CONTROLS - FOLDER and FILE SELECTION
The OK button on the front of the recorder acts a little like a ‘ENTER’ key on a
computer. So, if a particular ‘mode’ is selected on the HOME screen, for
example ‘Recorder’ on the image above, you can press the OK button to enter
that mode.
In recorder mode, you will see the contents of the Recorder folder. These are:
Folder A
Folder B
Folder C
Folder D
Folder E
The + and - controls on the front of the recorder let you move up and down in
the list of folders and select a folder using the ‘OK’ button:
Once inside a folder you will see the ‘File List Display’ and choosing a file from
the list will take you into the ‘File Display’ and will automatically play the
selected recording.

The File Display provides information about the currently selected file. For
example, the file name, length, the position within the current folder
(‘005/025’ refers to file 5 of 25), date and time of recording and so on.
Playback can be paused using the ‘STOP’ button (see below). Resume playback
using the ‘OK’ button.
