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. Connect the DVR to a VGA monitor. You will only see the DVR menu system, when it’s
connected to a VGA monitor.
3. Press the POWER switch on the back rear panel. The Power indicator LED should turn blue. The
unit will begin to start.
4. After startup, the Power indicator LED will remain blue. A splash screen will be shown (Figure
7).
