3 Basic Operation 

 

 

 

Note : The button in gray display indicates non-support. 

 

 

 

3.1 Turn On 

 

 

 

Plug the power supply and turn on the power supply switch. Power supply indicator light 
shining indicates turning on the video recorder. After the startup you will hear a beep. 

The default setting of video output is multiple-window output mode. If the startup time 
is within the video setting time, the timing video recording function will start up 

automatically. Then the video indicator light of corresponding channel is shining and the 
AHD DVR is working normally. 
1. Make sure that the input voltage corresponds with the switch of the AHD DVR 

power supply. 

2. Power supply demands: 220V±10% /50Hz. 
Suggest using the UPS to protect the power supply under allowable conditions. 

 

 

 

3.2 Turn Off 

 

 

 

There are two methods to turn off the AHD DVR. Entering <Main Menu> and choosing 

<Turn Off> in the <Turn off the system> option is called soft switch. Pressing the power 
supply switch is called hard switch. Illumination: 

 

 

(1) Auto resume after power failure. 

If the AHD DVR is shut down abnormally, it can automatically backup video and 
resume previous working status after power failure. 

(2) Replace the hard disk 

Before replacing the hard disk, the power supply switch in the real panel must be 
turned off. 

(3) Replace the battery . 

 

 

Before replacing the battery, the setting information must be saved and the power supply 

switch in the real panel must be turned off. The AHD DVR uses button battery. The system 
time must be checked regularly. If the time is not correct you must replace the battery, 

we recommend replacing the battery every year and using the same battery type.
