Memory Cards

The VBOX II can accept Type-I compact flash memory cards. The memory cards must be formatted using FAT or FAT16 but not FAT32. This option is

normally selectable when formatting the memory card in a card reader connected to a PC.

When logging data to compact flash the blue CF LED will flash or be constantly illuminated. It is important not to remove the flash card while the blue LED is

illuminated. If the card is removed while the VBOX is writing data to it, there is a risk that the data file may be corrupted resulting in loss of data. If ‘Log only

when moving’ is the logging mode selected then wait a short time after the vehicle has stopped for the Blue CF LED to go out. If ‘Log only when moving’ is

not selected i.e. the VBOX is continuously logging then press the Start/stop logging switch if connected or enter VBOX setup in the VBOX software to stop the

VBOX logging data to the compact flash card.

NOTE If you cannot do either of the above then just remove the card. If however the file is reported as corrupt by the VBOX software then load the file into

Notepad and go to the end of the file. It is usual in this case that the last entry is corrupt, so delete it and re-save the file.

GPS Antenna

The GPS Antenna supplied with the VBOX II is a 5v active antenna. For the best possible signal

quality, it is important to maintain a clean connection between the antenna and the VBOX. Before

fixing the antenna to the VBOX, ensure that there are no dust particles in either connector.

Replacement antennas are available by contacting your VBOX distributor.

The antenna is a magnetic mounting type for quick and simple mounting to the vehicle roof. For

optimum GPS signal reception, make sure that the antenna is fitted to the highest point of the vehicle

away from any obstructions that may block satellite reception. The GPS antenna works best with a

metal ground plane underneath (eg. Vehicle roof).

Please also note that when using any GPS equipment, a clear sky view is important. Objects in the

surrounding area such and tall buildings or trees can block the GPS signal causing a reduction or loss

in the number of satellites being tracked.
