Set up the hard disc recorder
Follow the guidelines and procedures
on these pages when you set up the
hard disc recorder.
Place the hard disc recorder on a solid, level
surface. Do not place any items on top of the
hard disc recorder.
Place the hard disc recorder away from
radiators, direct sunlight and other heat
sources.
Do not place the hard disc recorder on
a carpeted surface, as carpet blocks the
ventilation holes.
The hard disc recorder is intended for indoor
use in dry, domestic environments only,
within a temperature range of 10–40˚C
(50–104˚F).
What to do if the hard disc recorder
overheats
If, for example, the ventilation holes are blocked,
or if you have placed the hard disc recorder in
direct sunlight, the recorder may overheat. If this
happens, the standby indicator in the display
flashes red and green and a warning appears on
the screen.
Switch the hard disc recorder off immediately and
let it cool. Before switching it on again, ensure
that you have placed it as described on this page.
When placing the hard disc recorder, leave space
around it for adequate ventilation.
If this warning appears on the screen and you do
not switch off the hard disc recorder, it switches
itself off automatically after a few minutes, and
remains off until it has cooled sufficiently. You
cannot operate the hard disc recorder during this
time.
