Using the mouse 
The USB mouse provided with the DVR can be used to operate all the functions 
of the DVR, unlike the front panel which has limited functionality. The USB 
mouse lets you navigate and make changes to settings in the user interface. 
Connect the mouse to the DVR by plugging the mouse USB connector into the 
USB port on the back panel or the front panel. The mouse is immediately 
operational and the pointer should appear.  
Note: Use a USB 2.0 or higher mouse. 
Move the pointer to a command, option, or button on a window. Click the left 
mouse button to enter or confirm a selection.  
You can purchase a spare mouse by ordering part number TVR-MOUSE-1.
