• Plan the cables' route so that it is not close to power or telephone lines, transformers, microwave ovens or other electrical equipment that could interfere with the DVR.
• Select a location for the camera that has an ambient temperature between 14^ 113^ (-10^ 45^) .
• If you plan to install the camera in a location that has conditions not recommended in this manual, consult with a professional installer and consider use of a separate camera cover or housing.

Appendix 4: Replacing the Hard Drive

The system comes with a pre-installed 3.5" SATA hard drive, however the unit will work with a replacement single hard drive (up to 1 TB).

Note: Make sure that the system is OFF and the power cable has been disconnected before changing the hard drive.

Removing the Hard Drive

To remove the hard drive:

1. Remove seven screws from the cover of the housing: three from the top half of each side panel; one from the top near the rear panel.
2. Gently lift off the cover.

3. With your hand supporting the hard drive, turn the unit upside down. Remove the four mounting screws from the bottom of the unit. Turn the unit right side up.

4. Disconnect the power and data cables.

5. Remove the hard drive.

Note: Make sure to keep the two sets of screws (cover, mounting) in a safe place.

1. Carefully place the hard drive in the housing.

Note: Make sure not to damage any of the cables when placing the hard drive in the housing.

Note: Make sure no cables are caught beneath the drive.

1. With your hand supporting the hard drive, turn the housing upside down: replace the four screws on the bottom of the housing.

2. Turn the housing right side up. Replace the cover, making sure to slide the cover toward the front panel until flush.

3. Replace the screw on the top panel (x1) and side panels (x6).

4. Reconnect all cameras and cables.

5. Power on the system. If you have installed a new hard drive, you must format the drive before using the system.

Note: The system will detect the hard drive a few seconds after powering on the system. The system will prompt you if the hard drive is not detected.

Formatting the Hard Drive

Use Hard Disk Setup in the System menu to format the internal hard drive.

Note: You must stop recording before attempting to format the hard drive.

ATTENTION: Formatting erases all recorded video data on the hard drive. Formatting cannot be undone. System settings are not affected by formatting.

To format the hard drive:

1. Open the Setup menu. Select System and press . The System menu opens.
2. From the System menu, select Hard Disk Setup and press .
3. Select Format HDD and press ◀▶.
4. Enter your 6-character system password. The system begins formatting the hard drive. This could take several moments depending on the size of your system's hard drive.

Once formatting is complete, the system will return to Live Mode.
