system (a MRS/TMRS device, an MRS Monitor application or a MRS Service). If a digital 
signature has been assigned to a recorded file, it can be verified in the MRS AV Player 
Application. Follow these instructions: 

Once the recorded file is opened in the MRS AV Player, open the 

“Misc”

 menu and select 

“Verify Signature”

.

or 

“Signature Rejected (BAD)”
