Installing the batteries
The VR368 digital recorder uses two 1.5 V AAA alkaline
batteries.
To install the batteries:
• Open the battery compartment by sliding the battery
compartment cover on the back of the recorder in the
direction of the arrow.
• Place the batteries into the compartment, making sure they
are inserted according to the correct polarity.
• Slide the battery compartment cover back on until it clicks
into place.
Replacing the batteries
The remaining battery indicator shows the battery consumption
as follows:
Full -----------------------------------> Empty
If the battery mark flashes, replace the new batteries
immediately.
Turning the recorder on
To turn the recorder on, simply press the On/Rec switch on
the front. The recorder switches itself off automatically if it
is not operated for about two minutes.
The LCD
The LCD provides various information about the status of
the recorder.
When the recorder is switched on, the initial display shows
the record mode that is selected (SP - standard play, EP extended play or LP - long play) in the top left corner. In
the top right corner you can see the two-digit index number
of the message (00 if no messages are recorded or if you are
using the recorder for the first time). Underneath the record
mode is a display of the battery status. At the bottom of the
display, you can see the duration of the selected message.
The bar at the very bottom of the display corresponds to the
scale marked 0 - 100% underneath the LCD and shows the
size of the available memory.
Set-up mode
In Set-up mode, you can set various functions on the recorder.
To enter Set-up, make sure the recorder is in stop mode (not
recording or playing back messages). Then press and hold
the Jog dial for two seconds.
The first display shows the amount of available time left
(REMAIN) for recording in the record mode that is displayed
in the top left corner. This REMAIN screen is also used to
change the recording mode. By rotating the Jog dial up or
down, you can scroll to the other functions VOX and BEEP.
To change the record mode:
Press the Jog dial while in the REMAIN screen. You can then
scroll between the record modes SP, EP and LP by rotating the
Jog dial. To set a mode, press the Jog dial when the desired
mode is displayed in the top left corner. The available time
left for recording is displayed at the bottom. The recorder
then automatically returns to normal operation.
To change the VOX mode:
When VOX, or voice activated recording, is set to on, the
recorder will stop recording when it detects several seconds
of silence. It resumes recording automatically when a voice
is detected again.
In Set-up, rotate the Jog dial to scroll to the VOX display
and select it by pressing the Jog dial. Rotate the Jog dial to
toggle between VOX on and VOX off, then press the dial to
confirm the setting you want. The recorder then automatically returns to normal operation.
To change the BEEP mode:
When BEEP is activated, a confirmation tone will be heard.
In Set-up, rotate the Jog dial to scroll to the BEEP display
and select it by pressing the Jog dial. Rotate the Jog dial to
toggle between BEEP on and BEEP off, then press the dial
to confirm the setting you want. The recorder then
automatically returns to normal operation.
Recording
To record a message, press Rec once. The indicator light
above the LCD turns red.
To record, you can use either the internal microphone or you
can plug an external microphone in to the Mic socket on the
top of the recorder. Use a condenser type microphone.
For best results, keep a distance of 10 cm (min.) to 30 cm
(max.) between the microphone (internal or external) and the
sound source.
To stop recording, simply press Rec again.
Marking an index during recording
You can mark an index when you are recording. This means
you can play back the message from the location of the index
instead of having to start right at the beginning.
To mark an index, simply press the Jog dial once while recording.
An index will be located at the next message number during
recording.
Playback
To play back a message:
Use the Jog dial to scroll through the messages until you find
the number of the message you want to hear.
Press the Jog dial once to play back the message. The indicator
light above the LCD turns green.
To stop playback, simply press the Jog dial again.
Deleting messages
Scroll through the messages to find one you wish to delete
by rotating the Jog dial.
Press Del once. The two-digit index number will flash.
Press Del again to confirm the erasure of the single message,
press Rec to cancel the erasure, or rotate the Jog dial to toggle
from a single message to all messages. When ALL flashes in
the display, press Del to confirm the erasure of all messages,
or press Rec to cancel the erasure.
Reset
If the recorder should malfunction, use a blunt point (e.g. the
tip of a pencil or the nib of a pen) to press the Reset key on
the back of the recorder.
If the memory has been corrupted, reset the system as follows:
• Press and hold the Del key;
• At the same time, press the Reset key as described above;
• Release the Reset key;
• Wait until the "REMAIN" icon is displayed.
• Release the Del key.
• The memory will be initialised after about 45 seconds.
