6.6 – POWER ON / OFF
To power the system on, connect the power cable to the DC 12V port on the rear panel. At start-up, the DVR
performs a basic system check and runs an initial loading sequence. After a few moments, it will load a live display
view.
The system can also be put into standby mode. It will still receive power but will not record anything until brought
back into operation mode.
1. To put the system in standby, press and hold the power button on the remote control until the on-screen
prompt closes.
2. To wake the system from standby mode, press and hold the power button on the remote control until the
DVR displays “System Initializing” on screen. The system will begin powering up.
6.7 – PASS CODES
By default, pass codes are disabled on the system. You do not need to enter a pass code when accessing any menus.
For security purposes, it is highly recommended to enable pass codes via the Password Menu.
6.8 – FORMAT THE HARD DISK DRIVE
This DVR uses a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) to record and store video footage. You must format the HDD before it can be
used to record video.
Go to Main Menu  HDD HDD Format, to prepare the drive for use. Refer to section “7.7 – HDD Management”
(page 25) for instructions on how to do this. After formatting is complete, follow the on-screen prompts to restart
the system.
NOTE
If no HDD is installed, or the HDD is not formatted, a red “H” symbol will be displayed on screen.
6.9 – SYSTEM LOGIN
To open the main menu, press the MENU / EXIT button on the remote control. Alternatively right-click anywhere on
screen with the mouse to open the Sub Menu, then select MAIN MENU.
NOTE
If pass codes are enabled on the system, you need to select your Device ID and enter the 6-digit numerical
pass code to open the main menu.
