1) Do not use wet hands or any damp objects to touch the power switch and network digital
video recorder (NVR), in order to avoid electric shock.
2) After installing the host, it must be ensured that the host and the chassis have grounded to
avoid the video, audio signal being disturbed, and to avoid NVR being damaged by static
electricity.

otherwise it can not perform the record and playback.
4) Host system supports format of the hard disk. If the hard disk has been used, please note
whether it is FAT32 format. The embedded network digital video recorder supports only
FAT32 format, otherwise there will be a hidden danger. Note: Please format hard disk when it
is the first time for you to use.
