3.4 SHUTDOWN
The DVR should never be shut off by unplugging
it or by using the power switch without first using
the Shutdown function.
This function allows you to shut down the DVR
safely by letting the system finish writing files,
parking the hard drive and other actions to
preserve the electronics. Once the process has
finished (generally a minute or two), the recorder
will inform you that it can be safely unplugged or
the power switch can be turned off.

RESTART
Your DVR is essentially a highly specialized computer. Like any other computer, its performance may
benefit from being rebooted on occasion. If you have not disabled the Startup Wizard, it will launch when
the DVR restarts, but if you are not having network problems, you can exit the Wizard without having to
go through it again.
