Insert a P2 card in the card slot and close the
slot cover.
• Confirm that the P2 CARD ACCESS LED for the
inserted card slot lights up in orange. When P2
cards are installed in both card slots, the P2 CARD
ACCESS LED for the first inserted card (that was
first accessed) will light orange while the P2 CARD
ACCESS LED for a subsequently inserted card will
light green.
• If the access LED for the P2 card slot in which a
P2 card is inserted keeps blinking in green, or if
there is no display, recording is not possible on
that particular P2 card.
