2.4 Date and Time Setting
Before operating your DVR, please set the date and time on your DVR FIRST.
Note: Please DO NOT change the date or time of your DVR after the recording
function is activated. Otherwise, the recorded data will be disordered and
you will not be able to find the recorded file to backup by time search. If
users change the date or time accidentally when the recording function is
activated, it’s recommended to clear all HDD data, and start recording
again.
Note: For the first time to use the DVR, please power it on for at least 48 hours
continuously after the date & time is set correctly. It helps to prevent DVR
time from resetting after the disconnecting of DVR power. If the DVR time
resets after the disconnecting of DVR power, for example, caused by a
power outage, the battery might run out and please replace the battery as
described in “APPENDIX 5 DVR BATTERY REPLACEMENT” at page 60.
