Starting and Shutting Down Your DVR

Proper startup and shutdown procedures are crucial to expanding the life of your DVR.

To startup your DVR:

Ensure the power supply is plugged into an electrical outlet. It is HIGHLY recommended that an Uninterruptible

Power Supply (UPS) be used in conjunction with the unit. The Power indicator LED on the front panel should

turn red, indicating the unit is receiving power.

Connect the DVR to a VGA monitor. You will only see the DVR menu system when it’s connected to a VGA

monitor.

Press the POWER switch on the back rear panel. The Power indicator LED should turn blue. The unit will begin

to start.

After startup, the Power indicator LED will remain blue. A splash screen with the status of the DSP and HDD will

be shown (Figure 7). The first row of icons at the bottom of the screen shows the DSP status. If an ‘X’ is shown on

top of an icon, it means that the DSP initialization has failed. The second row of icons at the bottom of the screen

will show the HDD status. If an ‘X’ is shown, it means that the HDD is not installed or cannot be detected.
