Technical Manual

FOR YOUR SAFETY

To prevent damage to your Q-See product or injury to yourself or to others, read and understand the

following safety precautions in their entirety before installing or using this equipment. Keep these safety

instructions where all those who use the product will read them.

nCheck the unit and any accessories included in the package immediately after opening. If items are

missing or damaged, repackage and return to the point of purchase.

Use the proper power source. Only use the power adapter supplied with your system. Do not use

this product with a power source that applies more than the speciﬁed voltage (100-240V AC).

nNever insert anything metallic into the DVR. Inserting anything into the DVR or its case can be a

source of dangerous electric shock.

nDo not operate in dusty areas. Avoid placing the DVR in places that are dusty.

nDo not expose this product to rain or use near water. If this product accidentally gets wet, unplug it

and contact Q-See immediately.

nKeep product surfaces clean and dry. To clean the outside case of the DVR, gently wipe using a

lightly dampened cloth (only use water, do not use solvents).

nDo not operate this DVR without the cover securely in place. Do not attempt to do any repairs to the

DVR yourself. If there are unusual sounds or smells coming from the DVR, unplug it immediately and

contact Q-See technical support. Under no circumstances should the cover be removed while the

device is connected to a power source. You should only remove the cover to install/replace the hard

disk drive (Covered in Section A.2 of the Appendix) or replace the standard 3v lithium cell battery

on the motherboard. These are the only user serviceable parts. You may need to replace the battery

if the internal clock resets itself after a power outage

nHandle the DVR carefully. If you accidentally drop your DVR on any hard surface, it may cause a

malfunction. If the DVR doesn’t work properly due to physical damage, contact an authorized dealer

for repair or exchange. Damage caused by mishandling is not covered in the warranty.

nMake sure there is proper air circulation around the unit. This DVR system uses a hard drive for video

storage which generates heat during operation. Do not block air holes located on the bottom, top,

sides and back of the DVR as they are designed to keep the system cool while running. Install or

place this product in an area where there is ample air circulation.
