User manual

In the case of problems with the operation of the Cinedeck, there are some issues that are related to the operating system and may most simply be
solved by resetting the Cinedeck to its factory settings. This is usually the result of changing settings or installing 3rd party software that is not compat-
ible with the Cinedeck version of the Windows Embedded operating system.
In general, it is a good idea to keep your restore disk up to date so that in the case of a field restore, your software will be current without installing it
separately.
The software update file is located at:
address: ftp://ftp.dbox.com
username: cinedeckupdate
password: update123
Folder: Cinedeck Program Update
Restoring the Cinedeck to factory settings:
NB: This will erase files you have saved or created on the C: drive previously, including any programs installed that are not part of the Cinedeck environ-
ment.
1) Insert the OS restore thumb drive in one of the two USB ports located on the right end
panel of the Cinedeck.
2) Power on the Cinedeck
3) Let the restore run through fully. You will see a progress bar to indicate time remaining.
4) When the restore is complete and the cursor is flashing at the bottom of the screen,
(about 3-4min) power off the Cinedeck by holding down the power switch for 3-4
seconds.
5) Remove the USB thumb drive.
NB: At this point, make sure you have a fresh battery or wall power for the Cinedeck.
6) Power on the cinedeck
7) Let the Cinedeck start up completely and the Cinedeck software load.
8) Go to setup:prefs
9) Press “reset prefs” (this is simply for good measure)
10) Go to setup:prefs
11) Press “exit app”
NB: Skip steps 12 through 14 if there is no firmware update dialog pop-up; you can simply launch the cinedeck program from the desktop instead.
12) On the screen in Windows Desktop, there may be a firmware upgrade dialog pop-up window.
13) Press “ok” to update the firmware
NB: Do not shut down or power off the Cinedeck while the firmware upgrade runs!!
It will damage the device.
14) Once the firmware upgrade has completed, it will prompt you to press ‘restart’ to
complete the process.
15) It may be necessary to modify the battery meter COM port setting if you do not see a reading in the
battery meter display when a battery is connected and the battery meter preferences setting is on.
SEE: “Setting the battery meter COM port” in this guide.
Please email [e-mail] if you have any issues or need help with this process.
