All recordings are stored on the Compact Flash (CF) card. Before the
DVM-500 system can be operated, an activated CF card must be
installed in the DVM.
Inserting or Removing the Compact Flash Card
The DVM has a special access door that must be opened with the
included key before the CF card can be accessed.
Important: Do not insert or remove the CF card while the unit is
powered on. Briefly press the MENU button before removing the
card and look for any activity on the LCD screen. The CF card may
be safely removed from the DVM if no activity is notice on the LCD
screen.
NOTE: This procedure may require two hands and should not be
attempted while driving the vehicle.
How to unlock and open the access door:
1. Align the end of the key with the slots and stud of key hole. The
key hole is located on the bottom of the unit, next to the metal CF
card access door.
2. Insert the key into the key hole (key should push in approximately
1/8”). Do not rotate or turn the key, it simply pushes into the
keyhole.
3. While keeping the key inserted into the keyhole, use the black
knob to slide open the door until it stops (approximately 1/4”).
4. Remove the key from the key hole and then slide the door open
the rest of the way to access the CF card.
Note: The white label on the back side of the CF card should be visible when
inserting the CF card into the DVM. Please refer to the picture on the left.
