BEFORE USE
Notes on handling the internal HDD
This digital video recorder uses an internal hard disk drive
(HDD).
Be sure to observe the following points carefully when
operating, setting-up, or servicing the digital video
recorder.
Do not subject the digital video recorder to
sudden impact or vibration.
If the digital video recorder is subjected to sudden impact
or vibration, it may damage the HDD or cause corruption of
the data stored within it.
z
Do not move the digital video recorder while the power
is turned on. Always ensure that the power is turned off
before removing the digital video recorder from or
placing it in a rack.
z
When transporting the digital video recorder, pack it
securely using the specified materials. In addition,
choose a method of transportation that minimizes
vibration.
z
When placing the digital video recorder on the floor or
another similar surface, attach the specified pads to its
base and place it down gently.
Do not move the digital video recorder for 30
seconds after turning off the power.
After the power is turned off, the disk inside the HDD will
continue to spin for a brief period due to inertia, and the
heads will be in an unstable condition.
During this period, the digital video recorder is even more
susceptible to damage from sudden impact and vibration
than when it is turned on. Make sure that the digital video
recorder is not subjected to even gentle vibration for at
least 30 seconds after turning off the power.
Do not operate the digital video recorder when
condensation has formed on it.
If the digital video recorder is operated in this type of
condition, there is a possibility that it will be permanently
damaged.
If the temperature around the digital video recorder
changes suddenly, wait for it to stabilize before operating
the digital video recorder.
Notes on replacing the HDD
Be sure to follow the correct procedure when replacing the
HDD.
z
HDDs that have been removed from their packing may
not operate correctly if they are subjected to sudden
impact or vibration. It is recommended that you place
the HDD on a soft, level surface with the printed circuit
board facing upward after it has been unpacked.
z
Take care to avoid subjecting the HDD to sudden
impact or vibration when removing and tightening
screws as part of the HDD replacement procedure.
Tighten all screws securely to ensure that they do not
loosen.
z
The HDD is sensitive to static electricity; accordingly,
you should take the appropriate precautions to prevent
the buildup of static charges.
Handling a detached HDD unit
If transporting or storing the HDD unit in a detached condition,
be sure to first of all pack it using the specified materials.
In addition, choose a method of transportation that
minimizes vibration.
Notes on installation locations
The hard disk is sensitive to dust, sudden impact, and
vibration; furthermore, it should not be used near magnetic
objects. The following precautions should be observed in
order to prevent the loss of recorded data:
z
Do not subject the digital video recorder to sudden
impact.
z
Do not use the digital video recorder on a vibrating or
unstable surface.
z
Do not disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet
during recording or playback.
z
Do not use the digital video recorder in areas with extreme
temperature changes (i.e., 10ºC or more per hour).
z
Condensation may occur if the digital video recorder is
moved to an area with a significantly different
temperature or high humidity. If the digital video
recorder is used while condensation is present inside it,
operating problems may occur.
z
Do not install the digital video recorder inside motor
vehicles, trains, or other areas under constant vibration.
z
The digital video recorder has ventilation holes on its
left, rear, and bottom panels. Ensure that these holes
are not blocked after installation.
z
Do not use the digital video recorder in a bookshelf,
box, or any other area with poor ventilation.
z
This digital video recorder is designed for use in a
horizontal orientation, and vertical setup may result in
malfunction.
z
When installing the digital video recorder in a rack,
ensure that a gap of at least 5 cm is provided at the top
and bottom.
