4.2 Format Disk

The Format Disk option will erase all the information on the hard-drive and set

up the proprietary file structure the system uses to store information.

This option is also chosen when a new hard-drive is used in the DVR for the

first time.

4.3 System Update

The software inside The Trooper™ DVR can be upgraded in the field as new

features are added. The System Update option will make the DVR read the

new software from the Compact Flash memory card (CF Card) and

reprogram itself.

The software update must be

obtained from Seon Design™.

Attempting to load other

software will not work.

To install a software update, a CF Card must be formatted from a Windows

computer using the ‘FAT’ file format. The software update file is then loaded

onto the CF Card.

Plug the CF Card into the slot on the front of the DVR and choose the ‘YES’

option from the above menu. The screen will display ‘LOADING FILE…’ as it

reads the information from the CF Card. The screen will then display

‘PROGRAMMING’ as the DVR reprograms itself. After it has reprogrammed,

the menu will go back to the System/Defaults menu and ‘SUCCESS’ will be

displayed beside the System Update option.
