SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in damage to your
device and other surrounding property. Read all the safety information below before
using.
Handling
Handle your device with care. Your device can be damaged if dropped, burned,
punctured, crushed, or if it comes in contact with liquid. If your device is damaged,
do not continue using it, as it may cause injury. Use the correct input voltage. Do
not spray cleaning products on the device. Detach the power cord from the device if
the device emits an unusual smell or if there is smoke. Do not remove the microSD
card while it is saving or reading data. Remove the power cord from the device if
you are not planning to use the device for a long time. If the product is damaged or
the power supply is cut due to an accident, video may not be recorded.
Repairing
Do not attempt to repair the device yourself. Doing so will void the Warranty,
damage your device or may cause injury. If your device is damaged or is defective,
contact GRDIAN.
Distraction
Do not operate the device while driving. Operate only when your vehicle is parked.
Do not install the device where it interferes with the driver’s vision.
Exposure to Extreme Heat
NOVA and its accessories comply with applicable surface temperature standards
and limits. However, even within these limits, sustained exposure to heat for long
periods of time may cause damage to the device. Use common sense to avoid
situations where your skin is in contact with a device or its power adapter when it’s
operating or plugged into a power source for long periods of time. It is important to
keep NOVA and its power adapter in a well ventilated area when in use.
Choking Hazard
Some accessories may present a choking hazard to small children. Keep these
accessories away from small children.
