Troubleshooting Remote Control:
15
Make sure you have install batteries properly in the remote control. And you have to aim the remote control at the IR receiver in the front panel.
If there is no response after you press any button on the remote, follow the procedure below to troubleshoot.
Steps:
1. Go into Menu > Settings > General > More Settings by operating the front control panel or the mouse.
2. Check and remember DVR ID#. The default ID# is 255. This ID# is valid for all IR remote controls.
3. Press the DEV button on the remote control.
4. Enter the DVR ID# in step 2.
5. Press the ENTER button on the remote.
If the Status indicator on the front panel turns blue, the remote control is operating properly. If the Status indicator does not turn blue and there is still no response from the remote, please check the following:
1. Batteries are installed correctly and the polarities of the batteries are not reversed.
2. Batteries are fresh and not out of charge.
3. IR receiver is not obstructed.
If the remote still cannot function properly, please change the remote and try again, or contact the device provider.
16
1.3 USB Mouse Operation
A regular 3-button (Left/Right/Scroll-wheel) USB mouse can also be used with this DVR. To use a USB mouse:
1. Plug USB mouse into one of the USB interfaces on the front panel of the DVR.
2. The mouse should automatically be detected. If in a rare case that the mouse is not detected, the possible
reason may be that the two devices are not compatible, please refer to the recommended the device list from your provider.

3.1 Introduction of Live View
Live view shows you the video image getting from each camera in real time. The DVR will automatically enter Live View mode when powered on. It is also at the very top of the menu hierarchy, thus hitting the ESC many times (depending on which menu you’re on) will bring you to the Live View mode.
Live View Icons
In the live view mode, there are icons at the right top of the screen for each channel, showing the status of the record and alarm in the channel, so that you can know whether the channel is recorded, or whether there are alarms occur as soon as possible.

3.2 Operations in Live View Mode
In live view mode, there are many functions provided. The functions are listed below.
• Single Screen: show only one screen on the monitor.
• Multi-screen: show multiple screens on the monitor simultaneously.
• Auto-switch: the screen is auto switched to the next one. And you must set the dwell time for each screen

• Start Recording: normal record and motion detection record are supported.
• Quick Set: select the output mode to Standard, Bright, Gentle or Vivid.
