    SBA1HM Rev120113 Vehicle Data Recorder Access to VDR stored data and programming is password protected. All communications with the VDR are accomplished using HAWK software. HAWK software is loaded on a laptop or personal computer and provides the interface to change programming in the VDR, update VDR programs, or access data stored in the VDR.
  • Page 15 SBA1HM Rev120113 LEDs The VDR has two status LED indicators. Operation of the VDR is automatic. STATUS POWER LED This LED is on when the VDR has activity on any VDR input. When the VDR is in sleep mode (inactive) this LED will blink. The VDR is connected to the battery and always has power.

  • Page 16: Wireless Communications

    There are two ways to collect data from the wireless VDR. Use the data collector or the FRC wireless interface module plugged into a computer USB port. When data is collected from the VDR using the data collector, it needs to be transferred to the computer.
