The recorder can communicate via the rear USB Type B Slave port to a PC running Windows XP and Microsoft‟s ActiveSync™ which can be downloaded from the Microsoft Website at

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/activesync45.mspx

Note that users with Microsoft Vista do not need ActiveSync – synchronization settings will be managed through the Windows Mobile Device Center.

Ensure that the USB Port on the recorder is properly configured using the switch at the bottom rear of the recorder to select the Slave port. Additionally the user can set a password to protect USB access to the recorder. This is done via the System Admin Menu – USB Password Setup.

required password and ActiveSync will show the window shown right. Select No to the “Set Up a

Partnership” request. Note the recorder does not have the ability to synchronize.

Click the Next > button and a connection should be made – screen left.
