TECHNICIAN NOTES
WARNING: Only authorized technicians trained by Toshiba should attempt to repair this NVR. All troubleshooting and
repair procedures that may be shown are for reference and minor repair only. Because of the complexity of the individual
components and subassemblies, no one should attempt to make repairs at the component level or to make modifications
to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard. And any indications of component replacement
or printed wiring board modifications may void any warranty.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to the equipment:
• Do not disable the power grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.
• Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.
• Disconnect the power from the computer by unplugging the power cord either from the electrical outlet or the
computer.
CAUTION: To properly ventilate your system, you must provide at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of clearance at the front and
back of the NVR.

SETUP OVERVIEW
The Setup options allow you to optimize your DVR by adjusting things like camera names,
reboot schedules, recording schedules and more. It is extremely important that you setup
your DVR correctly for several reasons.
• Recording Schedules – By optimizing the recording schedule you can increase the
amount of pertinent recorded video that is saved on the DVR and keep it longer. You
can optimize the type of recording done by adding motion detection to this as well,
again increasing the amount of useful video.
• DVR Access – By setting up the access passwords you can tightly control the types
of access an individual may have. This ensures the security and integrity of the DVR.
• Camera Naming – By naming each camera you can easily identify the location and
any other pertinent information that may be helpful simply by viewing it on the Video
Display Area.
