3. Opstelling

3.1. Aanvanklike betaling

Before first use, fully charge the device. Connect the recorder to a USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, wall adapter) using the provided USB cable. The indicator light will show charging status.

3.2. Time Synchronization and Advanced Settings (RECSET.txt)

The device's time and advanced recording parameters can be configured by modifying the RECSET.txt file located on the recorder when connected to a computer. Ensure the recorder is switched to AF before connecting to a computer.

Om toegang te verkry en instellings te verander:

  1. Switch the recorder to the AF posisie.
  2. Connect the recorder to your computer using the USB cable. It will appear as a removable disk (e.g., "USB DISK").
  3. Open the "USB DISK" drive and locate the RECSET.txt file.
  4. Maak oop RECSET.txt with a plain text editor (e.g., Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on Mac).
  5. Modify the desired parameters as described below.
  6. Stoor die RECSET.txt file and safely eject the recorder from your computer.

Parameters in RECSET.txt:

  • Time:YYYYMMDDHHMMSS
    This sets the device's internal clock. Modify the numbers to match your current date and time. For example, Time:20231027143000 for October 27, 2023, 2:30 PM.
  • Gain:X (Adjust recording sensitivity 0-7, Advice:5)
    Adjusts microphone sensitivity. A higher number (up to 7) increases sensitivity, capturing quieter sounds but potentially more background noise. A lower number reduces sensitivity. A setting of 5 is recommended for general use to balance sound capture and ambient noise reduction.
  • Vor:X (0 means voice activated mode is off, 1-10 means is on, Advice:0)
    Controls Voice Activated Recording (VOR). 0 disables VOR. Numbers 1-10 enable VOR, with lower numbers requiring less sound to activate recording. For example, 1 is very sensitive, 10 is less sensitive. A setting of 1 or 2 is recommended if VOR is desired.
  • Bit:X (0-32kbps, 1-64kbps, 2-128kbps, 3-192kbps, 4-384kbps, Advice:3)
    Sets the recording bitrate (audio quality). Higher bitrates result in clearer sound but larger file sizes and shorter battery life. Lower bitrates save space and battery but reduce audio quality. 3 (192kbps) is generally recommended for good balance.
  • PART:X (Recording file division, Adjustment 0-240 minutes, 0 meaning 8 hours, Advice:0)
    Divides recordings into segments. 0 means recordings are saved in 8-hour segments. A number from 1-240 sets the segment duration in minutes. For example, PART:60 saves recordings in 60-minute segments. No change is recommended for continuous recording.

3.3. Synchronizing Time (Windows Only)

For Windows users, a dedicated tool is provided to synchronize the recorder's time with your computer's time automatically.

  1. Ensure the recorder is switched to AF and connected to your computer.
  2. Open the "USB DISK" drive and navigate to the Settime gids.
  3. Begin die SetDigitRecorderTm.exe aansoek.
  4. Click the "Settime" button in the application to synchronize the time.

5. Gevorderde kenmerke

Advanced settings such as Voice Activated Recording (VOR) sensitivity, recording quality (bitrate), and segment recording duration can be adjusted via the RECSET.txt file soos beskryf in die Opstelling section. Remember to save changes to RECSET.txt and safely eject the device after modification.

5.1. Voice Activated Recording (VOR)

When VOR is enabled (Vor:1-10 in RECSET.txt), the recorder will automatically start recording when it detects sound above a certain decibel level and pause when there is no sound. This feature helps conserve battery life and storage space by eliminating silent periods in your recordings.

5.2. Recording Quality (Bitrate)

Aanpassing van die Bit parameter in RECSET.txt allows you to choose between different audio quality levels. A higher bitrate (e.g., 384kbps) provides superior sound clarity but consumes more storage and battery. A lower bitrate (e.g., 32kbps) is suitable for longer recordings where absolute fidelity is not critical.

5.3. Segment Recording

Die PART parameter in RECSET.txt allows you to divide long recordings into smaller, more manageable files. This can be useful for organizing recordings or for platforms that have file size limits. Setting PART:0 will save recordings in 8-hour segments, while setting a value like PART:60 will create new files every 60 minutes.
