•  Do not expose the DVR to moisture. Water is the arch-
enemy of electrical components and also poses a high 
risk of electric shock.
•  Avoid dusty locations. Dust has a tendency to build up 
inside the DVR case, leading to a high risk of failure or 
even fire.
•  Only install the DVR in a well ventilated space. Like 
all electronics, the circuitry and hard drive in the DVR 
produce heat, and this heat needs a way out.
•  Do not open the DVR case except to install/swap the hard 
drive inside. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
•  Do not cut or modify any cable for any reason. Doing so 
will void your warranty, as well as pose a great risk of fire 
or electrical shock.
•  Do not expose the DVR to sudden bumps or shocks 
(for example, being dropped). The DVR is as robust as 
possible, but many of the internal components are quite 
fragile.
•  Remember that the DVR is, in all likelihood, going to be 
left on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Keep this in mind 
when choosing a location for installation.
•  Never open the case whilst the DVR is plugged in, and 
never turn the DVR on whilst the case is open.
