Notes on handling
Installation
• Install the recorder and camera
properly as described in the
installation manual, so that the
units cannot come loose or fall off.
• Do not place heavy objects on the
power cable and other connection
cables.
• Do not exceed the rating of any
connection cables and other wiring
parts.
• Use only the supplied accessories
and specified optional accessories.
• Keep the recorder, camera, P2
card, power cable and connection
cables away from heat sources.
• Protect the recorder, camera and
P2 cards from oily smoke,
humidity, moisture, and dust.
• Do not touch the power supply
connector with wet hands.
• Do not block the ventilation holes
of the recorder.
Usage
• The recorder is designed to be
powered from a 12-volt source. It
cannot be used in vehicles with a
different electrical source voltage.
(Never connect the recorder to a
24-volt source.)
• When using the recorder for the
first time or after reconnecting it to
the power supply, be sure to set
the date, time, and time zone of
the internal clock using the
Toughbook-Arbitrator Front End
Software.
• Do not place any container with
liquid or any small metal objects
on top of the recorder, camera, or
P2 card.
• Do not insert any foreign objects
into the openings of the unit.
• Do not attempt to modify the
recorder, camera, or P2 card.
• Take care not to damage the
power cable or connection cables.
Do not modify, bend, twist, curl, or
pull these parts or subject them to
a strong stress force. Also avoid
exposure to high temperatures.
• Protect the recorder, camera, and
P2 cards from moisture and do not
expose them to water.
• Do not place heavy objects on the
recorder or camera and do not
step on these parts. Do not
suspend any heavy objects from
the mounted camera.
• Before moving the recorder or
camera, be sure to disconnect the
power cable and other connection
cables.
• Do not handle the recorder or
camera while driving a vehicle.
• Only P2 type memory cards can
be used in the recorder. Do not
use any other type of card,
because this will damage the
recorder.
• When inserting a P2 card, proceed
carefully and do not use excessive
force. Otherwise the P2 card or
the card slot will be damaged.
• Do not insert the P2 card upside
down.
• Do not insert a damaged or
deformed P2 card. 
						

							22
• Do not disconnect the power cable
while the recorder is operating. Be
sure to perform recorder shutdown
before disconnecting the cable.
Otherwise recorder setting files
and P2 card managing information
may be lost or damaged.
When the SIGNAL pin at the DC
IN connector goes OFF, the
recorder will perform shutdown
after an interval set with the
Toughbook-Arbitrator Front End
Software.
• Do not open the cover during P2
card access (BUSY LED is lit or
flashing). Do not exert undue force
on the cover to prevent damage.
• Never remove the P2 card from
the card slot during P2 card
access (BUSY LED is lit or
flashing). Otherwise data on the
P2 card will be destroyed.
• Take care not to pinch your fingers
in the P2 card slots or the cover.
• Protect the connector section of
the P2 card from dust, sand,
moisture etc. If a card has been
exposed to any of these, do not
insert it in the P2 card slot.
• Take care that no dust, sand,
moisture etc. can enter a P2 card
slot.
• Before closing the cover, make
sure that the EJECT button is
folded to the right.
• Do not exert undue force on the
EJECT button to prevent damage.What to do in case of a problem
• If the recorder or camera was
dropped, or if a foreign substance
has entered a unit, stop recording,
shut down the unit and disconnect
the power cable.
• If a component emits smoke,
unusual smell or noise, or if
another problem occurs,
disconnect the power cable.
Maintenance
• Before performing any
maintenance operation, make sure
that the recorder is not operating
and then disconnect the power
cable.
• Regularly check the ventilation
holes for blockage by dust etc.
