Test Button
The test button will not
trigger playlists. It will
only trigger videos
that are named using
the VIDxxxxx.MPG
convention.
A push-button is located on the front of the unit. This button is used to “test” play the
unit and will play the lowest number video file on the media. For example, if the
media contained the files VID00001.MPG and VID00002.MPG, VID00001.MPG would
be triggered by the test button.
The test button is also used to format the Compact Flash card. If you hold in the test
button while inserting the card, a format operation will take place. While formatting,
the Status LED will turn orange. The operation varies in duration based on media
size and type. It can take anywhere from 1-60 seconds to format the card. The
operation is complete when the status LED turns off.
IMPORTANT: Formatting will result in the loss of all data on the Compact Flash
card!

Configuration DIP Switches
Two sets of Configuration DIP Switches are located on the side of the DVM. One set
contains a bank of four switches, while the other has two switches. In this section,
ON refers to the DIP switch being in the DOWN position, while OFF means it is in the
UP position.
NOTE: On some models, you may be required to flip open the DVM’s top panel to
access the configuration DIP switches. Also, be sure to configure these switches
before mounting the DVM or they may be inaccessible.
