FCC Warnings

FCC

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two condi-

tions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any interfer-

ence received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

FCC Compliance Statement

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against frequency interference in residen-

tial installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not

installed or used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio commu-

nication. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in television reception, which

can be determined by turning the equipment off and on. The user is encouraged to try and correct the

interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

CAUTION

The Federal Communications Commission warns the user that changes or modications

to the unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the

user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Safety Instructions

Use the provided power adapter.

Do not use this product with a power source that applies more than the specied voltage.

Never insert metal into the DVR case or its openings.

Inserting metal into the DVR case may cause electric shock.

Do not operate in wet or dusty areas.

Avoid placing the DVR in areas such as a damp basement or dusty attic.

Do not expose the DVR to rain or use near water.

If the DVR accidentally gets wet, unplug it and contact technical support immediately.

Keep product surfaces clean and dry.

To clean the outside case of the DVR, use a lightly dampened cloth. Do not use cleaning solutions or

solvents.

Do not install near any heat sources.

Do not install the DVR near any heat sources such as stoves, heat registers, radiators, or electronics

(including ampliers) that produce heat.

Unplug the DVR when moving it.

Make sure that the DVR is unplugged before you move it. When moving this device, be sure to handle

it with care.

Make sure there is good air circulation around the DVR.

This DVR uses an internal hard drive, that generates heat during operation for video storage. Do not

block the vents on the DVR as these vents reduce the generated heat while the system is running.

Place this product in a well-ventilated area.

Do not attempt to remove the top cover.

If you observe any abnormal operation, unplug the DVR immediately and contact technical support. Do

not attempt to open the DVR to diagnose the cause of the problem. Removing the cover will void your

warranty.

Handle the DVR carefully.

If you drop the DVR on any hard surface, it may damage the device. If the DVR doesn’t work properly

due to physical damage, contact an authorized dealer for repair.

It is recommended to use your DVR with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

Connecting your DVR and cameras to a UPS allows continuous operation even during power outages.

The run-time duration will depend on the rating of the UPS used.

CAUTION

You may be subjected to severe electrical shock if you remove the cover of the DVR.
