 WARNING: Cable and harness slack
Ensure cables and harnesses have slack and can move
freely with the recorder without being pulled to the side
or away from the connector. A 4-inch diameter loop is
normally sucient.
 WARNING: Noise suppression
Do not use the output of a noise suppression solenoid
as a recorder ignition or power source. If no true ignition
or power source can be readily found, consult the bus
schematic bus or manufacturer to locate a proper source.
 WARNING: Automatic drive formatting
Storage media might not be recognized on recorders running
different rmware. By design, unrecognized media automatically
formats when inserted into a recorder, so recording can
commence. Customers who swap cartridges between recorders
should ensure each recorder has the same rmware version.

Step 4a. Analog Cameras (click the Analog tab)
Ch: Leave at default settings unless you need to customize camera display locations in Live and
Playback views.
Source: If red font is displayed, a camera is not connected to the corresponding port, or the
connected camera type does not match the current selection; choose the appropriate setting for
the connected camera type as required.
Title: For each camera, enter a title that describes the view it records, such as: Front, Step, Mid, or
Rear. Titles display here as well as on the camera view overlays.
