SET-UP AND SAFETY___________________________
This digital recorder is designed to receive, record and play back video
and audio signals. Any other use is expressly prohibited.
When setting up the digital recorder, make sure it is in a horizontal posi-
tion and that the mains socket is easily accessible.
When setting up the digital recorder, remember that furniture is often
coated with various types of varnish and plastic, which often contain
chemical additives. These additives may cause corrosion to the feet of
the unit. This may leave stains on the surface of the furniture which can
be difficult or impossible to remove.
If the digital recorder is subject to a sudden change in temperature, for
example when brought in from the cold to a warm room, let it stand for
at least two hours before you connect it to the mains supply.
Do not expose the digital recorder to moisture of any kind.
The digital recorder is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it
outdoors, make sure it is protected from moisture such as rain or splash-
ing water. Do not place any vessels such as vases on the digital
recorder. These may be knocked over and spill fluid on the electrical
components, thus presenting a safety risk.
Do not place the digital recorder close to heating units or in direct sun-
light, as this will impair cooling. Maximum ambient temperature +5 °C
to +40 °C.
Place the digital recorder on a hard, level surface. Do not lay any
objects such as magazines on the digital recorder. When placed in a
cabinet, make sure there is a minimum space of 10 cm around it.
Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the digital
recorder is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the
mains or the antenna.
Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during a storm.
Never open the digital recorder casing under any circumstances.
Warranty claims are excluded for damage resulting from improper
handling.
Note:
Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched on.
Switch off the other devices as well before connecting them.
Do not plug in the power cord of your device until you have connected
the external equipment and the antenna.
