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 Pro DVR and void the warranty.
Apply DC power and, after about 20 seconds 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 Pro DVR’s status.
Important:
Before making a recording, ensure there is
enough space available or preferably, clear the Compact
Flash card (see page 3). Card space may be checked on a PC
or by making a trial recording and viewing the Pro DVR’s
Status Lamp (as described below).
To start recording close the Record Switch. Once recording,
the Recording Lamp will illuminate and the Status Lamp will
flash green for 3 seconds with a mark space ratio showing the
capacity remaining:
