Firmware Credit System
The credits system is a flexible way of changing the recorder features without having to up-
grade the firmware. Simply purchase a number of credits to cover your current and possibly
future requirements and the recorder is delivered with the credits loaded. The credit value
in each recorder is displayed in the Factory menu.
Select the Options button and by activating and de-activating the options in the credit list,
the recorder will change its functionality. Go from: Main Menu > Configure > Setup > Edit >
General > Factory > Credits.
