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.
• Do not place on top of the TV.
