Installation Guidelines; Front Panel Of The Dvr - Swann Digital Video Recorder Manual

English
• Do not expose the DVR to moisture. Water is
the arch-enemy of electrical components and
also poses a high risk of electric shock.
• Avoid dusty locations. Dust has a tendency to
build up inside the DVR case, leading to a high
risk of failure or even fire.
• Only install the DVR in a well ventilated
space. Like all electronics, the circuitry and hard
drive in the DVR produce heat, and this heat
needs a way out.
• Do not open the DVR case except to install/
swap the hard drive inside. There are no user
serviceable parts inside.
• Never open the case whilst the DVR is
plugged in, and never turn the DVR on whilst
the case is open.

5) Select: As the name suggests, it selects an option or item
from a menu.
6) D-pad: For navigating around menus when you're not using
the mouse. (Why aren't you using the mouse? It's awesome.)
7) Power LED: Will be lit whenever the DVR is supplied power
and turned on.
8) HDD LED: Will flash whenever the DVR is writing to/reading
from the installed hard drive.
Use only the supplied power adapter. Other
adapters may cause damage to the DVR or
cause a fire.
Do not cut or modify any cable for any reason.
Doing so will void your warranty, as well as pose
a great risk of fire or electrical shock.
Do not expose the DVR to sudden bumps or
shocks (for example, being dropped). The DVR
is as robust as possible, but many of the internal
components are quite fragile.
Remember that the DVR is, in all likelihood,
going to be left on 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week. Keep this in mind when choosing a
location for installation.
