Precautions
1. Please read this user manual before switch on TP-1331 H.264 SD/HD encoder.
2. Please make sure the video port is well connected when the machine is in the first use.
3. Do not open the cabinet of the box in case of electric shock or do damage to the encoder.
4. Please plug off the power when the encoder in not in use for a long time, please never use damaged electrical outlet to avoid fire or electric shock.
5. Never touch the electronic outlet with wet hand. Switch the power off at once if liquid leaks into the encoder.
6. Please put the encoder in a horizontal place and avoid pressing.
7. Do not put heavy objects on the encoder.
8. Put the machine in a ventilated, temper temperature place, avoids sunshine, moist, and strong shock.
9. When the machine is moved to a new place with sharp different temperature, please keep it off for one or two hours.
