To make a new profile press the new button, enter a profile name in the Profile ID box and enter a
File prefix in the File prefix box. After entering all the other preferred options press the OK button
and your profile will be stored on the disk. (becomes visible in the user profile box). The maximum
number of profiles you can create is 30. If you use the compact flash reader, take out the card and
insert it in the HandHeld. If you use the USB connection, leave the USB mode and the profiles
become available in the profile selector in the main menu.
Profile ID: Enter the name of the profile. This name will be displayed in the select profile menu on
the handheld.
File Prefix: These are the first 6 characters of the actual file name of an item. The next 2 charac-
ters are placed by the HandHeld itself. For example: if reporter Bert makes two recordings with
profile “Mono MPEG”, the actual file names on the disk will be: Bert01.wav and Bert02.wav. Each
profile can have its own or the same prefix.
Reporter: In this box you can enter the name of the user. This information is copied in the header
information of each file and can be used by Broadcast Automation Systems for further processing.
Company: In this box you can enter the name of the company or broadcaster. This information is
copied in the header information of each file and can be used by Broadcast Automation Systems
for further processing.
Compression: Choose between uncompressed audio or compressed audio. Compressed lets you
store more audio on the same disk with almost the same quality.
Sample rate: Equals the amount of audio samples taken within a second. Higher sample rates
equals higher quality, equals more disk space needed.
Mode: Enter here whether you want to make a stereo, or mono recording.
Bit rate: (MPEG only) this represends the compression ratio. High bitrates equals low compres-
sion, equals more disk space needed.
Pre-recording: In this menu option you can disable the Pre-Record buffer, or enter the size of this
buffer in seconds.
Audio input: Configure the analoge inputs of the HandHeld as a line level input or as a micropho-
ne input.

adjusts its gain level on the incomming audio. Manual gain is disabled.
Limiter: (microphone inputs only) Limits the gain preventing the inputs from going into overload.

light is switched on, the run time of the batteries will decrease with approxamitely 5%.
