• Voice Activated Recording Not Working: If the VOR feature is not functioning as expected, ensure it is enabled (if there are settings accessible via PC connection). Some users report needing to connect to a PC to configure such settings.
• Cannot Transfer Files to PC: Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the recorder and the computer. Try a different USB port or cable. Verify that your computer's operating system (Windows 2000 or above) recognizes the device as a removable disk.
• Device Not Turning On: Charge the device for at least 30 minutes. If it still doesn't turn on, the battery might be completely drained or faulty.

9. User Tips

• Maximize Voice Activation: For optimal use of voice-activated recording, ensure the device is placed in an area where ambient noise is minimal, allowing it to accurately detect speech.
• Organize Recordings: Utilize the automatic timestamp feature to keep track of your recording files. When transferring to a computer, create folders to further organize your audio.
• Playback Convenience: Always have a pair of Type C headphones handy for quick playback of your recordings directly from the device.
• Regular Data Backup: Periodically connect your recorder to a computer to back up important audio files, especially before the memory is full.
