be turned completely in either direction. Once you freeze the video, you
can use the jog disk to go to single-step play back. Clockwise rotation
causes forward one-step playback; and counterclockwise rotation causes
backward one-step playback. This is for JPEG recoding only.

Configuring the HDD in the unit
There is an empty cartridge positioned on the front panel where the user can
install a swappable HDD. There are two possible situations when you install a
HDD into your DVR.
• If you install a new HDD, the DVR will format it and add it into your
database automatically.
• If you install a used HDD that does not have the DVR format, the DVR will
show, “1 disk(s) with wrong data format! Please format then add to the
database manually”. Then please follow the steps described below:
- Enter the menu with the administrator privilege and access the
<Database Setup> submenu
- Access the <Internal (or external) Disks>
- When you see the available disk/s, select <format> to format it
- After formatting is OK, select <Add> to add the HDD(s) into your
database.
