• Make sure the digital voice recorder is powered on before connecting it to your PC.

• Make sure the recorder is not connected to the PC during recording or playback.

Folder structure when connected to a PC

When the recorder is connected to a PC, it appears as a removable drive in Microsoft Windows. The recordings are stored on this removable drive in the folder structure shown below.

..........................

.....................

Removable drive

...........

1 folder Corresponds to folder 1 on the recorder

Backing up recorded audio data

The audio recordings are stored as data files in folders 1 to 4. To store these files on your PC, copy folders 1 to 4 to a folder of your choice. Refer to the Microsoft Windows User’s Manual for instructions on copying files and folders.

Transferring audio data back to the digital voice recorder

To transfer audio files stored on your PC to the recorder so that you can listen to them, copy folders 1 to 4 from your PC to the SACM folder on the removable drive. Copying stored folders from your PC to the recorder will overwrite the folders and files previously stored in the recorder, and their contents will be lost forever. Appropriate care is therefore necessary when performing this step.

Notes:

Be sure to keep the following points in mind when connecting the recorder to a PC.

• Do not use your personal computer to format the removable drive representing the digital voice recorder. Doing so could cause the recorder to malfunction, possibly making it impossible to record or play back audio correctly, reducing the recording time or causing data corruption.

• Do not create new folders inside the SACM folder or delete or rename the folders it contains. Doing so could cause the recorder to malfunction, possibly resulting in data loss or the deletion of recorder settings.

• Do not copy files other than audio files recorded using the recorder to the folders inside the SACM folder. Doing so could cause the recorder to malfunction.

• If you try to play a file in an incompatible format to the recorder, “ ? ? ?” appears on the display and the file does not play.

• Always copy audio recordings from the recorder to your PC, or from your PC to the recorder, an entire folder at a time. Attempting to copy individual files could result in the accidental deletion of important files from the recorder or cause it to malfunction.

• Do not change the names, attributes or extensions of audio files. Doing so could cause the recorder to malfunction.

• Do not unplug the USB cable while data transfer is in progress. Doing so could result in data corruption or cause the recorder to malfunction.

• Do not connect the digital voice recorder to your PC during recording or playback.

• Do not copy so many audio files to the recorder that its storage capacity is used up. Doing so may result in a very short available recording time or recording may not be possible at all.

• Recorded data is stored in the audio files in a proprietary format. It is not possible to play audio files recorded using the recorder on your PC using Windows Media Player or similar applications.

• Do not connect the recorder to your PC when the batteries are dead or if there are no batteries in the recorder. Doing so could cause the recorder to malfunction or could result in the recorder not being recognized as an external drive by the PC.
