• When recording in 'mono' press  2 & 3 on the left of the device. Go into menu by using the scroller on the right.

What the numbers on the left mean:

1-internal use (input)

2-Microphone (output)

3-Microphone (output)

Select '1' (input) on the device

• Make sure Mono mix is off
• 1/2 mix in the menu is off
  (In that order) 

A Microphone goes into Part 1 for recording sound.

'Phatom' power needs to be on to make the microphone work.

Click 'Rec' to format the sound files.
Always Rec format - WAV48KHZ when working with video
Also select 24bit in the menu 

Note - you may want to reformat the device when you use it to swipe any audio which is not
