Placement precautions

•Inadequate ventilation or proximity to a heat source will cause decreased performance and reliability. Although the HD DVR is designed to automatically power off in extreme heat conditions, adequate care must be taken to avoid excessive heat build up.

-Do not place the recorder on a soft surface, such as a rug and do not place on an uneven surface in which all four of the feet do not evenly support the recorder. Such improper placement may block the ventilation holes on the bottom of the recorder.

-Do not place the recorder in a confined space such as a bookshelf or similar unit.

-Do not place the recorder in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.

-This recorder will shut automatically to pro- tect the hard disk in extreme heat conditions.

•Do not place the recorder in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal or vertical position only.

•Keep the recorder away from the equipment with strong magnets, such as a microwave oven, large soundspeakers or other equipment.

•Keep the recorder away from liquid and moisture source such as kitchen sink, wash bowl, bath tub, shower, laundry tub or wet basement. Do not unplug with wet hand.

•Do not place heavy objects on the recorder.

•Do not place objects which may splash or drip liquids, such as plants or fountains, on or near the recorder.
