Operation
Power Control
Power to VuLink is controlled through your vehicle’s ignition. There are no manual controls for
powering the unit on and off. When ignition is cycled, the boot-up process will begin. The red
and yellow status indicators will flash until boot up is complete. When ignition is turned off,
VuLink will enter low power standby mode. The Green LED will continue to be illuminated when
ignition is off.
Testing the System
1. The Green status indicator will be illuminated whenever battery power is present,
regardless of the ignition switch position.
2. Turn on your vehicle’s ignition. The yellow and red status indicators will blink sequentially
as VuLink is booting up.
3. Once the boot-up process is complete, the Yellow status indicator will flash as VuLink
tries to establish a wireless connection with your configured FirstVu HD’s.
4. When a wireless link is established, the Yellow status indicator on VuLink will remain lit
as long as the FirstVu HD is within range. Typical range is 50ft.
5. The Yellow status indicator will also remain illuminated on the FirstVu HD.
6. Power on your
In-Car Video
system (ICV).
7. Start a recorded event by activating your emergency lights.
8. The Red status indicator on VuLink will turn on to indicate the event is being recorded.
The Red status indicator on the FirstVu HD and ICV should also turn on indicating that
they are also recording.
Whenever VuLink is connected to a FirstVu HD and the system is actively
recording, all 3 VuLink status indicators will remain illuminated.
9. After 10 seconds, press the RECORD STOP button on your ICV to stop the recorded
event. Press the stop button on your FirstVu HD. All Red status indicators on the ICV,
VuLink, and FirstVu HD will turn off.
10. Press the record button on your FirstVu HD to start a new recording. All Red status
LED’s on VuLink, FirstVu HD, and ICV will illuminate to indicate the system is recording.
11. Press the RECORD Stop button on your ICV to stop the recorded event. Press the stop
button on your FirstVu HD. All Red status LED’s on the DVM, VuLink, and FirstVu HD
will turn off.
