Drive” on page 117.
Formatting the Hard Drive
If you replace the pre-installed hard drive, it must be formatted in order to function
properly with the system.
ATTENTION : Formatting the HDD erases all data on the hard disk. 
This step cannot be undone.
To format the hard disk:
1 From the Main Menu, click . The Record Menu opens.
2 Select Format HDD.
3 Click Yes to format the hard drive or click No to cancel.
Please allow a few seconds for formatting to occur.
NOTE: You will notice that the size of the HDD and the free space are not the same. The
system uses a portion of the disk space for the operating system and initialization.
This is common in all security DVRs as well as computer hard drives.
