Overlook
1. Purpose
Voice recorders of the Edic-mini Tiny (16) + series are professional devices
intended for making high quality record of vo ice messages into builtin flash memory. The recordings can be further uploaded onto the PC.
These voice recorders feature really unique characteristics (the world's smallest size,
maximum autonomy, high acoustic sensitiv ity etc).
The recorders are marketed as personal means of documenting audio information
providing protection against fake records as well as unauthorized access to records.
The EMPlus program located in the built-in memory is used to operate the recorder.
SoundProcessor program is designed to process the transfer red records and t o
facilitate the conversion of records to text. The programs operate under Windows XP
(SP2, SP3)/Vista/7/8/10.
2. Features
Depending on the model, the recorder features:
• extremely small dimensions,
• weight and current consumption,
• long record duration (from 150 hours at sampling rate 8 kHz),
• wide frequency and dynamic range,
• built-in clock and calendar,
• the option to start recording at the preset time using timer,
• due to the absence of rem ova bl e ele me nt s the recorder is operational
under wi de temperature ranges when
shaking or d usted,
• the LED indicates operating modes of the dev ice as well as its stat us.
3. Short description
The recorder is equipped with Voice activation system (VAS) enabling to compress
pauses efficiently in messages therefore saving considerably the recorder's memory.
When uploading records onto the PC the duration of pauses can be restored in the
form of silence or deleted depending on t he settings specified.
The recorder makes it possible to perform timer recording: either daily (with record
start and end time specified) or once (with date and time of record's start and end
parameters speci fied).
To protect the recorder’s information and setting there is the option to set user's
password. Each record performed by the recorder has a mark of time and date supplied
with “digital signature” to identify the model of the recorder to have performed the
recording and the attempts to modify it after uploa di ng to PC.
The user may set tabs while recording. These markers will be visible by
SoundProcessor program on PC. Using them it is easy and quick to find important
moments in long records.
Depending on the m odificati on, recorders differ in:
• Power source (battery, built-in rechargeable battery or rechargeable battery +
solar battery, external power supply)
• Built-in memory capacity
• The option to quic k ly replace the memory
The user can upgrade the recorder's fir m ware via USB port.

5. Recording Duration
Recording duration depends on the type and quality of the battery in use, its charge
level, and the record mode specified.
It is recommended not to use mode 22kHz for recording on to recorders with battery,
because operation in this mode requires very large currents. Often batteries are not
designed for such currents and the recorder records much less time than the one
specified. Accordingly recording time in the mode 22kHz depends greatly on the battery
quality. If this mode is needed, please use batteries which designed to work not with
watches but with technique. Battery 2016 brands that we recommend – Duracell, Sony
Energizer, Renata, Varta.
Operatio n the Recorder
6. Installing and replacing batteries
Note! Only for recorders with replaceable battery (B-type models)
Before starting, install the supplied battery. The LED flashes 3 times and it will be on
for about 40 sec. Now the recorder is ready to start operating. When installing, always
observe polarity (marking on the recorder's case corresponds to the one on the battery).
Incorrect installation of battery may lead to malfunction, which is not covered
by the war ranty repai r.
7. Supplying power for E71,E72,E84
Switch the recorder to OFF position and then connect DC power supply (3.6-6V) to
pins 1 (minus, gold colored wire) and 2 (plus, red colored wire) of the cable coming
from the Recorder. If the voltage source is represented by a Li-Pol battery, the
connected pins 2 and 3 (green colored wire) of the cable can provide battery
charge with the current of 100mA (provided the recorder is connected to the adapter,
and the adapter is connected to the USB).
8. Start and Stop Recording
To start recording, set the Switch to «On». The LED flashes five times, and the recorder
starts recording. During recording, the LED is flashing, the number of flashes
indicating:
