Getting Started
Locations of Storage and Use
ⅷ 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
ⅷ 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
ⅷ 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.
ⅷ 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.
ⅷ 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.
ⅷ 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.
ⅷ 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.
ⅷ 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
ⅷ 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.
ⅷ Precautions During Installation and Change of Installation
Location
The drive unit must not be moved or installed when the
power is on or within about one minute after the power is
turned off (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.
ⅷ 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. Perform
maintenance after it has been used for about 10,000
hours (about 1 year). (This value is based on its use in
an environment with a temperature of 25I, and may
vary according to the environment of use.) For
inquiries on maintenance plans and expenses, consult
the dealer from which this product is purchased, or any
of the nearby JVC dealers on the separate list of
servicing centers.
ⅷ 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 128)
ⅷ Power failure that occurs during formatting or
disconnection of the HDD may affect its subsequent use
even when the UPS is connected.
ⅷ 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.
ⅷ 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
ⅷ Use of an external NTP server is recommended to ensure
recording at an accurate time.
ⅷ There may be a daily error of 10 to 20 seconds depending
on the operating environment.
ⅷ The clock time may vary significantly when the lithium
battery level used for backup in this unit is running low.
