Setup

1. Charging the Device

Before first use, fully charge the voice recorder pen. Connect the included USB cable to the pen's USB port and then to a computer or a standard USB wall adapter. The indicator light will show charging status and turn off or change color when fully charged. A full charge takes approximately 1 hour and provides up to 20 hours of continuous recording.

2. Inserting a MicroSD Card (Optional)

The device supports a microSD card for expanded storage. While the internal memory is sufficient for basic use, a microSD card (up to 32GB, not included) can significantly increase recording capacity. Locate the TF card slot (microSD slot) on the pen and gently insert the card until it clicks into place.
