Onboard Controls
Total Recall is simple to operate, and
features a built-in control and LCD display panel for convenient
configuration and operation.
5.1. Control Panel

Total Recall – Desktop Control Panel

Total Recall – Rack Control Panel
The color TFT LCD displays the
various screens, menus and dialogs. After five minutes of keypad
inactivity, the LCD backlight automatically switches off, to extend the
life of the backlight (the recorder continues to function normally).
Pressing any key illuminates the
LCD backlight.
5.1.1. Playback and
Navigation Keys
The playback and navigation keys
are used to control the playback of recorded calls, and to navigate the
screen menus.
[Menu] Key
The [Menu] key is used to
navigate between the three main menus, Logging, Search, and Options. When
[Menu] is pressed with the cursor at the top of one of the three main
menus, the cursor moves to the top of the next main menu. The system will
“beep” each time the [Menu] key is pressed.
When [Menu] is pressed and the
cursor is in the body of a main menu, the cursor will go straight to
either the OK or Cancel button saving keystrokes.
[Select] Key
Use the [Select] key to start an
operation associated with a highlighted button or item, and to confirm a
request.
[Up] and [Down] Scroll Keys
The [Up] and [Down] arrow keys
are used to navigate within a menu. With each [Up] or [Down] key press,
the cursor highlights a different button or item within the menu. As you
press the [Up] or [Down] arrow keys, the system will “beep”.
Use the [Down] key to highlight
items across the screen from left to right as well as down. Use the [Up]
arrow key to move in the reverse direction.
Call Playback Keys
During the playing of a call,
the “Control Keys” can be used to navigate through the call. The “Control
Keys” operate in the same way as the keys on a CD or tape player. They can
be used to Stop, Play, Fast Forward and Fast Rewind through a call.
Pressing the “Play” key during playback will cause the playback to Pause.
Pressing the “Play” key again will continue the call.
Pressing the “Stop” key whilst
not playing a call locks the User Interface (the padlock icon on the LCD
‘closes’) when in the Options, Logging and Search Menus.
This negates the normal 120-second timeout required for the User Interface
to lock.
5.1.2. Power and Hard
Drive
Activity LEDs
l
Green is the ‘Power On’ indicator.
l
Red indicates
hard drive activity.
If the LCD backlight has
switched off due to inactivity, the green LED flashes continuously every
two seconds. Pressing any key illuminates the LCD backlight and the green
LED stops flashing.
Your
Total Recall system will continue to record normally
while the LCD is turned off.
