February 16 Instructions for Personal Digital Talking Memo – LIV 091 349 0000 Getting to know your new recorder: This recorder retains 2 messages, each of which can be 10 seconds long. The recorder is approximately the size of a credit card, although it is much thicker in cross-section. The front of the recorder has a textured speaker grille in the lower right corner, and 2 small sliding switches at the top that are 6mm from the top edge and approximately 15mm in from each side. The battery compartment lid is a vertical panel on the back, measuring 52mm by 18mm. Hold the recorder so that the two raised function buttons on the front are at the top of the unit and the textured speaker grille is in the lower right corner. In the top, far right hand corner of the unit, approximately 8mm from both the top and side, is a small, red LED indicator light that is recessed and lights up when a message is recording or playing. Directly to the left of the recessed light, there is a two-way PLAY/RECORD slide switch, that when positioned to the far right, is used to record a message and when positioned to the far left is used to play a message. To the left of the play/record sliding switch there is a CHANNEL SELECTOR switch marked CH1/CH2 that switches between recording channels 1 and 2 while recording or in playback mode. Fifteen millimeters directly below the play and record slide switch, you will find a small hole which acts as the unit’s microphone. Twenty millimeters to the right of the microphone, on the right-hand edge of the recorder, is the record/playback button. It is 15mm high and flat on its outer edge; its left edge is semi-circular. You record or play back a message by pushing this button in towards the centre of the unit. This switch’s function depends on how the PLAY/REC button is positioned. The recorder’s speaker grille is situated in the lower, right corner when viewed from the front with the sliding function buttons at the top. Recording a message: To record a message, move the PLAY/RECORD slide switch to the right side. This switch is located towards the top right hand corner of the unit, 5mm to the left of the round, recessed LED light. Select Channel 1 by sliding to the left the selector switch marked CH1/CH2 switch, which is located 5mm to the left of the PLAY/REC switch. Press and hold down the record/playback button push button on the right edge of the unit and speak into the unit, holding it approximately three inches away from your mouth. You have 10 seconds of recording time. After finishing the recording, release the push button. To make another 10 second message without erasing the previous message on Channel 1, slide the CH1/CH2 selector switch to the right and follow the same recording process. The red LED indicator light located to the right of the PLAY/RECORD slide switch will illuminate while you are recording your message and will turn off when you are finished or when the recording time limit has been exceeded. Listening to your recorded message: To listen to your recorded message, move the PLAY/RECORD slide switch located at the right hand corner of the unit to the left. Press and hold down the record/playback push button located at the top, right edge of the unit. The recorded message will then play back. You can stop the playback at any time by releasing the push button. Erasing a message: To replace an existing message, select either Channel 1 or 2 and move to the right the PLAY/RECORD slide switch located at the top right hand corner of the unit. Press the record/playback button on the side once. To create a new message have the PLAY/RECORD slide switch in the right position and follow the “Recording message” section noted above. Inserting/Replacing Batteries: The unit is fitted with 2 AG13 batteries. The recorder’s sound level will drop if the batteries need replacement. Position the digital recording unit such that the raised function buttons are facing you and at the top of the unit. Turn the unit over so that the smooth rear side of the unit is facing you. The rectangular battery compartment lid is located down the right edge of the unit, equidistant from the top and bottom edges. It has a tactile area marked “OPEN” and a corresponding triangle in the centre of the lid to indicate the direction of opening. Slide the cover to the right to open the battery compartment; you may need to start the lid moving with your thumbnail. Keep the lid safely nearby. One of the batteries is at the top of the compartment and the other is at the bottom end. Remove the existing AG13-type batteries and insert 2 new batteries into their sockets, ensuring that the positive or flat ends of the batteries are facing upwards when they are inserted. After inserting the new batteries, replace the back cover by sliding the tab on its leading edge back into the battery compartment until the lid clicks into place. Any Further Problems?
