Purpose
The recorders of the Edic-Mini CARD (16) series are professional devices intended for
making high quality record of voice messages onto microSD flash card with the capacity
from 2GB to 32 GB.
Recorders of the Edic-Mini series feature really unique characteristics, among which
the tiniest size, maximum autonomy, and high acoustic sensitivity.The recorders have
proved themselves as personal means of recording audio information. The recorders
are meant for domestic use by a mass consumer.
Audio files are recorded in standard WAV format using FAT32 file system, enabling
the user to playback the recordings on almost any PC, tablet or mobile phone by a
standard media player. To process records and to facilitate the conversion of records to
text, there is the SoundProcessor program operating under WIndows XP (SP2, SP3),
Vista, Windows 7, 8. This program is on the supplied flash card and is also available for
downl oad fr om our we bsi te: www.ts-market.com.

*take into account that the parameter of autonomy is specified for Record Mode 8KHz/8 bit, in
case of higher sampling rate or capacity, autonomy value is lower (for 16 KHz/16 bit approximately
by two times for the recorders with rechargeable batteries and by four times for the recorders with
batteries). Autonomy value considerably depends on battery capacity, its recency, as well as on
the model of microSD in use.
• Battery life for a f lash car d with the c apacit y of 8 GB:
in the m ode 8 KHz /8 bit - 272 hours,
8 KHz/16 bit and 16 KHz/8 bit - 136 hours,
16 KHz/1 6 bit - 68 ho urs .
For flash cards w ith alternative capacit y values, battery li fe is measured in
direct ratio to battery capacity.
• Allowa ble operation-and-storage temperature: 0…+50° C
• Operating lifetime: 3 years

Operating the Recorder
For recorders with batteries, install the battery into the corresponding compartment.
When installing, always observe polarity (see marking on the Recorder’s case).
Inappropriate installing of battery may lead to failure of the Recorder system, which is
not covered by the Warranty. Do not store the Recorder for a long time with a battery
inserted, as the battery may leak and lead to Recorder failure, and that is not covered
by the Warranty.
For recorders with rechargeable battery, first charge the battery. To do this, gently
and without strain follow the correct polarity, insert the flat side of the supplied cable
into the connector of the flash card, and the other side to the USB port of the PC or
a charger, e.g. of a mobile phone, with output voltage 5V and a USB connector. It
should be considered that a charging cable does not have a rigid fixation in the flash
card connector, that’s why both cable and the Recorder should be placed in the way to

maintain contact while charging. During charging red LED is on, after charging has been
completed, green LED is on. Full charging takes approximately 3-4 hours. To retrieve
charging cable, press on the cable and retrieve it.
Please note! In order to avoid deep discharge and related damage of the rechargeable
battery, the Recorder must be charged at least once a month. The failure of the
battery due to its deep discharge is a violation of the rules of operation.
