3. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your Walfront Phone Call Recorder for the first time.

3.1 Inserting the Micro SD Card

1. Gently slide off the top cover of the recorder unit.
2. Insert a Micro SD card (maximum 32GB, not included) into the designated slot with the gold contacts facing down. Ensure it clicks into place.
3. Replace the top cover, ensuring it is securely closed.

This composite image illustrates two crucial setup steps: first, the proper insertion of a Micro SD card into the device's slot, and second, the action of sliding the power switch to the 'ON' position to activate the recorder.

3.2 Connecting to the Telephone Line

The recorder connects between your analogue telephone and the wall jack.

1. Disconnect the telephone cable from your analogue phone's base.
2. Connect one end of the provided RJ11 telephone cable to the Walfront Phone Call Recorder's RJ11 interface.
3. Connect the other end of the provided RJ11 telephone cable to the telephone base.
4. Connect your existing telephone cable (from the wall jack) to the remaining RJ11 interface on the recorder.

This diagram illustrates the connection of the telephone recorder. One RJ11 cable connects the recorder to the telephone base, and another cable connects the recorder to the main telephone line coming from the wall. The image emphasizes that the telephone itself is not included.

This diagram shows a typical setup where the phone recorder is connected to an analogue telephone and then to the telephone line, possibly through a router or modem. An arrow highlights the power switch on the recorder, indicating that moving it to 'ON' initiates call recording.

Important Note: This device is designed for analogue phone lines only. It is not compatible with digital phones or IP phones.

This image clearly indicates that the Walfront Phone Call Recorder is exclusively for use with analogue telephones. It visually crosses out 'Digital Phone' and 'IP Phone' to highlight incompatibility, while showing a traditional analogue phone as the supported type.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Powering On and Recording

1. Ensure the Micro SD card is correctly inserted and the device is connected to the telephone line as described in Section 3.
2. Connect the USB cable to the recorder's USB port and the other end to a USB power source (e.g., a USB charger, computer USB port). The device is powered by the telephone system's ASIC, but a USB connection is recommended for consistent power and charging.
3. Move the power switch on the side of the recorder to the "ON" position.
4. The recorder will automatically begin recording phone calls when a conversation is detected on the line.

The device supports loop recording. When the memory card is full, the oldest recording files will be overwritten by new recordings. This operates on a "first in, first out" basis.

4.2 Data Access and Management

Recorded files are saved in WAV audio format on the Micro SD card.

1. To access recordings, ensure the recorder is powered off (switch to "OFF" position).
2. Connect the recorder to a computer using the provided USB cable.
3. The recorder will be recognized as a U-disk (removable storage device) by your computer.
4. Navigate to the device's drive to find and copy the WAV audio files.
5. Alternatively, you can remove the Micro SD card and insert it into a card reader connected to your computer to access the files directly.

5. Maintenance

• Keep the device clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the unit, as this will void the warranty.
• Regularly back up important recordings from the Micro SD card to prevent data loss due to loop recording or card issues.
• If the device is connected to the telephone line continuously, it may require a weekly charge via a USB charger to maintain its internal battery for normal operation.
