TURNING ON THE DVR
Once the cables and adapters have been properly connected it is time to turn on the power. To turn on the power follow these steps:
4. Turn on the monitor and any external peripherals (ex. Printers, External Storage Devices, etc.) connected to the DVR unit.
5. Turn on the Secondary Power Switch located in the rear of the DVR unit.
6. Turn on the main power switch located on the front of the DVR unit.
The DVR will run a series of self-tests. After two or three minutes a series of messages may be displayed as the various hardware and
software subsystems are activated. Under normal circumstances you should not be asked to respond to these messages. If you are
asked to respond to the messages (adding a Printer, Monitor, etc for the first time) follow the instructions carefully.
After this finishes, the Surveillix DVR software should load automatically and bring you to the main screen.
TURNING OFF THE DVR
1. To turn off the DVR unit, select the Exit button from the main screen. This will prompt you whether you wish to exit the program
or not. Select yes. The DVR unit will shut itself off automatically once this is done. The DVR unit may take several minutes to
shut down completely.
CAUTION: Always be sure to follow the proper procedures when turning off the power to the DVR unit. NEVER
disconnect the power to the DVR unit while it is still running or in the process of shutting down. Doing so can cause data
loss, file corruption, system instability and hardware failure
