The recorder can be set up to send an email on an alarm event. Any alarm can be programmed to Notify a
recipient of the event. The email will be sent to the default address entered into the System Setup Menu. It is
also necessary to set up the smtp information in the System Menu. Finally, in the Alarm Setup menu the
channel must be enabled along with the Notify Enable and the Master enable.

email which cannot be sent, the recorder will try then simply discard it.

4.11 Turning the unit off
When power is removed from the unit it does not turn off immediately. There is a battery backup in the power
supply that runs the unit for a couple of minutes to ensure that all systems shut down properly and all data files
are closed and secured. Once the recorder senses the power has been removed it shuts off the display and blinks
the LED status indicator on the lower right of the front panel, to show that it is in the battery backup mode. It waits
approximately 30 seconds to ensure that the power failure is not intermittent or simply a brown out, then
commences the shut down procedure. If power should return during this period then the recorder resumes
operation normally. When the recorder completes the shutdown process, it turns the battery off and the unit is
OFF.
There are a few cautionary measures that need to be taken:
1. Ensure that the backup battery switch on the rear panel is in the ON position when using the unit and
DO NOT USE THIS SWITCH TO TURN OFF THE UNIT.
2. If the unit has been off for a lengthy period, the battery may require up to 72 hours to fully charge.
3. If you RESET the unit using the button recessed behind the media door, you may lose data if you do not
STOP RECORDING and SAVE THE CONFIGURATION FILE.
