NOTE

A separate Alarm button is not provided. Pressing any keys on the front panel or remote control resets

alarm output including the internal buzzer when the alarm is activated. However, when you are in the

menu or PTZ mode, you have to exit the menu or PTZ mode first to reset alarm output.

The front panel looks and operates much like a VCR combined with a multiplexer.

Many of the buttons have multiple functions. The buttons on the infrared remote

control, while laid out differently, perform the same functions as those on the front

panel. The following describes each button and control. Take a few minutes to

review the descriptions. You will use these to initially set up your DVR and for daily

operations.

NOTE

The infrared sensor is just to the right of the Menu button. Make certain that nothing blocks the

sensor, or the remote control will not function properly.

NOTE

You can also use a USB mouse (not supplied) to navigate through the screens and menus much like

you would on a computer.

Power LED The Power LED is lit when the unit is On.

HDD LED The HDD LED flickers when the DVR is recording or searching

video on the hard disk drive.

Alarm Out LED The Alarm LED is lit when alarm output or internal buzzer is

activated.
