Turning on the Recorder

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:

1.Turn on the monitor and any external peripherals (ex. Printers, External Storage Devices, etc.) connected to the recorder.

2.Turn on the Secondary Power Switch located in the rear of the recorder.

3.Turn on the main power switch located on the front of the recorder.

The recorder 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 recorder software should load automatically and bring you to the main screen.

TURNING OFF THE RECORDER

To turn off the recorder, select the Exit button on the main screen and select Power Off. The recorder will safely shutdown, it may take several minutes to shut down completely.

Caution: Always be sure to follow the proper procedures when turning off the power to the recorder. NEVER disconnect the power to the recorder 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
