PRECAUTIONS
• Refer all work related to the installation of these
products to qualified service personnel or system
installers.
• Do not operate the appliances beyond their speci-
fied temperature, humidity, or power source ratings.
Use the appliance at temperatures within +5 °C -
+45 °C (41 °F - 113 °F) and humidity below 85 %.
The input power source for this appliance is 120 V AC
60 Hz.
Performance and lifetime of hard disk drives are easily
affected by heat (used at high temperature) character-
istically. It is recommended to use this appliance at
temperatures within +20 °C - +30 °C (68 °F - 86 °F).
• Handle the appliance with care.
Do not strike or shake, as this may damage the appli-
ance.
• Do not strike or give a strong shock to the unit.
It may cause damage or allow water to enter the unit.
• Built-in backup battery
Before the first use, charge the built-in backup battery
(lithium battery) by turning on the power for 48 hours or
more.
If it is not charged enough, in a case where the power
goes down, the internal clock may keep bad time or the
operative condition may be different to that before the
electric power failure.
The built-in battery life is approximately 5 years as an
indication of replacement. (This is just an indication of
replacement. We are not providing any guarantee of the
built-in battery lifetime. Replacement cost of the built-in
battery is not covered by the warranty even if it needs
to be done within the warranty period.) Ask the shop
where you purchased the unit when replacement of the
battery is required.
• Cooling Fan
Turn the power off when cleaning the unit. Otherwise it
may cause injuries.
Replacement costs of the cooling fan are not covered
by the warranty even if it needs to be done within the
warranty period. Consult your dealer for servicing.
• Cleaning
Turn the power off when cleaning the unit. Otherwise it
may cause injuries.
Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when clean-
ing the appliance body.
Use a dry cloth to clean the appliance when it is dirty.
When the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild detergent
and wipe gently.
• Indication label
Refer to the indication labels placed on the top and bot-
tom of the unit as to the indications of equipment classi-
fication and power source, etc.• Built-in hard disk drives
Hard disk drives are vulnerable to vibration. Handle
them with care.
It is possible to damage them if they are moved while
their motors are still running. Do not move them just
after turning their power on or off (for around 30 sec-
onds).
When hard disk drive trouble occurs, replace it immedi-
ately. Consult your dealer for servicing.
When replacing the hard disk drives, take notice of the
following.
Do not detach the hard disk drives or the cables con-
necting the unit and the front cover while the
HDD1/HDD2 indicators are lit or for around 30 seconds
after the indicators go off.
Protect the hard disk drives from static electricity.
Do not stack them, or keep them upright. 
Do not use an electric screwdriver to fix them.
(Tightening torque: Approx. 0.49 N · m (5 kgf · cm))
Avoid rapid changes of the temperature/humidity to
prevent condensation. (Acceptable change: within
15 °C/h (59 °F/h))
• Place the unit horizontally an a level surface. Do not
place the unit in an upright position. When stacking
multiple units, clear a space of more than 5 cm from
both sides, the top, the bottom and the rear of the units.
• Avoid placing receptacles that contain liquids such as
water near the unit.
If liquid spills onto the unit, it may cause fire or an elec-
tric shock.
• Do not expose the unit to water or moisture, or try to
operate it in wet areas.
• Prevent condensation from forming on the surface of
the hard disk.
If this happens, do not turn on the power of the recorder
and leave the recorder for around 2 hours.
Wait until the dew evaporates in any of the following
cases:
• The recorder is placed in an extremely humid place.
• The recorder is placed in a room where a heater has
just been turned on.
• The recorder is moved from an air-conditioned room
to a humid and high-temperature room.
• We recommend that you make a note of your settings
and save them. This will help when you are required to
change the system configuration, or when unexpected
trouble or failure occurs.
• Distributing, copying, disassembling, reverse compil-
ing, reverse engineering, and also exporting in violation
of export laws of the software provided with this prod-
uct, is expressly prohibited.

PREFACE
The Digital Disk Recorders WJ-HD316A/309A are designed
for use within a surveillance system and are a combination
of a hard disk recorder and a video multiplexer (16-input for
the WJ-HD316A, 9-input for the WJ-HD309A).
The digital hard disk recorder is a recording device using a
hard disk drive to record camera pictures instead of using
videotapes so that pictures recorded by repeated overwrit-
ing will not experience deterioration of the recorded picture
quality. Up to 16 cameras can be connected to the WJ-HD316A directly (up to 9 cameras to the WJ-HD309A) and
it is possible to record their camera pictures. It is also pos-
sible to display four or more camera pictures on a single
monitor, to switch camera pictures, and to operate cameras
using this unit.
FEATURES
Various Recording Functions
• Multi-Recording
It is possible to perform multiple recordings using a sin-
gle digital disk recorder even if the operating environ-
ments are different, for example, recording pictures of
cameras in different places at different times.
• Schedule recording
It is possible to perform recording automatically at a
scheduled time on a designated day of the week.
Schedules can be set on each camera.
• Emergency Recording
In the case of an emergency, emergency recordings
will be given a higher priority than other recording
modes by operating an external switch.
• External Timer Recording
It is possible to perform recording automatically using
an external timer.
• Event Recording
At an event occurrence, such as when an alarm signal
is supplied, the recording mode (quality and recording
rate) can be changed to high quality to record pictures.
• Motion Detection Function (VMD)
It is possible to start recording automatically when
motion is detected in a shooting area.
Frame Switcher Function
• It is possible to display pictures of four or more cam-
eras on a single monitor (multi-screen) splitting the
monitor screen into 4, 7, 9, 10, 13, or 16 sections using
the WJ-HD316A, and into 4, 7, or 9 sections using the
WJ-HD309A.
While monitoring a multi-screen, each camera picture
will be displayed as a moving image.
Remote Operation via Network
It is possible to operate this unit using a PC connected to a
LAN (Local Area Network) or the Internet with the featured
network function.
Security Function and Reliability
• Authentication function (registration of ID and pass-
word) allows users access to a predetermined selection
of the available functions. Up to 32 users can be regis-
tered.
• If alteration of a recorded image data is made for any
reason, the alteration alert function will announce it.
• If a hard disk crashes, the backup function
*1, the mirror-
ing function*2and the RAID 5 function*3prevent any
data loss.
*1: Only when the recommended DVD-RAM drive, DVD-R
drive or CD-R drive is used
*2: The mirroring function does not work with an external
hard disk drive such as an extension unit.
*3: To use the RAID 5 function, an optional extension unit is
required.
Transmission with Coaxial Cable, PS·Data and
RS485 Compatible
• It is possible to control a Panasonic combination cam-
era such as the WV-CS850 using only a coaxial cable
but not other devices. Using a coaxial cable also com-
pensates for transmission loss.
• It is easy to establish the surveillance system by con-
necting a PS·Data compatible system controller and
peripherals.
