4.4.5 Setting the date and time
Before using your DVR, set the current date and time. All recorded data is time stamped.
CAUTION
DO NOT change the date or time of your DVR after recording anything. Otherwise, the data
recorded will be disordered and it will be difcult to nd information you may be searching
for. If the date or time is changed, clear all HDD data before recording again.
NOTE
After setting the date and time for the rst time leave the DVR powered on for at least 48
hours. This helps prevent DVR time from resetting after disconnecting power from the unit.
If the DVR time resets after a power loss, the internal battery may be expended. See “DVR
Battery Replacement” in the appendix.
