7. Keypad Standard Keys
The bottom two rows of keys on the FS-3 keypad have dedicated functions such as fast forward/back search, play, record, and index forward back. Each key (except record) also has a SHIFT mode which allows a secondary function to be performed.
LCD DISPLAY
The FS-3 LCD screen displays different FS-3 modes and states. On boot up, FS-3 will display the following screen:
Depending on the connected disk drive, FS-3 may or may not display “Please Wait” during boot up.
Once booted up, if no disk drive is connected to the FS-3 (either through the internal slot or externally via the HDD I/O port), the following screen will appear:
Insert a FireStore FSHDD-1 FireWire HDD
to the internal drive slot or connect a FireWire disk drive to the HDD I/O port. If a FSHDD-1 FireWire HDD comes from the factory, it should be configured and ready to use. If the message
“No Disk Detected” appears, ensure you have a FSHDD-1 FireWire HDD inserted properly. If the message “No Format Detected” appears, you will first need to partition and format the inserted drive. FS-3 will prompt you through the steps required to perform a format. WARNING: Formatting will erase all data on disk!
Once ready for use, the FS-3 default Splash Screen will appear as follows:
