Concerning The Internal Hard Disk Drive; Installing Or Replacing The Hard Disk Drive - LG LE2116D Owner's Manual

Concerning the Internal Hard
Disk Drive
The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is a fragile piece
of equipment. Please follow the guidelines below
when using the DVR to protect against possible HDD
failure.
We recommend that you back up your important
recordings onto an external backup device in order to
prevent accidental loss.
Make sure that the power is turned OFF when attach-
ing or removing the HDD.
• Do not move the DVR while the power is on.
• Do not use the DVR in excessively hot or humid
places, or in places that may be subject to sudden
changes in temperature. Sudden changes in tem-
perature can cause condensation to form inside the
DVR. This can be a cause of HDD failure.
• While the DVR is switched on, do not unplug from
the wall socket or switch the electricity off from the
breaker switch.
• If there's a power failure while the DVR is on there
is a chance that some data on the HDD will be lost.
• Do not drop the HDD. Also do not put the metallic
object such as coins or screwdrivers into the HDD
tray.
• When a power failure occurs during recording,
avoid adding, replacing or transporting the HDD as
the recorded data may be erased. In this case, turn
the power back on to boot up the unit normally with
the HDD that was being used at the time of the
power failure attached. Then add, replace, or trans-
port the HDD.
• The HDD is very delicate. Handle the HDD with
care and follow the precautions below because
even a small shock may damage the internal com-
ponents of the HDD.
- Do not place the HDD on a desk or a table
directly. Put a thick cushion under the HDD
because even a small shock may damage the
internal components of the HDD.
- Do not use an electric screwdriver. Vibrations
and shocks caused by an electric screwdriver
may damage the internal components of the
HDD.
- When replacing the HDD, do not knock the HDD
with other components such as another HDD and
the HDD tray.
- Do not knock the HDD with tools such as a driver
when replacing the HDD.
• Protect the hard disk drives from static electricity.
