Operation when the hard disk drive becomes full “REC•STANDBY”(Recording standby): The unit stops re- cording at the moment its hard disk becomes full. The unit will begin recording by over-writing its hard disk when the unit receives an alarm signal or a REC terminal signal, or when the REC button is pushed.

“ALARM•PROT”(Alarm protection): If there is even one instance of Alarm Recording to finish setting, the unit will stop recording the moment its hard disk becomes full and will display the HDD FULL message on the monitor. When WRNG is entered as the BUZZER value (found in the <REAR TERMINAL> menu), the buzzer will also be acti- vated. When the CALL OUT value (found in the <REAR TERMINAL> menu) is ON, a CALL OUT signal will be emitted from the CALL OUT terminal. If there are no instances of Alarm Recording during recording, the unit will continue recording by automatically over-writing its hard disk.

“STOP”: The unit will stop recording at the moment the hard disk becomes full, and will display the HDD FULL message on the monitor. When WRNG is entered as the BUZZER value (found in the <REAR TERMINAL> menu), the buzzer will also be activated. The unit will stop recording when there is no more storage space in memory. When the CALL OUT value (found in the <REAR TERMINAL> menu) is ON, a CALL OUT signal will be emitted from the CALL OUT terminal.To restart over-writing on the hard disk, first press the WARNING RESET button to cancel HDD FULL, and then press the REC button.

Series Recording

By connecting multiple units as show in the chart below and selecting REC•STANDBY in the HDD Repeat Recording setting, this unit can perform Series Recording. In Series Recording, when the first unit’s hard disk has become full, the second unit automatically begins recording.

4.Check that the “HDD” is flashing. Turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right.

Choose the HDD so that the second unit begins recording when the first unit’s hard disk approaches its storage limit.

The flashing will move to capacity setting.

INFORMATION

In this example, when the first unit’s hard disk reaches its maximum storage capacity, the

second unit will begin recording; when the second unit’s hard disk reaches its maximum storage ca- pacity, the first unit will begin recording by over-writing its hard disk. If you do not want the first unit to begin the over-writing process, then configure the system as illustrated in the graph (see 1 above). The Series Recording function can also be put into effect by connecting the CALL OUT terminal in place of the MODE OUT terminal, and the disk storage capacity setting is made in the <CALL OUT> menu. When the CALL OUT terminal is used, if the first unit experiences malfunction or cannot otherwise continue recording, the second unit will initiate its recording process.

8.Display the <INITIAL SET UP> menu.

Press the SET UP button to display the <MENU SETTING> menu. Move the cursor to INITIAL SET UP and turn the SHUTTLE ring to the right.
