B8 HISTORY MAINTENANCE OPTION
This option, which must be specifi ed at time of order, is intended for use by hire companies etc. who
have a requirement to remove all customer data from recorders which are not fi tted with the 'Simulation'
option (which includes an 'Erase all history' job). See
section 4.3.22
for a description of the Simulation op-
tion. The History maintenance option is not enabled in Trial Mode' (
section 4.3.22
).
The erase history procedure consists of entering a special keycode into the System\Upgrade\Key Code
area (
section 4.6.3
) and operating the 'Apply' button.
CAUTION
The option should be used with discretion, as once the history has been erased, it can never be
regained.

Notes:
1. This operation can be carried out only from the recorder's operator interface. It is not possible
to extract the keycode or to erase history from a remote pc.

enabled in the 'Security' menu (

erase operation.

2. Highlight this fi le, and copy it using the Filer Options menu 'Copy' key.
3. With a memory device (e.g. SD card, Memory stick etc.) inserted, use the Filer
Options menu 'Paste' key to save the fi le into the removable media area.
4. Move the storage device from the recorder to a pc, and open the fi le in an ap-
propriate program (e.g. 'Notebook') to reveal a key code.

erations for this recorder.
