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 with the status of the
DSP and HDD will be shown (Figure 7). The first row of top of icons at the bottom of the screen
shows the DSP status. If an 'X' is shown on 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 can not be detected.
There are two proper ways to shutdown the DVR.
Option 1: Standard Shutdown
1. Enter the Shutdown menu shown in Figure 8 by going to Main Menu > Maintenance > Shutdown.
