i) Channels (Standard) – Deselect all <strong>for</strong> both Compact<br />

Flash and Serial logging.<br />

v) Click the Close Set-Up icon.<br />

c) Close VBOX Tools and turn off the VBOX (by cutting power).<br />

6) Switch off internal RAM logging.<br />

NOTE: When the internal memory of the VBOX is filled, the VBOX<br />

will begin to beep. In order to avoid distraction to the driver, it is<br />

important that the VBOX is prevented from logging to the RAM.<br />

This step provides a backup to step 5)b)ii) by ensuring that the<br />

VBOX will not log data to the internal memory.<br />

a) Locate Socket 4 on the VBOX.<br />

b) Connect Pin 1 to Pin 2 using a short wire with the insulation<br />

stripped off the ends.<br />

c) Place a piece of electrical tape over Socket 4, securing the wire<br />

in place.<br />

NOTE: Do not cover Socket 3 with electrical tape; Socket 3<br />

must be accessible to make changes in the VBOX setup.<br />

7) Cover the Compact Flash Card slot with a strip of electrical tape to<br />

keep out dust.<br />

NOTE: Do not cover the LEDs; these LEDs can be used to<br />

determine the status of the VBOX.<br />
