5.1 Charging the Device

Before first use, fully charge the recorder. Connect the device to a computer's USB port or a USB wall adapter using the provided USB cable. The device has a 3800mAh battery, offering approximately 300 hours of continuous recording or 365 days of standby time on a full charge.

5.2 Setting Date and Time (Timestamp)

It is crucial to update the system date and time on your computer before using the recorder for the first time. This ensures that all your recordings are timestamped correctly. Refer to the instructions provided in the device's internal memory when connected to a computer for specific steps on how to synchronize the time.

5.3 Password Protection

The device supports password locking for your recordings. This feature can be set up and managed when the recorder is connected to a computer. Consult the files on the device's internal storage for detailed instructions on enabling and configuring password protection.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Basic Recording

1. To start recording, slide the Power/Record switch to the "ON" position. The device will typically indicate recording status (e.g., a small LED light).
2. To stop recording and save the file, slide the Power/Record switch to the "OFF" position. The recording will be saved automatically to the device's internal 16GB memory.

The 16GB memory can store up to 1160 hours of recording files at 32kbps.

6.2 Voice Activated Recording (VOR)

The recorder features a voice-activated recording function. When enabled, the device will automatically begin recording when it detects sound above a certain threshold and pause when silence is detected. This conserves memory and battery life. Specific instructions for enabling and adjusting VOR sensitivity can be found in the device's internal files when connected to a computer.

6.3 Connecting to a Computer and Playback

1. Connect the recorder to your computer using the supplied USB cable. The device will appear as a removable storage drive.

3. To play back recordings, use a media player on your computer that supports WAV format files. If you encounter issues, ensure your player is updated or try a different media player.
4. You can transfer, delete, or manage your recording files like any other files on a USB drive.

Note for Mac Users: Some utility tools or software files provided on the device's internal memory may be in EXE format, which is not compatible with Mac operating systems. These tools are generally for advanced settings or timestamp synchronization. Basic recording and file transfer functions are typically compatible.
