SAVE button
If you press the SAVE button, the current memory area in the backup HDD stops recording and

incident occurs, press the button again. The memory in the backup HDD is divided into four areas.
When you press the SAVE button, the number of recording area in the HDD is reduced by one.

If you pressed the SAVE button during an incident, consult a FURUNO dealer to restore the HDD
after the authorities complete an investigation of the incident.
