Date and Time Setting
Before operating your DVR, please set the date and time on your DVR first.
Note: DO NOT change the date or time of your DVR after the recording function is activated. Otherwise, the
recorded data will be disordered and you will not be able to find the recorded file from backup by time search.
If users change the date or time accidentally when the recording function is activated, it is recommended to
clear all HDD data, and start recording again.
Note: When using the DVR for the first time, leave it powered on for at least 48 hours continuously after the
date and time is set correctly. It prevents DVR time from resetting if the DVR power is disconnected. If the DVR
time resets after power disconnection (for example caused by a power outage), the internal battery may run
down. In that case, you have to replace the internal battery. Please refer to the appendices in the full user
manual for more information.
