Safety First

Please read this 'guide' carefully before using your DVR and keep it for future reference.
Operation Requirement
Install the DVR indoors in normal living space.
⚫
Do not install the DVR in a place exposed to direct sunlight, near a heat source, or in
⚫
very cold conditions.
Keep the DVR away from dampness, high humidity, dust or soot.
⚫
Keep the DVR installed horizontally in a stable place to prevent it from falling.
⚫
Do not drop or splash liquid onto the DVR, and make sure there is no object filled with
⚫
liquid on the DVR to prevent liquid from flowing into the DVR.
Install the DVR in a well-ventilated place, and do not block the ventilation of the DVR.
⚫
Operate the DVR within the range of power input and output (according to rating
⚫
labels).
Do not dissemble the DVR.
⚫
Electrical Safety
There is a CR1220 button cell on the PCB for providing back up power to maintain
⚫
date and time etc. This will last for a long time, but when it comes time to replace it,
replace with a reputable brand battery and ensure it is replaced in correct polarity (+
up).
Please recycle exhausted batteries. Do not dispose to unsorted waste. Button cells
⚫
can be lethal if swallowed, always keep them securely and out of reach of children and
pets.
Use only the 12V (SELV) power adapter provided with the DVR. Using an incorrectly
⚫
specified adapter will invalidate your warranty and may present a risk of electric shock
and fire.
Do not remove or destroy the rating label(s) on the product; they contain vital safety
⚫
information and data that is needed for aftersales support.
