Precautions for Proper Use of this Product

Locations of Storage and Use

Do not place this product at the following locations.

Doing so may cause this product to malfunction or break down.

●Hot or cold places beyond the allowable operating temperature range (5I to 40I)

●Humid places beyond the allowable operating humidity range (30%RH to 80%RH) (no condensation)

●Places that emit a strong magnetic field, such as near transformers and motors

●Places near devices that emit radio waves, such as transceivers and mobile phones

●Places with considerable dust and sand

●Places with strong vibrations

●Places where water droplets may be formed, such as window sides

●Places with considerable vapor and oil, such as kitchens

●Places that emit radiation, X-rays, and corrosive gases

Using this unit and the cable that is connected to it near places where strong radio waves or magnetic fields (such as near radios, TVs, transformers, and monitors) are emitted may cause noises in the video images or color changes.

Handling Precautions

Do not stack the devices on one another during use.

Heat and noise from the devices may cause the unit to malfunction or break down, and lead to fire.

Do not block the ventilation holes.

Doing so may cause heat to trap inside the unit and result in fire. Do not use this unit by laying it down sideways, upside down, or at an angle.

Do not place objects on this unit.

Placing heavy objects, such as TV monitors, or objects that are bigger in size on this unit may cause it to lose balance and drop or fall, hence resulting in injuries.

Do not stand or sit on this unit.

Doing so may cause this unit to fall or break down, and result in injuries. Keep it out of the reach of young children.

Do not place objects with water (e.g., vases, flower pots, cups, cosmetic products, and chemicals) on this unit.

Water may enter this unit through the ventilation holes and result in fire or electric shock.

Do not insert objects into this unit.

Metallic or other flammable objects that enter this unit from the ventilation holes may result in fire or electric shock.

Precautions for Handling Hard Disk Drive

The distance between the head and the disk is only about 0.02 μ m when the hard disk (henceforth HDD) is reading the data. Vibration or impact that is exerted on the HDD may therefore cause the head to hit against the disk, hence causing the disk surface to dent or the disk to chip. When this occurs, data may not be properly read, or in a worse scenario, continued use in this condition may result in head crash (damage). Careful attention must therefore be paid when handling it.

Precautions During Installation and Change of Installation Location

Moving of this unit or installation work is strictly prohibited when the power of this unit is on or immediately after the power is turned off (approximately 1 minute). The HDD continues to move under its own inertia for some time after the power is disconnected, and exertion of vibration or impact during this interval may result in HDD failure. When moving this unit, wrap it using cushioning materials to protect it from external shock.

Handling Precautions

●Handle this unit carefully without exerting vibration or impact on it.

●Do not remove the power plug during recording or playback, or when the HDD is being accessed.

●The HDD is a consumable product. Although it may vary according to the environment of use, it is recommended to replace the HDD after using for 18,000 hours in a surrounding temperature of 25I. (However, this is only a reference time and not a quaranty for HDD life span. ) For inquiries on maintenance plans and expenses, consult your nearest JVC dealers.

When installing an external hard disk, we recommend the use of UPS (uninterruptible power supply) to ensure the stable operation of the system. [Connecting a UPS]

(A Page 136)

Power failure that occurs during formatting or disconnection of the HDD may affect its subsequent use even when the UPS is connected.

JVC shall not be held responsible for the compensation of losses incurred in the event that recording or playback fails due to defects in this unit or its hard disk drive.

Images recorded on the HDD will be deleted when you replace it with a new disk. Note also that recorded images may be deleted when you upgrade the software for this unit.

Clock

Use of a time server is recommended to ensure recording at an accurate time.

There may be a daily error of 10 to 20 seconds depending on the operating environment.

The clock time may vary significantly when the lithium battery level used for backup in this unit is running low.

Connect the time server to the LAN2 network.
