Every new dictation recording is saved under a new, successive number. However, take note: The numbering

of saved dictations does not subsequently change when you delete individual dictations.

Ú^examPle:

‹

You start a new dictation recording. This is automatically assigned the number »DICT001«. At a later date you

delete dictation recording »DICT001«. When you start a new dictation recording, this one is automatically as-

signed the next following number, »DICT002«, although the dictation with the prior number, »DICT001«, has

been deleted.

You can however reset the dictate counter back to null. After the resetting of the counter, the subsequent dic-

tations will again be automatically successively numbered, beginning at »DICT001«. The resetting of the in-

ternal counter for dictations is explained in chapter 8.13 » Resetting the internal dictation counter«.

recording is not interrupted. The newly initiated dictation recording receives the same number as the original,

but expanded by a letter. Example After a period of three hours of the dictation recording »DICT001«, the new

dictation recording »DICT001A« is automatically initiated. In the display is indicated:

8.3 Provide dictation recordings with references

Dictation recordings that you save onto the voice recorder can be provided with

a reference. References can be serial numbers or freely selectable combinations of

numbers, letters and characters. References can be useful to make dictations easier …

to allocate to speciﬁc subject areas

to diﬀerentiate between themselves.

References do not appear in the display of the voice recorder; they are indicated

in the column »No./Ref« of the soﬅware »Convert« (see Fig. 3). Information regard-

ing the installation and utilisation of the soﬅware »Convert« is to be found in the

chapters …

10.1 »Installing the soﬅware »Convert« onto a PC«

10.2 »Using the soﬅware »Convert«

To allocate references to dictations, a choice of three possibilties is available:

NR on: Enter in ones own reference (e.g. »Notice«). e reference entered in

will be used for all following dictation recordings.

NR oﬀ: e voice recorder allocates no reference numbers for new dictation

recordings.

NR auto: Automatic references; with this, the voice recorder allocates, addi-

tional to the entered reference (e.g. »Notice«), a consecutive reference number

(1, 2, 3...) for every new dictation recording, see Fig. 3.

8.4 Using memory cards instead of the device internal storage system

e internal memory of the voice recorder has a capacity of 512 MB available for

use. Should there be a requirement for a larger memory capacity you can utilise

memory cards of the types SD and MMC in the voice recorder. However, take note:

Only memory cards with a maximum capacity of 2 GB can be used.

noTICe:

]

‹

›

Dictation recordings made with memory cards are saved exclusively to these. When using memory cards

there is no access to the internal memory of the voice recorder.

Data cannot be transferred between the internal memory and the memory card - or the other way round.

Should you wish to use an SD/MMC memory card:

Slide the memory card into the memory card slot , as depicted on the rear of

the voice recorder, until it engages. When sliding in the memory card use only

light pressure.

noTICe:

]

‹

›

Should the memory card not, or not totally, allow itself to be slid into the memory card slot: Under no circumstances

apply force! If you do, the card and/or the voice recorder could be irreparably damaged.

Instead, remove the memory card. Check to see if …

it is an SD/MMC memory card. Memory cards of other types cannot be used.

you have possibly not inserted the memory card as per the illustration on the rear of the voice recorder.

If you insert the memory card with the voice recorder switched on, the SilverCrest

logo appears brieﬂy in the display . Subsequently, »EXT« is brieﬂy indicated;

then the start screen appears again. e indicated memory capacity for dictation

recordings now refers to the memory card instead of the internal memory.

Aﬅer insertion in the voice recorder the memory card must ﬁrst of all be formatted.

is also applies to pre-formatted memory cards.

During formatting, ALL data that may be on the memory card will be deleted. If it contains data that you wish

to retain, copy this data to another memory medium before commencing the formatting.

8.11 Selecting the recording mode

is voice recorder can record dictations with three varying sampling rates. e

higher the sampling rate, the better the quality of the dictation recording; however,

at the same time, the requirement for memory space for dictation recording rises

accordingly.

Selection can be made from three sampling rates for dictations recordings:

»HP« – highest quality level, dictations require a lot of memory space

»SP« – standard quality level; optimal compromise between the demands on

quality and memory space

»LP« – lowest quality level; dictations require very little memory space; recom-

mended for very long dictations

From the factory, »SP« is set as the sampling rate. To change the setting of the sam-

pling rate:

^{Switch the voice recorder on by pressing the button »ON/OFF«}a^.

Should this happen during a working dictation recording, cease it immediately. Otherwise, the dictation

recording could be wholly or partly lost.

Change standard (non-rechargeable) batteries for new ones of the type AA/LR06/

Mignon 1.5 V. Exchange drained cells for charged ones of the type AA/Mignon 1.2 V.

Cells can also be charged in the battery compartment of the voice recorder; further

information available in chapter 9.2 » Recharging cells in the battery compartment

of the voice recorder.«

Alternatively, you can also adapt the voice recorder for mains power operation.

9.2 Recharging cells in the battery compartment of the voice recorder

Cells can be recharged in the battery compartment of the voice recorder when they

are discharged. For this, the voice recorder must …

be connected to a mains power socket via a suitable power adaptor

(not supplied), or

be connected to a PC via the supplied USB cable.

Danger!

†

‹

›

Never attempt to recharge standard batteries in the battery compartment of the voice recorder!

Essentially, only cells can be recharged. Otherwise, there is a risk of explosions or ﬁre!

Additionally, the voice recorder could become irreparably damaged.

When operating the voice recorder on mains power use only a suitable and undamaged power adapter;

Output voltage: 5 V DC, Output current: 500 mA, DC-Plug (Barrel plug) 1,0/3,0 mm (Inner/Outer diameter),

Polarity DC-Plug:

. Suitable power adapters are available in electronic and audio/video specialist

shops. Should the voice recorder be used with an unsuitable or damaged power adapter, there is the risk of

you receiving an electric shock! Additionally, the voice recorder could be irreparably damaged!
