2. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
•
The supplied power supply cord is designed for exclusive use with the Digital Video Recorder. Never use it
with other equipment.
•
It is recommended that the Recorder be always used in locations where the ambient temperature ranges
from +5°C to +40°C (41°F to 104°F) and humidity levels of less than 80% to ensure that no condensation is
formed.
•
When moving the Recorder, first disconnect its power supply plug from the AC outlet and then wait at least
30 seconds before moving.
•
Avoid moving the Recorder suddenly from a cold location to a warm location, or installing it in close
proximity to an air-conditioner outlet, as internal condensation could result. When condensation occurs, do
not switch on the power until the Recorder has sufficiently dried. Also, when brought into a warm room from
the cold outdoors, be sure to leave it unused for at least half a day before using it.
•
Be sure to clean the ventilation slots periodically. (Annual cleaning is recommended.)
•
When cleaning the Recorder, be sure to switch off the power. Wipe with a soft dry cloth. If it gets very dirty,
use the soft cloth slightly moistened in neutral cleanser. Never use volatile spirits like thinner, benzine, or
alcohol. Such chemicals may damage its plastic surface.
•
Avoid installing the unit in close proximity to walls. The temperature inside the unit may rise, possibly
resulting in unit failure. (Install the unit at least 100 mm (3.9 inch) away from the nearest wall surface.)
•
Since the Recorder is equipped with a cooling fan, a motor sound is generated. Avoid installing the Digital
Video Recorder in locations which resonate electrical motor noise.
•
Do not install the Recorder in locations influenced by strong electrical or magnetic fields, as monitor screen
pictures may become distorted or the Recorder could fail.
•
The Recorder can be used only in a commercial and industrial area. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause radio disturbance and TV interference.
•
Avoid jarring or striking the Recorder. The Recorder is a piece of precision equipment and accidentally
dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts could cause its failure. When transporting the Recorder,
carefully pack it in the supplied carton to protect it from shock.
•
Avoid using the Recorder in locations exposed to vibration. The Recorder is a piece of precision equipment,
as this may cause the unit malfunction.
•
Avoid installing the Recorder vertically or tilting it at extreme angles, since it is designed to be used in a
horizontal position only.
•
About the hard disks
• If the hard disk fails, recorded data cannot be restored.
• Save important recordings to DVD-R disk.
• Recordings copied from video images or video recordings with registered copyrights may not be used for
commercial purposes other than for private use without express permission from the copyright holder.
•
TOA takes no responsibility for any incidental damage, such as loss of sales opportunities, that may result.
•
Avoid using the camera in line-locked mode. Failure to do so may cause the displayed camera images to
flicker. Also, video may be lost if power frequency fluctuates significantly.
