2 OPERATIONS GUIDE
2.1 Turn on
Plug in the power supply and turn on the power from the mains supply. The
power supply indicator light will illuminate on the front panel; indicating that
there is power being provided to the video recorder. After the startup booting
sequence you will hear a beep. The first part of the user interface that will
appear is the default multiple-window video output mode. If the scheduled
footage recording function is set to record at the time you turn on the DVR then
it will start recording automatically as soon as when the device has completed
booting up. If the video indicator light of corresponding channel is illuminated
then the DVR is working normally.
Note: Power supply demands: 220V±10% /50Hz.

1.
Auto resume after power failure
: if the DVR is shut down under an
abnormal situation (e.g. power cut), it will automatically backup the video being
recorded before the shutdown and then resume its previous working status
once the device has powered back up.
2.
Replacing the hard disk:
before replacing the hard disk, the power supply
switch in the rear panel must be turned off.
3.
Replacing the battery:
Before replacing the battery, the system setting
information must be saved and the power supply switch in the rear panel must
be turned off. The DVR uses a button type battery, which is attached to the
main motherboard inside the case. 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 (CR2032 Motherboard
battery).
Note: The setting information must be saved before replacing the battery
otherwise information will lost.
