8.3 ALARM RECORDING
You can switch from all recording modes to the 2H-96H alarm recording mode by
applying an alarm signal to the SET IN (alarm input) terminal on the rear panel.
• You can switch to alarm recording by applying the alarm input signal from the
alarm sensor during recording in 2H, 6H, L18H, 72H, or 96H.
• Set the alarm recording mode and alarm recording period in the Recording
Set Up menu. Refer to Section 6.7 for instructions.
• The index signal is automatically recorded when alarm recording begins (IN-
DEX indicator flashes on the fluorescent display).
• To record the index signal, the first 15 seconds of the alarm recording are in
2H or 6H mode.
• If another alarm input signal is applied to the SET IN (alarm input) terminal
while the index signal is being recorded (for 15 seconds), a new alarm record-
ing will not be triggered.
