BEFORE FIRST USE - TIME STAMP
You will need to save and UNZIP the time le. If you are unable to UNZIP then we recommend
you download the two les from TECH SUPPORT. e reason we give both options is that some
computers wont download the les directly and hence we zip them to make it easier to download
and use them. ese les are needed to set the time and date stamp on your Sherlock voice
recorder.
1. Make sure your recorder is in OFF position then PLUG it into your USB port on your
computer. Please connect DIRECTLY to your computers USB port. (not via a hub)
