Description and specications
Overlook
The MAG-2 digital recorder is designed for
recording high quality audio to the built-in ash
memory. Recorded les can be downloaded to a
PC for further processing. The recorder has small
dimensions, long recording time and sensitive
microphone with wide dynamic range. Solid metal
case protects from mechanical damage and
reduces effect of electromagnetic noise.

4
The MAG-2 can record from:
• Built-in microphone
• External microphone
• Microphone with ampli er
• Linear input
Voice Activation System (VAS) allows saving
signi cantly internal memory. The recorder also
has real time clock and calendar. USB interface
allows changing recorder settings and saving
recorded audio as .wav  les to a PC. The recorder
has control buttons and LED indication of operation
modes.

Design and operation
Recorder settings
Switch the recorder on by moving the switch to
position.
The recorder settings are made with the NOVO
PC SUIT MAG-2 software. The software must be
installed and the recorder must be connected to
USB port of your PC with the supplied cable. The
software allows:
• Saving recorded les to a PC
• Turning on and setting VAS
• Adjusting quality of recording
• Selecting source of recording: internal or
external microphone, linear input
• Synchronizing time and date of the recorder
and PC
Operation
Please note! Every time before use fully charge
the battery and synchronize time and date
between PC and the recorder (or check Automatic
synchronization mode).

To record audio using internal microphone, press
and hold REC/STOP switch button till the red LED
lights up for a short time and goes out. After that
recording starts. During recording the red LED
blinks with 5 sec. intervals. To stop recording press
and hold REC/STOP button till the green LED
lights up. After that, recording stops.
Recorded audio les can be deleted without
connecting the recorder to a PC. To do it, in
stand-by mode move and hold REC/STOP switch
in F2 position till the red LED starts blinking.
Then immediately move REC/STOP switch to F1
position.
The red LED is on continuously, recorded audio
is being deleted. When the process is over, the
red LED goes out and the recorder is in stand-by
mode.

8
To nd out current status of the recorder move the
REC/STOP switch to F2 position (don’t hold):
• The LED is on for several seconds – the
recorder is in stand-by mode (at that color of
the LED indicates battery charge level: green
– battery is charged more than 50%; red –
battery is charged less than 50%).
• The LED blinks shortly – the recorder is
recording (at that color of the LED indicates
battery charge level: green – battery is charged
more than 50%; red – battery is charged less
than 50%).
ATTENTION!
If during recording the recorder memory is
lled or battery is fully discharged, the recorder
automatically switches off.
Operation with external microphone
1. Using NOVO PC SUIT MAG-2 program, select
external microphone as a source of recording.
2. Connect external microphone to corresponding
jack on the recorder.
3. To start recording press and hold REC/STOP
switch button till the red LED lights up. When

9
it will go out, recording will start. Recording is
indicated by the red LED blinking with 5 sec.
intervals.
4. To stop recording press and hold REC/STOP
switch till the green LED lights up. When the
green LED lights up the recording stops.
Using telephone adapter
1. Using NOVO PC SUIT MAG-2 program, select
linear input as a source of recording. Set
required VAS threshold, time of recording start
(time of reaction on sound in ms) and time of
recording end (time of recording after sound
ends in s).
2. Using supplied telephone cable to connect the
adapter to a telephone line.
3. Second jack of the adapter is used for
connection to a telephone set. Connection is in
parallel, without taking into account the polarity.
4. Connect male plug of the adapter to the
recorder jack.
5. Recording start/stop procedure is the same as
described in section Operation.

Voice Activation System
Voice Activation System allows saving memory
and energy consumption. VAS can be set only
through NOVO PC SUIT MAG-2 program. When
the recording starts the recorder tracks signal
level from the microphone or linear input. When
the signal level is below specied, the recording
isn’t carried out. When the signal level is above
specied, the information records into ash-
memory. In case the signal level diminishes, the
record stops. VAS must be adjusted every time
before use taking into account specic conditions
of premises. To set VAS see section Using
telephone adapter.
Charging battery
Connect the recorder to USB port of a PC with
supplied USB cable. At that the LED starts blinking.
LED color indicates battery charge level (green –
battery is charged more than 50%; red – battery is
charged less than 50%). When the battery is fully
charged, the green LED is on continuously.
