You have two options to activate the Record function and start recording audio.

•Use the Multi-function button (set to Record function).

Refer to "Rear panel" on the Acer s50 and s60 Handhelds Quick Guide for the location of the Multi-function button.

Before Recording mode is initialized, Recorder checks if the DSP (Digital Signal Processing) chipset is available. If it is being used by another application, the warning message below appears.

In the warning message box, you can either:

•Tap OK to terminate the application currently using the DSP. This will start Recording mode, or

•Tap Cancel to continue with the original DSP task. The Recorder main screen will be shown.

NOTE: This DSP-related error also occurs when Playback mode is activated while the DSP chipset is occupied by another application.
