1. VOR on/off: Voice activated recording. In VOR mode, the recorder only records voices loud enough to activate
recording, and will omit silence to save storage space. You can adjust the threshold via VOR Level. The higher the
value, the more sensitive the microphones. That means it will picks up lower voice. Please note, you still need to
turn on the recorder, push up the REC/SAVE button to initiate recording, and push it down to save the recording.
2. Rec monitor: To monitor the quality of the recording. When Rec Monitor is Open, you can hear what the recorder
picks up via headphones during recording. It tells you exactly how the recording is, so you can know if there is too
much noise, if the sound is too low for the recorder, thus to further set the Record denoise or move the recorder
closer to sound source.
3. Record denoise: The value represents the noise level. The higher the value is, the more noise there are. For
example, when you set the Record denoise at its highest value, the recorder will take down every note it hears.
There also might be some hissing background noise. When you set the value really low, the recorder will omit some
high-pitch sound and takes down more mellow and deep voice.
4. VOR Level: It works together with VOR on/off, only functions when VOR is on. It's the threshold of VOR mode.
5. Record subsection: Store a long recording as smaller files automatically. Say you are going to record a lecture of
3 hours long. If you set the Record subsection as 30M, the recorder will save the recording as a separate file every
30 minutes. So you get 6 recordings of 30 minutes long instead of one recording of 3 hours long.
6. Timing Recording: Set up a specific time for the recorder to start recording automatically.
Basic points in setting up the recorder:
1. All setting options are included in the Menu list.
2. When the recorder is not playing any file, hold down the Menu button for about 3 seconds to bring up the
Menu list for system setting and record setting. If you want to set up loop type, hold down the Menu button
when the recorder is playing a file to bring up the Menu list for Play Setting.
3. Press Backward/Forward button to highlight the item you need, press Play button to enter the setting of that
item.
4. If there needs a numerical value, for example in setting up time and date, click the Volume Button to change
the value.
5. Once you’ve set a specific value for a menu item, please always remember to click the Play button to have the
recorder save the settings. There won’t be always a prompt message to remind you the settings are done, but
as soon as you press down the Play button, the settings are recorded.

start recording in VOR mode. The higher the value, the more sensitive the mics. That is to say it will start
recording at lower sound.

Trouble Shooting
1. The recorder won’t charge or hold a charge.
1) Please check if the power button is in ON position while charging. The recorder only charges when the power
button is in ON position.
2) It still doesn’t charge when power button in on position, try a different cable and charge it plugging into a
computer in case of faulty cable.
3) If either works, contact us at [e-mail] with your Amazon order number.
2. The recorder won’t upload to the computer.
Please try a different cable and a different computer in case there is an issue with the cable or the port in the
computer. For quality issue with the cable or the recorder itself, please contact us at [e-mail]
with your Amazon order number.

3. My computer can’t play the recordings.
The recorder can only record in WAV format. All Windows should be able to play WAV files. If not, please install a
program which can play WAV files. If you use MAC, most MAC can’t play WAV files, please convert them to MP3 files
via iTune, or install a program which can play WAV files.
4. I can’t find my recordings, the recorder displays “No File” or “Disk ERR”.
1) Back up all your recordings and files on your computer.
2) Plug it into a PC with Windows operating system (NO MAC PLEASE), it will show up on the PC as a USB flash driver
3) Find the disk in My Computer, usually in the name of disk U, parallel to disk C.
4) Right click the disk, select Format to format the disk.
5) Move the recordings back to RECORD folder and musical files to memory, it should work then.
5. When try to play a specific file, it prompts “Format Err”.
This is usually caused by not saving the recording properly, for example, the recorder is shut down accidentally
during recording before you push down the REC button to save the recording. The recording is not saved in this case,
there is no way to recover it. You can only delete the file.
6. There is static noise or distortion sporadic in new recordings.
Back up all your recordings and files on your computer. Then format the recorder on Windows (NO MAC PLEASE).
Please refer to No.4 for steps to format it.

Please make sure the files you uploaded is in MP3 format or WAV format, and don’t create any folder for them, just
lay them out in the memory.
9. The recorder can only pick up loud sounds nearby.
1) Set Record Denoise (Listed under Record Setting) at a higher value.
2) If it’s in Voice Activated Recording mode, set VOR Level (Listed under Record Setting) at a higher value.
3) Make sure the microphones are not covered.
10. There is hissing noise in recordings.
1) Set Record Denoise (Listed under Record Setting) at a lower value. Please note it may omit some subtle sound.
