• Do not drop metallic parts through slots. This could permanently damage the Digital Video Recorder. Immediately turn off the unit or

unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Contact a qualified service personnel authorized by your equipment distributor

• Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that is not expressly mentioned or instructed in this guide.

Disassembly or alteration may result in high voltage electrical shock. Qualified service personnel authorized by your equipment

distributor should conduct appropriate inspections, alterations and repairs.

• Stop operating the equipment immediately if it emits smoke or noxious fumes. Failure to do so may result in fire or electrical shock.

Immediately turn off the unit, remove the power cable from the power outlet. Confirm that smoke and fume emissions have ceased.

Please consult your DVR distributor.

• Stop operating the equipment if a heavy object is dropped or the casing is damaged. Do not strike or shake. Failure to do so may

flush with water any area of the body, including the eyes and mouth, or clothing that comes into contact with the inner contents of

the battery. If the eyes or mouth contact these substances, immediately flush with water and seek medical assistance from a medical

professional.

• Avoid dropping or subjecting the batteries to severe impacts that could damage the casings. It could lead to leakage and injury.
