T

he Digital Voice Recorder might

not be the ultimate personal
dictaphone and portable recorder,
but we got as close as we could!

Its built-in omnidirectional
microphone is very sensitive to all
of the sounds in its vicinity. Just
press and hold the REC/STOP
button for a moment, and the
Recorder will begin storing
whatever the microphone picks
up in its internal flash memory
until you press REC/STOP again.
This single audio clip constitutes
one numbered message. The
Recorder’s memory is divided into
four files that can each hold as
many as 99 messages, giving you
a total capacity of 396 messages.

The Recorder has two
recording modes. In Slow Play
(SP), the Recorder records in
higher quality and can store
messages with a cumulative
running time up to 4 hours and
18 minutes before running out of
space. In Long Play (LP), the
Recorder can hold more than a
full workday of continuous

Up to nine hours of sophisticated

sound recording and playback,

literally at your fingertips.

messages—up to 9 hours and
22 minutes of running time!

Two alkaline AAA batteries
(included) power the Recorder for
as much as 10 hours of recording,
8 hours of message playback
through the included earphone, or

6.5 hours of playback through the
Recorder’s 23-mm speaker.

To help keep your batteries
alive, the Recorder has a HOLD
switch that you can turn on to
prevent the Recorder from
operating when you don’t want it
to (when it’s bumping around in a
pocket or briefcase, for example).

More importantly, if you
enable the Recorder’s Automatic
Recording System (ARS), it will
automatically turn off the
Recorder during periods of
silence, eliminating pauses and
dead air that can run your
batteries down needlessly.

The Recorder also has a
“sleep” feature: It will turn itself
off automatically if it’s left on for a
f

ull minute without being operated.

You can do all sorts of things
with your messages. Recording
and playback can be paused
manually, the playback of a
message can be repeated
indefinitely, and you can fast­forward, rewind, search, scan,
and erase your messages.

To see what the Recorder is
doing at any given moment, just
check its front-panel LCD. It
indicates many different
conditions, as shown on page 2,
including the elapsed time of a
message you are recording or
playing back, or the remaining
recording time left in the
Recorder’s memory.

You can connect the Recorder
to a wide variety of external
devices, such as a telephone or
the included microphone or
earphone. The Recorder even
comes with audio cable for
connection to a sound card, plus
Jet Voice Mail software for
message handling on an IBM

compatible PC.
