Starting and Shutting Down Your DVR
Proper startup and shutdown procedures are crucial to expanding the life of your DVR.
To startup your DVR:
1. 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.
2. Press the POWER button on the front panel. The Power indicator LED should turn blue. The unit will
begin to start.
3. After startup, the Power indicator LED will remain blue. A splash screen with the status of the DSP
and HDD will be shown. 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.
There are two proper ways to shutdown the DVR. To shutdown the DVR:
• OPTION 1: Standard Shutdown
1. Enter the Shutdown menu, shown in Figure 1 by clicking on Menu > Shutdown.

Rebooting and Locking Your DVR

your DVR.
To reboot or lock your DVR:
