Troubleshooting
Before requesting service, check the points listed below. If the problem persists,
contact your local Panasonic dealer.
Starting up
• Check whether power cable is connected
correctly.
• Check whether a timer device is inserted in the
power supply for the recorder. Refer to the
installation manual and connect the timer
equipment correctly.
• Check the time lag setting between SIGNAL off
and recorder power-off. For details, see the
documentation of the Toughbook-Arbitrator
Front End Software.
Operation
• Are you using the supplied key?
• Is the cover closed? The key can only be
removed if the cover is closed.
• Is a P2 card inserted correctly in a P2 card slot?
• Is the EJECT button folded to the right?
• Is the supplied LAN cable (crossing type) being
used? Connect the recorder and the computer
on which the Toughbook-Arbitrator Front End
Software is running directly, not via a hub.
• Are the network settings on the computer
correct? Subnet mask of the recorder and that
of the computer must be the same. For details,
see the documentation of the Toughbook-
Arbitrator Front End Software.
• When you press and hold the REC button and
STOP button on the recorder simultaneously for
about 10 seconds, the recorder will restart.
Reset the computer after this.
• 
To reset the unit, hold down the REC button and STOP
button on the front panel together for about 10 seconds.
All LEDs go out for 1 - 2 seconds and then light
up for 1 - 2 seconds. Reset is now possible.
• If you remove the P2 card during P2 card
access (BUSY LED is lit), the P2 card slot may
become inoperative. In such a case, the
recorder automatically restarts itself, and the
card slot will become operative again.
Recorder
Cover cannot be opened. Power does not come on.
Power gets turned off
automatically.
Key cannot be removed
from lock.
Control from Toughbook-

become totally or partially
unusable.
Troubleshooting (continued)
Recording
(Check this with the Toughbook-Arbitrator Front
End Software.)
• Is a P2 card inserted?
• Does the P2 card have sufficient free space?
Check the free space with the Toughbook-
Arbitrator Front End Software. Upload files and
free up space.
• Make sure that the write-protect switch of the P2
card is not set to PROTECT.
• Is the GPIO cable connected properly? Also
connect the ground line of the GPIO cable. For
details, see the installation manual.
• Are the settings for the GPIO/SERIAL port
correct? For details, see the documentation of
the Toughbook-Arbitrator Front End Software.
• Is the P2 card usable? If file information cannot
be obtained using the Toughbook-Arbitrator
Front End Software, you should format the P2
card. For information on formatting, see the
installation manual. (When you format a P2
card, all existing data on it will be erased.)
• If the power source was interrupted or if the
power cable was disconnected during recording,
data may become corrupted. Ensure that power
is never interrupted during recording. In some
cases, it may be possible to restore corrupted
data using the Toughbook-Arbitrator Front End
Software.Cannot start recording.

Troubleshooting (continued)
(Check this with the Toughbook-Arbitrator Front
End Software.)
• Are camera and video monitoring equipment
connected properly?
• Are both the video input connector selection and
the input selection made with the Toughbook-
Arbitrator Front End Software the same?
• Are the video output settings correct for the
connected equipment? Connect a monitor to the
VIDEO OUT connector on the rear panel of the
recorder and check the picture.
(Check this with the Toughbook-Arbitrator Front
End Software.)
• Is the cable connection to the audio input
correct?
• Are both the audio input connector selection
and the input selection made with the
Toughbook-Arbitrator Front End Software the
same?
• Are the audio output settings correct for the
connected equipment? Consult the
documentation of the connected equipment to
check this.
• Check the audio settings at the computer.
(Check this with the Toughbook-Arbitrator Front
End Software.)
• Are the communication settings of the
connected equipment and the settings for the
SERIAL port of the recorder the same? Check
this while referring to the documentation for
connected equipment and the Toughbook-
Arbitrator Front End Software.Video is distorted or not

Starting up and during operating
• Is the camera cable connected correctly? Check
this while referring to the installation manual.
• Immediately after power-on or when switching
to IR mode, a mechanical operation sound will
be heard. This is not a malfunction of the
camera.
• During zoom, some operation noise will be
heard. This is not a defect.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim
copies of this license document, but changing it is not
allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away
your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the
GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee
your freedom to share and change free software--to make
sure the software is free for all its users. This General
Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Foundation’s software and to any other program whose
authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software
Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library
General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your
programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to
freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are
designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this
service if you wish), that you receive source code or can
get it if you want it, that you can change the software or
use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know
you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that
forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to
surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain
responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the
software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program,
whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all
the rights that you have. You must make sure that they,
too, receive or can get the source code. And you must
show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the
software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you
legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the
software.
Also, for each authors protection and ours, we want to
make certain that everyone understands that there is no
warranty for this free software. If the software is modified
by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to
know that what they have is not the original, so that any
problems introduced by others will not reflect on the
original authors’ reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by
software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that
redistributors of a free program will individually obtain
patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary.
To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent
must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at
all.  
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution
and modification follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSETERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,
DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work
which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder
saying it may be distributed under the terms of this
General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers to
any such program or work, and a “work based on the
Program” means either the Program or any derivative
work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim
or with modifications and/or translated into another
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without
limitation in the term “modification”.) Each licensee is
addressed as “you”.
Activities other than copying, distribution and
modification are not covered by this License; they are
outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not
restricted, and the output from the Program is covered
only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Program (independent of having been made by running
the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the
Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the
Program’s source code as you receive it, in any
medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
all the notices that refer to this License and to the
absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients
of the Program a copy of this License along with the
Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring
a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or
any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the
Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or
work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that
you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent
notices stating that you changed the files and the
date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or
publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived
from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed
as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the
terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands
interactively when run, you must cause it, when
started running for such interactive use in the most
ordinary way, to print or display an announcement
including an appropriate copyright notice and a
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that
you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these conditions, and
telling the user how to view a copy of this License.
(Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
does not normally print such an announcement, your
work based on the Program is not required to print an
announcement.) 
						

							37
GPL (continued)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a
whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived
from the Program, and can be reasonably considered
independent and separate works in themselves, then this
License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections
when you distribute them as separate works.  But when
you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which
is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the
whole must be on the terms of this License, whose
permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole,
and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or
contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather,
the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution
of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based
on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on
the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution
medium does not bring the other work under  the scope of
this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work
based on it,under Section 2) in object code or
executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding
machine-readable source code, which must be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above on a medium customarily used for software
interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least
three years, to give any third party, for a charge no
more than your cost of physically performing source
distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of
the corresponding source code, to be distributed
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
medium customarily used for software interchange;
or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to
the offer to distribute corresponding source code.
(This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial
distribution and only if you received the program in
object code or executable form with such an offer, in
accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of
the work for making modifications to it. For an executable
work, complete source code means all the source code for
all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
and installation of the executable. However, as a special
exception, the source code distributed need not include
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or
binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel,
and so on) of the operating system on which the
executable runs, unless that component itself
accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by
offering access to copy from a designated place, then
offering equivalent access to copy the source code from
the same place counts as distribution of the source code,even though third parties are not compelled to copy the
source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the
Program except as expressly provided under this
License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights,
from you under this License will not have their licenses
terminated so long as such parties remain in full
compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you
have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you
permission to modify or distribute the Program or its
derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if
you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying
or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License
to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
distributing or modifying the Program or works based on
it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work
based on the Program), the recipient automatically
receives a license from the original licensor to copy,
distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms
and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights
granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing
compliance by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation
of patent infringement or for any other reason (not
limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you
(whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that
contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you
cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your
obligations under this License and any other pertinent
obligations, then as a consequence you may not
distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the
Program by all those who receive copies directly or
indirectly through you, then the only way you could
satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain
entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or
unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the
balance of the section is intended to apply and the section
as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. 
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to
infringe any patents or other property right claims or to
contest validity of any such claims; this section has the
sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software
distribution system, which is implemented by public
license practices. Many people have made generous
contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application of
that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or
she is willing to distribute software through any other
system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is 
						

							38
GPL (continued)
believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted
in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the
Program under this License may add an explicit
geographical distribution limitation excluding those
countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or
among countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this
License incorporates the limitation as if written in the
body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised
and/or new versions of the General Public License from
time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit
to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If
the Program specifies a version number of this License
which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the
option of following the terms and conditions either of that
version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a
version number of this License, you may choose any
version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into
other free programs whose distribution conditions are
different, write to the author to ask for permission. For
software which is copyrighted by the Free Software
Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we
sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will
be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting
the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF
CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE
PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE
STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS
AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE
ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.
SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU
ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY
SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE
LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY
COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY
WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE
PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO
YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL,
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSESSUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH
ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER
OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim
copies of this license document, but changing it is not
allowed.
[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also
counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public
License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away
your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the
GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee
your freedom to share and change free software--to make
sure the software is free for all its users.
This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to
some specially designated software packages--typically
libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other
authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we
suggest you first think carefully about whether this license
or the ordinary General Public License is the better
strategy to use in any particular case, based on the
explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to
freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses
are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this
service if you wish); that you receive source code or can
get it if you want it; that you can change the software and
use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are
informed that you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that
forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to
surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to
certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of
the library or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the
rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they,
too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other
code with the library, you must provide complete object
files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the
library after making changes to the library and recompiling
it. And you must show them these terms so they know
their rights.
We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we
copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license,
which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or
modify the library.
To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear
that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the
library is modified by someone else and passed on, the
recipients should know that what they have is not the
original version, so that the original author’s reputation will
not be affected by problems that might be introduced by
others.
Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the
existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that
a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free
program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patentholder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license
obtained for a version of the library must be consistent
with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered
by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license,
the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain
designated libraries, and is quite different from the
ordinary General Public License. We use this license for
certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries
into non-free programs.
When a program is linked with a library, whether statically
or using a shared library, the combination of the two is
legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the
original library. The ordinary General Public License
therefore permits such linking only if the entire
combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other
code with the library. 
We call this license the “Lesser” General Public License
because it does Less to protect the user’s freedom than
the ordinary General Public License. It also provides other
free software developers Less of an advantage over
competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are
the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for
many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides
advantages in certain special circumstances.
For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special
need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain
library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve
this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library.
A more frequent case is that a free library does the same
job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is
little to gain by limiting the free library to free software
only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
In other cases, permission to use a particular library in
non-free programs enables a greater number of people to
use a large body of free software. For example,
permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs
enables many more people to use the whole GNU
operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux
operating system.
Although the Lesser General Public License is Less
protective of the users’ freedom, it does ensure that the
user of a program that is linked with the Library has the
freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a
modified version of the Library.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution
and modification follow. Pay close attention to the
difference between a “work based on the library” and a
“work that uses the library”. The former contains code
derived from the library, whereas the latter must be
combined with the library in order to run.
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,
DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library
or other program which contains a notice placed by the
copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may
be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General
Public License (also called “this License”). Each
licensee is addressed as “you”.
A “library” means a collection of software functions and/or 
						

							40
LGPL (continued)
data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with
application programs (which use some of those functions
and data) to form executables.
The “Library”, below, refers to any such software library or
work which has been distributed under these terms. A
“work based on the Library” means either the Library or
any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a
work containing the Library or a portion of it, either
verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter,
translation is included without limitation in the term
“modification”.)
“Source code” for a work means the preferred form of the
work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete
source code means all the source code for all modules it
contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus
the scripts used to control compilation and installation of
the library.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification
are not covered by this License; they are outside its
scope. The act of running a program using the Library is
not restricted, and output from such a program is covered
only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library
(independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing
it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
and what the program that uses the Library does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the
Library’s complete source code as you receive it, in any
medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
all the notices that refer to this License and to the
absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this
License along with the Library.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection
in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or
any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the
Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or
work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that
you also meet all of these conditions:
a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent
notices stating that you changed the files and the
date of any change.
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed
at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this
License.
d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function
or a table of data to be supplied by an application
program that uses the facility, other than as an
argument passed when the facility is invoked, then
you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in
the event an application does not supply such
function or table, the facility still operates, and
performs whatever part of its purpose remains
meaningful.
(For example, a function in a library to compute square
roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined
independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection
2d requires that any application-supplied function ortable used by this function must be optional: if the
application does not supply it, the square root function
must still compute square roots.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a
whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived
from the Library, and can be reasonably considered
independent and separate works in themselves, then this
License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections
when you distribute them as separate works. But when
you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which
is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the
whole must be on the terms of this License, whose
permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole,
and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or
contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather,
the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution
of derivative or collective works based on the Library.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based
on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on
the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution
medium does not bring the other work under the scope of
this License.
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU
General Public License instead of this License to a
given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all
the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer
to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
instead of to this License. (If a newer version than
version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License
has appeared, then you can specify that version instead
if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these
notices.
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible
for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License
applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works
made from that copy.
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the
code of the Library into a program that is not a library.
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or
executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
