Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the QZT Mini Sound Recorder, Model Q61. This compact and professional digital audio recording device is designed for ease of use and high-quality sound capture. It features voice-activated recording, MP3 playback, and simple file management, making it ideal for various applications such as lectures, meetings, interviews, and classes.
Setup
1. Charging the Device
Before first use, fully charge the device. The charging time is approximately 1 hour.
- Ensure the device is completely turned OFF before connecting it for charging.
- WARNING: Do NOT charge the device while it is ON, as this may damage the motherboard.
2. Initial Connection to Computer (Time Synchronization)
To ensure accurate time stamps on your recordings, connect the recorder to your computer via the USB cable to synchronize the time. This also allows for easy file management.
Time Stamp Function: Recording files are automatically named by Year/Day/Hour/Minute/Second (YY/DD/HH/MM/SS) for easy organization and search.
Operating Instructions
1. Device Overview
2. Recording Modes
The device offers two recording modes, easily switched with a single button:
- Continuous Recording Mode: Slide the power switch/VOR button to the 'ON' position (usually indicated by a power symbol or 'U'). The device will begin recording continuously.
- Voice-Activated Recording Mode (VOR): To reduce silent recording time and conserve memory, slide the power switch/VOR button to the 'V' position. The recorder will only activate and record when sound levels reach approximately 45 decibels (dbs).
- Shut Down: Slide the power switch/VOR button to the 'OFF' position (usually indicated by a power symbol with a line through it).
3. Playing Recordings
Recordings can be played back either on a computer or directly on the recorder using headphones.
- Playing on Computer:
- Connect the device to your computer using the USB cable.
- Open the "VOICE" disk that appears on your computer.
- You will see all recorded files. Click on the desired recording file to play it.
- Note: It is recommended to use your computer's default multimedia player for playback.
- Playing on Recorder Device (with Headphones):
- Plug the extension adapter cable and headphones into the device's USB port.
- Switch the button on the side of the device (often the same switch used for recording modes, or a dedicated play/pause button if present) to the playback position.
- Short press the Play/Pause button to switch between recording playback and music playback.
4. Managing Recording Files
To manage your recording files (move, delete, copy):
- Ensure the device is turned OFF before connecting it to your computer.
- Connect the device to your computer using the USB cable.
- Access the "VOICE" disk and manage files as you would with any external storage device.
5. Setting Recording Parameters
Recording parameters can be set using two methods:
- The "Recording Parameter" tool (software, likely found on the device's internal storage when connected to a computer).
- The "FACTORY" document (a configuration file, also likely on the device's internal storage).
These two methods are synchronized, meaning changes made in one will reflect in the other.

- Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Store the device in a cool, dry place when not in use.

User Tips
- Optimal Placement: For the best recording quality, place the recorder in an open area, free from obstructions, and as close to the sound source as possible.
- Memory Management: Regularly transfer and back up your important recordings to a computer. This frees up the device's internal memory for new recordings and prevents data loss.
- Battery Care: To maximize the lifespan and performance of the battery, ensure the device is fully charged before each important use and avoid completely draining the battery frequently.
- Voice Activation Sensitivity: If using voice-activated recording, be aware that the 45dbs threshold means very quiet sounds might not trigger recording. Adjust placement or switch to continuous recording for faint audio.
