3.2 KEYBOARD SETUP 
 To attach the keyboard to the DVR unit, 
plug the end of the Keyboard cable into 
the keyboard PS/2 Port located on the 
back of the machine. The keyboard PS/2 
Port can be identified by the purple color.  
 
   
3.3 MOUSE SETUP 
 To attach the mouse to the DVR unit, plug the end of the mouse cable into the mouse 
PS/2 Port located on the back of the machine. The mouse PS/2 Port can be identified 
by the green color.  
 The mouse uses a cursor called a pointer. Pointers come in many different shapes  
but are most commonly shaped like an arrow. 
 The mouse has two buttons: a left button and a right button. Quickly pressing and 
releasing one of these buttons is called clicking. Sometimes it will be necessary  to 
double-click – or click the same button twice quickly. 
 In this manual, click means to position the mouse point on an icon and to single click 
the left button. When a right click is required, this is stated clearly. Double-click also 
refers to the left button. 
 The ratchet wheel in between the two buttons is added to provide easier scrolling 
capability. By simply moving the wheel with your index finger, you can quickly move 
through multiple pages, lines, or windows. The wheel may also function as a third 
button allowing you to quickly click or double-click an icon or a selected item.

receptacle contact a licensed electrician to have it replaced with a 
grounded electrical outlet. 
 
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is 
easily accessible at all times.
