Handling Precautions
䢇 Do not stack the devices on one another during use
Heat and noise from the devices may cause the unit to
malfunction or break down, and lead to fire.
䢇 Do not block the ventilation holes
Doing so may cause heat to be trapped inside the unit and
result in fire. Do not use this unit by laying it down
sideways, upside down, or at an angle.
䢇 Do not place objects on this unit
Placing heavy objects, such as TV monitors, or objects
that are bigger in size on this unit may cause it to lose
balance and drop or fall, resulting in injuries.

Copyright
䢇 Use of video or audio sound recorded using this unit for

Precautions for Handling Hard Disk
Drive
䢇 This unit comes with a high-precision hard disk device. Be
careful not to exert vibration or impact on this unit when
handling it. Exertion of vibration or impact particularly
when the power is on or when the hard disk is being
accessed may cause this unit to break down.
䢇 The distance between the head and the disk is only about
0.02 μm when the hard disk (henceforth HDD) is reading
the data. Vibration or impact that is exerted on the HDD
may therefore cause the head to hit against the disk,
causing the disk surface to dent or the disk to chip. When
this occurs, data may not be properly read, or in a worse
scenario, continued use in this condition may result in
head crash (damage). Careful attention must therefore be
paid when handling it.
䢇 Precautions During Installation and Change of Installation
Location
Moving of this unit or installation work is strictly prohibited
when the power of this unit is on or immediately after the
power is turned off (approximately 1 minute). The HDD
continues to move under its own inertia for some time
after the power is disconnected, and exertion of vibration
or impact during this interval may result in HDD failure.
When moving this unit, wrap it using cushioning materials
to protect it from external shock.
䢇 The HDD is a consumable product. Although it may vary
according to the environment of use, it is recommended to
replace the HDD after using for 18,000 hours in a
surrounding temperature of 25°C. (However, this is only a
reference time and not a guarantee for HDD life span.)
For inquiries on maintenance plans and expenses,
consult your nearest JVC KENWOOD dealer.
䢇 When installing an external hard disk, we recommend the
use of UPS (uninterruptible power supply) to ensure the
stable operation of the system.
䢇 Power failure that occurs during formatting or
disconnection of the HDD may affect its subsequent use
even when the UPS is connected.
䢇 JVC KENWOOD shall not be held responsible for the
compensation of losses incurred in the event that
recording or playback fails due to defects in this unit or its
hard disk drive.
䢇 Images recorded on the HDD will be deleted when you
replace it with a new disk. Note also that recorded images
may be deleted when you upgrade the software for this
unit.

Software Installation
䢇 Do not install any software to this device other than the
provided application software. Otherwise, operations may
become unstable. Any malfunctions which arise in such a
case will not be covered under warranty.

Others
䢇 When there is variation in the supply voltage such as
during lightning, operation of this unit may be disabled to
protect the system until the supply voltage stabilizes
again.
䢇 Eliminate static electricity before performing work that
requires you to touch the input/output terminals, such as
when installing devices.
䢇 Do not touch the rear panel of this unit when it is running
as static electricity may cause it to malfunction.
䢇 When there is a large amount of data recorded on this
unit, such as short alarm records, a longer time may be
required during search or backup. This is not a
malfunction.
䢇 Data recorded from TV broadcasts or video (audio)
recordings shall be restricted only to personal use, and
their use without the prior consent of the copyright holder
is strictly prohibited under the copyright law.
䢇 The width of the border lines (black in color) of images on
the split screen varies according to the type of input
signals. This is due to the characteristics of the camera’s
input signals, and is not a malfunction. The condition may
also be improved by adjusting this unit. For details, consult
our authorized dealers or JVC KENWOOD service
centers.
When installed in an ordinary household, this unit may
cause interference with other devices such as radios or
televisions.

6 INTERNET-BASED SERVICES.

Microsoft provides Internet-based services with the software. Microsoft may change or cancel them at any time.
a. Consent for Internet-Based Services.
The device may contain one or more of the software features described below. These features connect to Microsoft or
service provider computer systems over the Internet. In some cases, you will not receive a separate notice when they
connect. For more information about these features, visit
go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=104604.
By using these features, you consent to the transmission of this information. Microsoft does not use the information to
identify or contact you.
● Computer Information.
The following features use Internet protocols, which send to the appropriate systems computer information, such as your
Internet protocol address, the type of operating system and browser, the name and version of the software you are using,
and the language code of the device where you installed the software. Microsoft uses this information to make the
Internet-based services available to you. JVC KENWOOD has elected to turn on the following features on the device.
● Plug and Play and Plug and Play Extensions.
You may connect new hardware to your device. Your device may not have the drivers needed to communicate with that
hardware. If so, the update feature of the software can obtain the correct driver from Microsoft and install it on your device.
● Web Content Features.
Features in the software can retrieve related content from Microsoft and provide it to you. Examples of these features are
clip art, templates, online training, online assistance and Appshelp. You may choose to switch them off or not use them.
● Digital Certificates.
The software uses x.509 version 3 digital certificates. These digital certificates confirm the identity of user sending
information to each other and allow you to encrypt the information. The software retrieves certificates and updates
certificate revocation lists over the Internet.
● Auto Root Update.
The Auto Root Update feature updates the list of trusted certificate authorities. You can switch off this feature.

● Windows Media Digital Rights Management.
Content owners use Windows Media digital rights management technology (WMDRM) to protect their intellectual
property, including copyrights. This software and third party software use WMDRM to play and copy WMDRM-protected
content. If the software fails to protect the content, content owners may ask Microsoft to revoke the software’s ability to use
WMDRM to play or copy protected content. Revocation does not affect other content. When you download licenses for
protected content, you agree that Microsoft may include a revocation list with the licenses. Content owners may require
you to upgrade WMDRM to access their content. Microsoft software that includes WMDRM will ask for your consent prior
to the upgrade. If you decline an upgrade, you will not be able to access content that requires the upgrade. You may switch
off WMDRM features that access the Internet. When these features are off, you can still play content for which you have a
valid license.
● Windows Media Player.
When you use Windows Media Player, it checks with Microsoft for
● compatible online music services in your region;
● new versions of the player; and
● codecs if your device does not have the correct ones for playing content.
You can switch off this feature. For more information, go to:
go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=51331.
● Malicious Software Removal/Clean On Upgrade.
Before installation of the software, the software will check and remove certain malicious software listed at
www.support.microsoft.com/?kbid=890830 (“Malware”) from your device. When the software checks your device for
Malware, a report will be sent to Microsoft about any Malware detected or errors that occurred while the software was
checking for Malware. No information that can be used to identify you is included in the report. You may disable the
software’s Malware reporting functionality by following the instructions found at
www.support.microsoft.com/?kbid=890830.
● Network Awareness.
This feature determines whether a system is connected to a network by either passive monitoring of network traffic or
active DNS or HTTP queries. The query only transfers standard TCP/IP or DNS information for routing purposes. You can
switch off the active query feature through a registry setting.
● Windows Time Service.
This service synchronizes with
once a week to provide your l device with the correct time. The
connection uses standard NTP protocol.
● Search Suggestions Service.
In Internet Explorer, when you type a search query in the Instant Search box or type a question mark (?) before your
search term in the Address bar, you will see search suggestions as you type (if supported by your search provider).
Everything you type in the Instant Search box or in the Address bar when preceded by a question mark (?) is sent to your
search provider as you type. Also, when you press Enter or click the Search button, the text in the Instant Search box or
Address bar is sent to the search provider. If you use a Microsoft search provider, use of the information sent is subject to
the Microsoft Online Privacy Statement. This statement is available at
go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=31493. If you use a third-party search provider, use of the information sent will be subject
to the third party’s privacy practices. You can turn search suggestions off at any time. To do so, use Manage Add-ons
under the Tools button in Internet Explorer. For more information about the search suggestions service, see
