2.1 Starting and Shutting down the DVR

Proper startup and shutdown procedures are crucial to extending the life of your DVR.

To startup your DVR:

1. Ensure the power supply is plugged into an electrical outlet. It is HIGHLY

recommended that an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) be used in conjunction with

the unit. The Power indicator LED on the front panel should turn red, indicating the unit

is receiving power.

2. Press the POWER button on the front panel. The Power indicator LED should turn

blue. The unit will begin to start.

3. After startup, the Power indicator LED will remain blue. A splash screen with the

status of the DSP and HDD will be shown. The first row of icons at the bottom of the

screen shows the DSP status. If an ‘X’ is shown on top of an icon, it means that the DSP

initialisation has failed. The second row of icons at the bottom of the screen will show the

HDD status. If an ‘X’ is shown, it means that the HDD is not installed or cannot be

detected.

There are two proper ways to shutdown the DVR. To shutdown the DVR:

• OPTION 1: Standard Shutdown

1. Enter the Shutdown menu, shown below by clicking on Menu > Shutdown.

2. Select the Shutdown button.

3. Click the Yes button.

• OPTION 2: Manual Shutdown

1. Press and hold the POWER button for 3 seconds.
