Recorder’s Appearance for Edic-Mini-Led-S51
• The Recorder has 3 control buttons:
- the K1 button to turn on/off LED
time display;
• Time is indicated with the help of two LEDs;
• Position of the red LED is hours;
• Position of the green LED is minutes;
• The accuracy of the time is + 5 minutes;
- the “Rec” button to start/stop recording;
- the “Play” button to start/stop playback.
The indication of operation is performed by one
green LED and one yellow LED. There is a micro-
USB connector to connect the Recorder to the PC
and headphones for playback.
Via USB-SPI adapter (included into the delivery
set) the Recorder is connected to the USB port of
the PC.
Software
The software located on the supplied CD operating
under Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows
7 operating systems enables the user to save
recorded messages as sound les in wav format,
as well as to program Recorder’s parameters,
apply it as a ash drive to store and transmit les.

6
The capacity of the les uploaded depends on
marking: 300h – up to 2 Gb, 1200h - up to 8 Gb.
The Recorder is equipped with VAS (Voice
Activation System) to compress pauses efciently
in messages therefore enhancing real record
duration. When applying this system the pauses
save memory, while time intervals are preserved.
When uploading records onto the PC the duration
of pauses can be restored (in the form of silence)
or omitted depending on the settings specied.
The Recorder enables it to perform recording by
timer: either daily (with record start and end time
specied) or once (date-and-start time and date-
and-end time are specied).
To protect the Recorder’s information there is the
option to set password forbidding access to the
Recorder’s contents and settings without entering
the password. Each record performed by the
Recorder has a mark of time and date of start time
supplied with “digital signature” to identify the model
of the Recorder to have performed the recording
and the attempts to modify it. The software of the
Recorder provides multilingual support.

Operating the Recorder
Getting Started
Before starting make sure the rechargeable
battery is charged. When necessary charge the
rechargeable battery by connecting HiSpeed USB-
SPI adapter to the USB port of the PC, and then to
the Recorder. Full charging takes 2,5 hours. While
charging yellow LED is in the 12 o’clock position
ashing with the interval of 1 second.
Clock Indication
Time is indicated with the help of two LEDs.
Position of the red LED is hours.
Position of the green LED is minutes.
The accuracy of the time is + 5 minutes
To start Clock mode press the K1 button – two
LEDs (red and green) start ashing. After several
seconds the LEDs go off.
To start/stop constant Clock mode keep “Rec” and
“Play” buttons pressed in Standby Mode for more
than 4 seconds while time indication is active.

10
If constant Clock mode is on the clock will be

• rechargeable battery is discharged up to 50%;
• constant Clock mode is off;
• the Recorder is charging;
• the Recorder quits Standby Mode.
Recording
The Recorder is in Standby Mode. Press the Rec
button twice. After a short ash of the blue-and-
yellow LED (the 12 o’clock position) recording
starts. Green LED will be ashing with the interval
of 3 seconds indicating free memory capacity (1
to 12 scale). The closer LED is to 12 o’clock the
bigger free memory size and vice versa. Red
LED will be ashing with the interval of 3 seconds
indicating battery charge level (1 to 12 scale). The
closer LED to the 12 o’clock position the more full
the rechargeable battery and vice versa. Recording
continues until the Recorder switches to Standby
Mode by double pressing on the Rec button. To
pause press the Rec button – recording will stop.
To resume press the Rec button – recording will
continue.
Attention!
If while recording the Recorder’s memory is full

In Standby Mode press the Rec and Play buttons
simultaneously until yellow-and-blue LED
(the 12 o’clock position) is on. Then it goes off.
Green LED indicates free memory capacity: the
closer LED is to 12 o’clock the bigger free memory
size (1 to 12 scale). If the green LED is in one
o’clock position, there is minimum free memory.

13
Red LED indicates battery charge level: the closer
LED to the 12 o’clock position the more full the
rechargeable battery (1 to 12 scale). If the red LED
is in the one o’clock position, the rechargeable
battery needs immediate charging.
Prole Selection
In Standby Mode press the Rec and Play buttons
simultaneously until the yellow-and-blue LED (the
12 o’clock position) is on. Then it goes off. Green

Record Types
Voice Activation System
Voice Activation System (VAS) can signicantly (up
to 100 times) reduce both memory consumption
and energy consumption from the power source.
The principle of VAS is as follows: after the user
starts recording, the Recorder starts tracing signal
from the microphone.
If the signal is less than the one specied in settings
(VAS level), it is not the sound from a microphone
that is stored in memory, but only the time value
during which the threshold is not exceeded (the
duration of silence).
When signal level exceeds the preset threshold
recording of sound into memory starts. When the
signal from the microphone is less than the preset
threshold, after some time (which is set at VAS
time setting) the Recorder stops recording sound
into memory and only saves silence duration. That
continues until recording stops.
Indication while standby recording from VAS: LED
is not on.
When uploading record onto the PC, you can
specify the operations with pauses (silence):

15
store them in the le uploaded or not. If you save
pauses, the duration of the resulting record will
correspond to the time during which the recording
was performed, and the moments when the signal
was below threshold will be played back silent. The
duration of silence corresponds to the time when
the signal was below the congured threshold.
If the pauses are not saved, then the resulting
record will consist of written parts (when the signal
exceeds the threshold) without counting pauses.
These parts will be played one after another
without interruption.
You can copy and listen to some voice parts in the
records using VAS.
Recording by Timer
Recording can start automatically, without user’s
control. This is possible when using the built-in
timers. The Recorder has two timers: daily, once.
When using timers forced starting the Recorder
is not necessary.
When using Daily Timer the Recorder records
every day starting and ending at times specied
during setup. For example, the recording starts at
12:50 and ends at 13:20.

16
If you use Once Timer, only one record will be
performed, which will start and end at the specied
date and record’s start and end time. For example,
December 31, 2011 at 23:50 recording starts, and
January 3, 2012 at 00:10 ends.
Recording will be carried out as long as the
Recorder has free memory and its battery charge
is enough to perform the operation.
Recording by timer can be stopped by pressing
Rec twice.
Circular Recording
The Recorder has the option of circular recording.
This method enables it not to stop recording when
the Recorder runs out of memory. After there is no
more free memory the Recorder begins to record
new data over old ones. Thus, the memory will
always contain the most recent records that are no
longer written off at the time of writing.
The user can devote to circular recording the
whole or only a part of the Recorder’s memory.
The volume of the memory specied determines
the duration of the resulting circular record.

17
Recorder Setup
Prole Selection
Prole Selection is available through the
RecManager software, but one of eight preset
proles is selected directly on the Recorder.
Prole record consists of the following
characteristics:
Coder type – type of compression
• No compress;
• uLaw;
• ADPCM 2bit;
• ADPCM 4bit.
Frequency – sampling rate
You can choose one of these values:
• No compress – 4, 8, 13.3, 20, 40 kHz;
• ADPCM – 4 and 8 kHz;
• u-Law – 4; 8; 13,3; 20 kHz.
Cycle – circular type of record.
When choosing circular recording, you can set
the buffer size in percentage of the Recorder’s
total memory.
Timer
You can select the type of timer (Daily, Once)

18
VAS - Voice Activation System
When turning VAS on you can set threshold
above which the recording starts from 0 to -60
dB.
And the time during which (after the recording
level is below the threshold of record) recording
continues - from 0 to 255 seconds
Gain - amplication
from -1 to 40 dB with steps of 0,5 dB
AGC - Automatic Gain Control
When you select the AGC four parameters
characterizing the work of AGC can be set
• ft attact (fast attack speed AGC) -
• ft release (Rapid release AGC) -
• sl attact (slow attack speed AGC) -
• sl release (slow release rate of AGC) -
For all of the four options the following values
to be set are available: 2.44, 4.88, 9.77, 19.53,
39.1, 78.13, 156.25, 312.5, 625; 1250, 2500;
5000; 10000 20000; 40 000, 80 000 dB / sec.
Connecting to the PC
When connecting to the PC carefully observe the
consistency: rst connect USB-SPI to USB port,
and then connect the adapter to the Recorder. The
Recorder switches automatically to charging mode.
