CAUTION: The DVR is equipped with a hard disk drive to store programs that you record and to allow you to rewind
and pause live TV. Any time the DVR is powered on (power LED is illuminated) or a recording is in progress (the
record LED is illuminated) the hard disk is in use.
If you need to move the DVR, complete the following steps to allow the hard disk to shut down properly. First, make
sure that no recording is in progress (record LED is off). Then, turn off power by pressing the Power key. Finally,
unplug the unit and wait 10 seconds for the hard disk drive to spin down (stop). At this point the unit can be moved
safely.
You should handle this product with the same level of care you would use when handling other electronics containing
a hard disk drive, such as a laptop computers or other hard disk drive equipped devices.
