Record Lock
The FlashMic is equipped with a REC LOCK function to prevent the accidental cancelling of REC mode during a recording.
Once in REC mode, press the REC button a second time, holding it down for at least 2 seconds, until the LCD screen displays the text LOCKED.
Pressing the M/STOP button will now have no effect (other than to display the text
LOCKED).
To disable REC LOCK mode, press and hold the REC button until the LOCKED display changes
to UNLOCK.
Now the recording can be stopped in the normal manner by pressing M/STOP.

Monitoring
A pair of headphones may be connected to the FlashMic for monitoring purposes. Headphones of 32 ohms impedance or higher should be used. Connect the headphones via the 3.5mm
The monitor output may be used to drive external equipment for monitoring or recording if desired.
The monitor level is adjusted with the jogswitch; a SHORT PRESS shows the text PHONnn on the LCD display, where nn = the current level. (The units are arbitrary; 00 = off, 50 = max.) A SHORT UP TURN or DOWN TURN will respectively increase or decrease the monitor level. Note that the monitor level always resets to a factory preset level when the FlashMic is switched on. The level can be adjusted during REC, PLAY or IDLE modes.
The LCD display will return automatically to the REC or IDLE displays after a timeout period of approx. 2 seconds.

Adjusting Record Level
!Adjustment of Record level is only possible if the FlashMic has been set (via the FlashMic Manager software) to permit configuration changes by the user. See the section on FlashMic Manager for more information.
The recording level is adjusted with the jogswitch. A SHORT UP TURN or DOWN TURN
while in REC mode displays the text RVOLnn, where nn = the current level. (Unlike monitor level, the units are not arbitrary, being increments of approximately 1dB; 01 = min, 40 = max.) Further SHORT UP or DOWN TURNS will nudge the record level up or down.
When the record level is reduced to minimum, the AGC system is selected and the display
shows RV AGC. In this mode, FlashMic automatically adjusts recording level according to the sound level. In most situations, this ensures that a recording of usable level will be made, but as with all automatic gain systems, a degree of background noise “pumping” may be audible on the recording.
It is also possible to adjust the FlashMic’s recording level from IDLE mode, using the menu system. See FlashMic Menu System, page 16.
Note that the record level always resets to the last value used when the FlashMic is switched on, and not to the value set as part of the preset by FlashMic Manager. (See section on FlashMic Manager for more information on presets.)
