Make sure there is good air circulation
around the DVR.
This DVR uses an internal hard drive,
which generates heat during operation
for video storage. Do not block vents
on the DVR, as these vents reduce
the generated heat while the system
is running. Place this product in 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.
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.
