Microphone Ports: The tiny holes on top are the microphones. Do not poke them. Use a soft toothbrush to gently remove pocket lint.
Battery Longevity: Do not leave the recorder on a charger overnight. Once the battery icon shows full (3 bars), unplug it.
File Management: Once you transfer files to your PC, delete them from the recorder. Keeping fewer than 100 files in a folder speeds up the boot time.
Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website. Place the update.bin file onto the root of your SD card. Turn off the recorder. Hold Volume + and Power simultaneously for 8 seconds to start the update.
Mode 2: Long-Play (MP3)
Use when: Recording meetings, conferences, or dictation lasting over 4 hours.
Instruction: Select MP3 at 32 kbps.
Top Benefit: You can record 100+ hours on a 16GB card.
