Align the screw holes of the bracket
with the HDDs screw holes. Make
sure the PCB side of the HDD is
facing up. Then, fasten the HDD to
the bracket.
Note: For DVD writer installation, please refer to APPENDIX 7 DVD WRITER

APPENDIX 5 DVR BATTERY REPLACEMENT
APPENDIX 5 DVR BATTERY REPLACEMENT

DVR time reset after power failure, for example, caused by a power outage, will cause the
disorder of the recorded data, and users may have problems in searching the event clip they
want. To keep the DVR time from resetting, a non-chargeable lithium battery, CR2032, is
installed in the DVR.
However, the DVR time might still get reset when the DVR battery is low or even running out of
power. If so, please replace the DVR battery, CR2032, right away as instructed below.
How to replace CR2032
Note: The lithium battery, CR2032, is a non-chargeable battery, and should be

purchased separately. Please replace only with the same or equivalent type
battery in case of danger.
Step1: Stop all DVR recording immediately to prevent the disorder of the recorded data.
Then, back up the recorded data if necessary.
Step2: Power off the DVR, and disconnect the DVR power.
Step3: Remove the DVR cover, and find the battery on the mainboard.
Step4: Push the release as indicated below to remove the battery.
Step5: Get a new battery with the side of CR2032 facing up, and install it to the mainboard.
Step6: Replace the DVR cover and connect to power.
Step7: Set DVR date & time, and resume recording. For details, please refer to 2.4 Date and
Time Setting at page 9, and 5.2 Record at page 18.
