AUTOREVERSE: When this function is set to ON, the Digital BUS-WATCH® will record
continuously. When the hard drive is full, the recording "loops" around to overwrite the
oldest data as it records new data. When this function is set to OFF, the recording will
stop when the hard drive is full.
CLEAR HD: This function is used to erase all the video information stored on the hard
drive. To do this, set the function to ON, then exit the Recording Options menu. Upon
exiting the menu, the hard drive will be erased.
Warning: Executing this command is irrevocable! Do NOT set this function to ON
unless you are sure. Once it is completed, the unit will be unable to access any video
information previously stored on the hard drive.
