Kalatel VDR 1-10 0150-0255C
Master CF card
The Master CF card is used to store and transfer the resident QuickWave application back onto Blank
HDD’s that can be inserted into the VDR. A blank HDD is defined as one not containing QuickWave
software.
Creating a Master CF card
Upon initial use of the VDR:
1. Insert the selected CF card to be used as a Master in the CF card slot with the label (top)
facing to the right. Slide in the card until it is firmly seated in the socket. The following message
will appear.
Compact Flash detected. Initializing...
Compact Flash
2. If the CF card is formatted QuickWave will be copied to it without any user intervention. A
“Writing QuickWave” status bar will display. To format an unformatted CF card please go the
Format command in the Main Menu under Compact Flash. The Format command places a
FAT16 file system on the CF card. Please note that formatting the CF card permanently erases
any data currently stored on that card. After formatting, QuickWave is automatically copied to
the CF card.
3. Remove the Master CF card and label it “Master CF card”. GE Interlogix recommends that this
Master CF card be stored in a safe place for use whenever a new and blank HDD is inserted
into the VDR.
Note: When a new HDD is detected in the VDR, the VDR will request that the Master
CompactFlash be inserted in the CF card slot so that QuickWave may be copied to it.
Units equipped from the factory with HDDs have QuickWave preinstalled.
To Use a CF card:
1. Stop all recording or playback operations on the VDR.
2. Insert the CF card into the CF card slot with the label (top) facing to the right. Slide in the card
until it is firmly seated in the socket. The following message will appear.
