Operating Instructions
Basic Recording
- Start Recording: Slide the power switch to the "ON" position (often marked "REC"). The indicator light will flash briefly and then turn off, indicating that recording has started.
- Stop and Save Recording: Slide the power switch to the "OFF" position (often marked "SAVE"). The recording will be automatically saved as a WAV file.
Voice Activated Recording (VOR)
The voice activation feature allows the recorder to start recording only when sound is detected, and pause when there is silence, optimizing storage space and battery life.
- Activate VOR: Refer to the detailed instructions in the included paper manual for specific steps to enable voice activation mode. This usually involves connecting to a computer and modifying a setting file.
- Using VOR: Once activated, simply turn the recorder ON. It will automatically begin recording when sound is present and pause during silence.
Playback
- Via Headphones: Connect the provided wired headphones to the recorder's 3.5mm jack. Use the wired remote control to navigate and play recordings.
- Via Computer: Connect the recorder to your computer. Open the removable disk drive and locate your recorded files (typically in WAV format). Play them using your computer's media player.
- Via Android Phone: Connect the recorder to a compatible Android phone using the appropriate USB-C adapter. Access files through a file manager app and play them. (Note: Not compatible with iPhone for direct playback.)
