FILE NOT FOUND Failed attempt to read a data file or configuration file due to the fact
that no such file exists on the memory card. Get the correct card.
FORMAT CARD Card is incompatible or unformatted. Requires formatting.
OVERWRITE CONFIG. FILE? A config file already exists on the memory card. Writing to
the card will overwrite this existing file. The unit is checking
user intent. Press the UP ARROW key to overwrite the
existing file, any other key to exit.
STOP RECORDING FIRST The function you are trying to perform cannot be done while
the unit is in record mode. Stop recording and try again.
TEST FAIL The card has errors on it and did not pass the card test. Try
reformatting the card or swap the card.
APPENDIX C - MASTER RESET
The master reset is used to restore all factory defaults to the unit. It is used in the unlikely
event of the unit losing or corrupting the contents of its nonvolatile memory. All user
configurations will be lost.
To reset the unit to the factory defaults, hold the two outer keypad buttons down
simultaneously (The DOWN and LEFT arrows) while powering up the unit. Wait two to
three seconds and then release.
APPENDIX D – RE-PROGRAMMING FIRMWARE
The operating firmware in the unit is programmed into flash memory and can be updated in
the field. It is loaded from the compact flash card. User’s can upgrade their firmware by
simply downloading the latest firmware from the Company website, saving it onto the
CompactFlash™ card, inserting the CompactFlash™ card into the unit and following the
steps below. Before updating firmware save existing configurations and language files –
see below.
The upgrade file is named DC125XXX.hex where XXX reflects the firmware revision
number. Once this file is on the CompactFlash™ card, insert the card into the unit and turn
the power off. Press and hold the MENU button and Left Arrow (◄) simultaneously and
power the unit back on.
The POWER LED will come on fully bright; the other will blink as the card is accessed. If
the program is loaded successfully, the two LEDs will alternate. If the load failed, the two
LEDs will blink in unison. It takes 10 to 15 seconds to load the program. If the load should
fail, try it again. If it still fails, reload the file on the card. Remove the power and re-apply it.
The screen will show the latest firmware revision and build date.
Recommended handling of alternate languages during a firmware update procedure:
 If no backup file of the alternate language file exists, then use SAVE LANG.
function to save it now, before the firmware update is performed.
 Perform the FIRMWARE update, described above.
 Use the LOAD LANG. function to re-install the alternate language.
Should there be any changes in the menuing or other messages as a result of the new
FIRMWARE, only the still existing message strings will retain the alternate language
equivalents. English items removed will automatically omit the alternate language variation.
New English items will not already have an alternate language variation and will remain in
English when displayed. The user can check for this by reviewing all the menus manually.
An easier way is to use SAVE LANG. to make a new file and then visually inspect that for
