WARNING: Cable and harness slack
Ensure cables and harnesses have slack and can move
freely with the recorder without being pulled to the side
or away from the connector. A 4-inch diameter loop is
normally sucient.
WARNING: Noise suppression
Do not use the output of a noise suppression solenoid
as a recorder ignition or power source. If no true ignition
or power source can be readily found, consult the bus
schematic bus or manufacturer to locate a proper source.
WARNING: Automatic drive formatting
Storage media might not be recognized on recorders running
different rmware. By design, unrecognized media automatically
formats when inserted into a recorder, so recording can
commence. Customers who swap cartridges between recorders
should ensure each recorder has the same rmware version.
