Chapter 4. Operation
To make a recording:
Check that video, power and a Record Switch are connected
as described in Chapter 3. Check that the Record Switch is
set to the open (off) position.
!
A red marker on the Record Switch indicates when it is in the
recording position.
If not already installed, open the waterproof door and ensure
the Eject Button is pushed fully home. Insert a Compact
Flash card into the slot until it is flush with the opening.
Once inserted, close the waterproof door.
!
The Compact Flash card must only be inserted with its
manufacturer’s label facing downwards and the lip
uppermost. If there is resistance, the card is probably upside
down. Attempting to insert the card incorrectly will damage
the DVR2 and void the warranty.
Apply DC power and after about a 20 second delay (while
the system boots up), the Status Lamp on the front panel will
light showing the status of the unit.
If the Status Lamp shows static green the system is ready to
record.
If the Status Lamp is not static green, refer to the table below
to find out the DVR2’s status.
!
Before making a recording, ensure there is enough space
available or preferably, clear the Compact Flash card (see
page 4). Card space may be checked on a PC or by making
a trial recording and viewing the DVR2’s Status Lamp (as
described below).
