DVM-500 System – Initial Setup

1. VideoManager should be installed and configured on a computer

running Windows XP SP2 before using the DVM for the first time.

Vehicles, Users, and Event IDs are defined during the initial setup of

VideoManager. Please refer to the VideoManager User’s Guide for

instructions.

2. The DVM’s CF card comes with 2 default login settings already

configured, and they are as follows:

User1 – Password = 22222

Admin – Password = 11111

3. The DVM has been shipped with a 4GB CF card already installed. The

memory card must be fully inserted before powering up the unit or a

message “initializing CF card” will appear on the screen and the unit will

fail to start up. Please note that the DVM requires high-speed memory

cards. SanDisk brand Ultra II and Extreme III cards are the only CF

cards approved for use in the DVM. A 4GB CF card will not be included

with DVM-500 systems that are ordered with an 8GB or 16GB CF card.

Important: Do not force the CF card into the slot. Doing so may

permanently damage the DVM. The card only goes in one way, with

the back side of the card towards the front of the DVM and the colorful

label side facing the back of the DVM. The memory card should slide in

easily with slight resistance as the card seats into the slot. If the card is

difficult to insert, pull it back out and make sure it is facing the right

direction and align it carefully with the slot as the card is reinserted. The

white label side should be facing towards the back of the vehicle, as

seen in the picture to the left.

Important: Do not insert or remove the CF card while the

DVM is powered on!

4. The main camera must be connected to the DVM using the included

cable. If it is not connected, the DVM will display the message “Power

down and connect camera” after logging in.

5. The wireless microphone (RMT) must be fully charged before using it

with the DVM. The RMT can be charged using the in-car charging cradle

or the desktop charging cradle. Two charging cradles are included in the

DVM-500 kit: one for vehicle use and one for desktop use.

Important: Charge the RMT for 12-16 hours before using it for

the first time. Failure to fully charge the RMT may result in

permanent loss of battery capacity. After an initial charge, the

RMT should fully recharge in approximately 4-5 hours.

(Steps continue on next page)

Digital Ally DVM User Guide Rev. F (334/1.6.2) Page 2of 36

6. In order to use the wireless microphone (RMT), an antenna must be

attached to the DVM. The DVM ships with a small “rubber duck”

antenna attached to the left side.An external roof antenna is also

included to enable greater transmission range, if needed. Please note that

the rubber antenna must be removed in order to install the external roof

antenna onto the DVM. If using the external antenna, please mount it

forward of any light bar on the roof of the vehicle for a clear line-of-sight

to the RMT.

Important: When installing the external antenna, do NOT use a

wrench to tighten the cable to the mirror. This connection should only

be finger tight. Over tightening the connection can potentially cause

damage to the connector inside the DVM.

The RMT must be within three feet of the rubber or external

antenna during the synchronization process. Refer to the section

“Synching Wireless Microphone to the DVM” (page 5) for the procedure

on synchronizing the RMT to the DVM prior to recording videos.

7. Attach the GPS antenna to the rear of the DVM. This antenna can be

mounted on the dash or magnetically attached to the roof to receive GPS

signals. Signal reception can be verified by enabling the GPS display

text; please refer to Display Text Menu (page 21) for this option.

(End of initial setup steps)

All recordings are stored on the Compact Flash (CF) card. Before the

DVM-500 system can be operated, an activated CF card must be

installed in the DVM.

Inserting or Removing the Compact Flash Card

The DVM has a special access door that must be opened with the

included key before the CF card can be accessed.

Important: Do not insert or remove the CF card while the unit is

powered on. Briefly press the MENU button before removing the

card and look for any activity on the LCD screen. The CF card may

be safely removed from the DVM if no activity is notice on the LCD

screen.

NOTE: This procedure may require two hands and should not be

attempted while driving the vehicle.

How to unlock and open the access door:

1. Align the end of the key with the slots and stud of key hole. The

key hole is located on the bottom of the unit, next to the metal CF

card access door.

2. Insert the key into the key hole (key should push in approximately

1/8”). Do not rotate or turn the key, it simply pushes into the

keyhole.

3. While keeping the key inserted into the keyhole, use the black

knob to slide open the door until it stops (approximately 1/4”).

4. Remove the key from the key hole and then slide the door open

the rest of the way to access the CF card.

Note: The white label on the back side of the CF card should be visible when

inserting the CF card into the DVM. Please refer to the picture on the left.

Charging the RMT in a vehicle

Plug the DC auto adapter into the vehicle’s 12VDC receptacle (cigar

lighter socket). Insert the other end of the adapter into the left side of the

charging cradle, and then insert the RMT into the cradle. The RMT will

power down and begin flashing the amber light (center LED). Please

refer to the “LED Indicators” section (page 6) for more information.

Please note: In some vehicles, the 12VDC receptacle may be controlled

by the position of the ignition switch. In such cases, the RMT will only

charge when the ignition switch is in the “On” position. For optimal

performance, the DC auto adapter should be attached to a 12VDC,

constant-on socket, or hard-wired to a 12VDC battery junction. To hard-

wire the DC auto adapter, make note of which wire is positive (+) and

which is negative (-), and then clip off the cigar plug end.Add 1A 250V

in-line fuse to the positive lead (+), and then connect to the battery

junction point.
