Precautions 

The Mini DVR Pro has been built to meet the demands of a professional environment, however, the 
hardware is subject to the same dangers from static as any other electronic device.  Use care when 
connecting or disconnecting cables. 
 

IMPORTANT:

  Take care not to introduce any moisture into the unit.  Electronic assemblies are sensitive to static 

electricity, due to the electrostatic sensitive devices used within the circuitry.  All semiconductors, as well as some 
resistors and capacitors, may be damaged or degraded by exposure to static electricity. The video card must 
receive adequate ventilation, and be kept as cool as possible. If you experience any problems with the unit please 
call Fast Forward Video’s service department.  

DO NOT ATTEMPT to repair or modify the unit as this might 

cause further damage,

 

which could void your warranty

.  A technician can determine whether your problem is 

caused by a faulty component, and whether you need to return it for evaluation and/or repair.
