic into the MICRO-D as this can cause electric shock.
3. Do not operate in wet & dusty conditions. Keep product surfaces clean and dry. Avoid placing the
MICRO-D in areas like a damp basement or a dusty hallway.
4. Do not expose this product to rain or use near water. If the product gets wet, unplug it and
contact an authorized dealer immediately.
5. To clean the outside case of the MICRO-D, use a lightly dampened cloth (no solvents).
6. Do not operate if you suspected to unit is faulty. If there are any unusual sounds or smells
coming from the MICRO-D, immediately unplug it and contact an authorized dealer or service
centre.
7. Do not attempt to remove the top cover.
8. Warning: Removing the MICRO-D’s cover can cause an electrical shock.
9. Handle MICRO-D carefully to avoid damaging the product. Dropping your MICRO-D on any hard
surface may cause the unit to malfunction. If the MICRO-D does not work properly due to
physical damage, contact an authorized dealer for repair or exchange.
10.The unit has a lithium battery preinstalled.
The standard lithium cell 3V battery located on the motherboard should be replaced if the time
clock does not hold its time after the power is turned off.
Warning:
Unplug the MICRO-D before replacing battery or you may be subjected to severe electrical shock.
Properly dispose of old batteries.
Caution:
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Do not discard lithium batteries into the
trash can or into fire. Dispose in accordance with local waste regulations.
Information to user
The user’s manual or instruction manual for an intentional or unintentional radiator shall caution the
user that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

OVERVIEW ON SET-UP PROCEDURES
Below is an overview of the MICRO-D installation procedures, (A detailed explanation is found in
Chapter 5 - Hardware Installation.)
(1) Insert a SD MEMORY.
(2) Connect MICRO-D to a TV set or MONITOR.
(3) Connect camera to MICRO-D
(4) Connect optional accessories (sensors or alarm).
(6) Connect the power.
(7) Turn the power on.
(8) Start TV Monitoring and recording.
GeneralOperatingAdvice:
●Make sure that a SD Memory is inserted and one camera is properly connected.
(See Chapter 5 -Hardware Installation)
●The SD Memory Format setting must be set (Refer to Chapter 5 – SD Memory Installation for more
information.) Otherwise, MICRO-D may not recognize the SD Memory.
●The firmware used in MICRO-D is compatible with your computer’s operating system (i.e. Windows).
Therefore, you can take the SD memory card from this MICRO-D and install it in your computer to view
recorded video. (Refer to the PC Viewer manual.)
●MICRO-D offers you the flexibility to choose a recording frame rate (maximum rate: 30 frames per second).
A faster frame rate provides more natural video images in recorded video files. However, it requires more SD
Memory storage. You may reduce the frame rate (minimum rate: 1 frame per second) to fit longer recording
sessions in consideration of your SD card capacity.
●If a camera is normally connected to MICRO-D, it enters the default operational state: VIEW mode. In this
mode, MICRO-D does not record nor play the recorded stream. It just shows the current images from camera
connected to MICRO-D.
●The default values of MICRO-D for recording are set up at 30 frames per second with High video quality.
If you use 1GB SD Memory, MICRO-D can record approximately for 2 hours in a row.
●There is an exception to entering the VIEW mode at start up. If the power is abnormally turned off while
MICRO-D is performing emergency recording (i.e. a power failure), it will enter recording mode automatically
when you reboot MICRO-D.
Refer to Chapter 5 - Hardware Installation for more information on installation procedures.

SD MEMORY INSTALLATION
①Format SD Memory
Insert SD memory into SD card slot on your PC and format it
in FAT32.
※In case there is no card slot on your PC, use additional
memory reader device.
②Insert SD Memory into SD slot
on MICRO-D After formatting, take SD Memory from your PC and insert it
into SD slot on MICRO-D.
③Backup recorded files in SD Memory
When SD Memory storage is full, the recorded files can be
backed up in your PC. Insert SD card in your PC and move
the files of SD card into the HDD of our PC. You can also
check each recorded file through Micro D Player.
CONNECTING MICRO-D TO YOUR TV SET OR MONITOR
①Video Input/Output Connection (For TV / monitor screen display)
To display images from the MICRO-D, connect the video output signal to your MONITOR or TELEVISION.
Any Television with a VIDEO INPUT terminal is suitable for displaying the images. The diagram above
shows the video signal connections.
Connect the CAMERA to VIDEO-IN terminal of AV-IN connector; connect the MONITOR to VIDEO OUT
terminal of AV-OUT connector.
Note: The RCA cable required for this connection is not supplied with the MICRO-D.

12
MICRO-D Full Manual V.1.2
②Audio Input/Output Connection (For TV / monitor speaker)
``
Connect the microphone to AUDIO-IN terminal of AV-IN connector; connect the speaker to AUDIO OUT
terminal of AV-OUT connector.
Note: The RCA cable required for this connection is not supplied with the MICRO-D.
※SanDisk SD cards have been tested and proved to be compatible with MICRO-D. The
compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed.
Recommended SD Cards:
- SD/SDHC: SanDisk 4GB/ 8GB/ 16GB/ 32GB
※During EVENT Recording(Motion, Alarm) with 16GB, 32GB SD/SDHC Card,
SD/SDHC memory cannot be fully used if number of saved files is more than 2000.
Attention
Do not take out the SD card or turn off MICRO-D while it is in record mode. It may damage SD card.
When in record mode, turn off SD power by first pressing recording button for 3 seconds and then take
the SD card out.

MICRO-D Full Manual V.1.2
ALARM INSTALLATION
The MICRO-D has an internal switch for sounding an alarm. When a sensor is triggered, the alarm is
activated as well.
There are two steps to install an alarm.
1. Connect the alarm power lines to the alarm switch terminal.
2. Connect the alarm power lines to the appropriate power source.
Refer to the diagram below for information on how to connect an alarm to your MICRO-D.
Note: Contact an authorized dealer for information about buying the appropriate alarm device for your
needs and for information concerning proper installation procedures.
