Putting something into the DVR case can be a source of dangerous electric shock.

3. Do not operate in wet & dusty area or use near water.

Avoid places like a damp basement or dusty hallway.

4. Do not expose this product to rain or use near water.

If this product accidentally gets wet, unplug it and contact an authorized dealer immediately.

5. Keep product surfaces clean and dry.

To clean the outside case of the DVR, use a cloth lightly dampened with water (no solvents).

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

Q-See.

Warning: You may be subjected to severe electrical shock if you remove the cover of the DVR.

8. Handle DVR box 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.
