The HandHeld stores a recording as an item on a compact flash card, a non volatile random accessible
media. This means that you don’t have to “search for an empty spot” on the disk before making a new
recording. Also no rewind or fast forward is necessary to access a different item for playback; the
HandHeld does this automatically. The maximum number of items on a disk is 99 and the maximum num-
ber of markers per item is also 99. A new item number is given automatically when the HandHeld switches
from record to idle mode and is always the next number in line.
Making a recording on the HandHeld involves basically three steps:
• Preparations: set up the recorder.
• Record level: set the proper input level for this recording.
• Recording: Make the actual recording.
Preparations
Before actual recording please check these basic requirements:
• Is a compact flash card inserted?
• Is a power source connected? See Chapter 4
• Which input source(s) is/are connected and is/are it/they configured? See Chapter 7
• Switch on the HandHeld recorder.
• Does the power source contain enough energy? See Chapter 6
• Does the card contain enough free space to make a new recording? See Chapter 6
• Is the right profile selected? See Chapter 9
If all requirements are made the HandHeld is ready for making a new recording.
Record level
One last thing to be done before making an actual recording is the input gain adjustment. This can be
done in two ways:
• Manual Gain Control
•
Automatic Gain Control
