1.3 WARNINGS
POWER
➢Check mains rating before plugging the power unit in.
➢Do not pull the cord to unplug the device.
➢Switch the device off before unplugging power unit. This operation must not be performed when the NVR Boost is
recording or playing or when the configuration menu is open. Stop recordings and playback in progress before
disconnecting power from the device to prevent damaging the hard disk beyond repair.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
➢Keep the device away from rain and humidity to prevent the risk of fire and electrocution. Do not introduce material
(solid or liquid) inside. If this should accidentally occur, disconnect the device from the mains and have it inspected
by qualified personnel.
➢Never open the device. In all cases, contact a qualified personnel or authorized service centre for repairs.
➢Keep the device away from children to prevent accidental damage.
➢Do not touch the device with wet hands to prevent electrical shock or mechanical damage.
➢Do not use the device if it should fall or the external casing is damaged. Risk of electrocution if the device is used
in such conditions. Contact the retailer or authorized installer.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
➢To prevent overheating the device, arrange it in a position allowing the flow of air through the slots in the casing.
Ensure at least 5 cm of free space when installing inside a rack. For the same reason, do not install sources of
heat, such as radiators or hot air ducts. Keep away from direct sunlight. Do not install in areas subject to excessive
dust, mechanical vibrations or shocks.
➢Do not arrange this device on an unstable surface, such as a tottering or slanted table. The device could fall causing
injury or mechanical failures.
➢Do not install the device in a place where it could be exposed to humidity or water. Do not direct a jet of water onto
the device: risk of fire, electrocution or mechanical failure.
➢Stop using the device if water or other material should penetrate inside: risk of fire and electrocution. Contact the
retailer or authorized installer.
➢Do not place heavy or heat generating objects on top of the device: this could damage the casing and/or increase
internal temperature causing faults.
➢Do not cover the device with a cloth while it is running to prevent deforming the external casing and overheating
the internal parts: risk of fire, electrocution and mechanical failure.
➢Keep magnets and magnetised objects away from the device to prevent faults.
➢Do not use the device in presence of smoke, vapour, humidity, dust or intense vibrations.
➢Wait for a while before operating a device immediately after transporting it from a cold place to a warm place and
vice versa. Wait on average for three hours: this will allow the device to adapt to the new ambient (temperature,
humidity, etc.).
CLEANING THE DEVICE
➢Rub delicately with a dry cloth to remove dust and dirt.
➢Dip the cloth in neutral detergent if dirt cannot be removed with a dry cloth alone.
➢Do not use volatile liquids (such a petrol, alcohol, solvents, etc.) or chemically treated clothes to clean the device
to prevent deformation, deterioration or scratches to the paint finish.
HARD DISK
➢The hard disk installed in this device is sensitive to shocks, differences in temperature and vibrations. Failure to
respect these precautions can compromise correct operation of the device and cause loss of data stored on the
hard disk.
➢If repairs are required, it is advisable to backup all important data before taking the device to the service centre.
Urmet S.p.A. is not liable for loss of stored data.
➢The addition of a hard disk must be performed by qualified technical personnel or by contacting the technical
assistance service.
IMAGE RECORDING
➢This device was designed to record images, not as a burglar alarm. Please note that URMET S.p.A. is not liable
for loss of stored data consequent to loss or damage caused by incorrect observation installation, use, improper
use or malfunctioning of the device.
➢Test recording before using the device to make sure that is working correctly. Please note that Urmet S.p.A. is not
liable for loss of stored data consequent to loss or damage caused by incorrect installation, use, improper use or
malfunctioning of the device.
➢This device contains precision electronic components. Protect the device from shocks to ensure correct recording
of images.
