2. Turn the hard drive key counter clockwise by ¼ turn until the hard drive lock is in
the unlocked position.
3. After the red HDD LED is off, gently pull out the hard drive.
To replace the drive:
1. Slide in a drive until the cartridge seats inside the front panel.
2. Insert the drive key, turn clockwise by ¼ turn until the drive lock is in the locked
position.

jack. Use the trackball mouse to navigate the OSD menus. See On-Screen Display
Access, on page 2–4.
One Touch Button and USB memory Device
For quick download of flagged video, use the One Touch Button and a USB memory
device. See Using One-Touch Download, on page 2–12

CAUTION: Data Loss Risk
Do not remove the DVR hard drive until the red HDD activity indicator is off.
Failure to do so may result in lost data. While the DVR hard drive is hot swappable
(the drive can be removed when the DVR is powered up), do not remove the DVR
hard drive while the DVR is recording, as some video segments may not be recorded.
CAUTION: Hard Drive Identification
Placing the TL hard drive in an MX4 or MX-HD DVR and vice versa will
result in the drive being formatted and data lost.
