1.5.1 Power ON / OFF Procedure
Connect the power supply to your device first. Then connect the power supply to the wall socket.
To turn on the GL-35DSR LAN, press the power switch to start up the system. It will take about
one to two minutes for the device to go online. The green READY LED will indicate when the
system is ready.
To safely turn off the GL-35DSR LAN, press and hold the power switch for 3 seconds. The system
will shut down all services and about 20 seconds later, it will power off.
If for some reasons the system is unresponsive, press and hold the power switch for 6 seconds to
forcefully shut down the system and cut off the power.
Note
If the device is not in use for a longer period of time, we recommend turning off the power and
removing the power supply from the wall socket.
1.6 About Data Backup
To protect your files and prevent the loss of your data, it’s strongly recommend to keep two copies
of your data. One copy on your GL-35DSR and a second copy on your internal PC drive or another
storage media such as a CD, DVD, Tape or an additional external drive.
Any loss or corruption of data while using the GL-35DSR is the sole responsibility of the user, and
under no circumstances will the manufacturer be held liable for compensation or the recovery of
this data.
