Switching The FlashMic On

The FlashMic is switched on by a SHORT PRESS on the jogswitch, and switched off by a LONG PRESS until the text OFF appears in the display. The FlashMic will turn off when the jogswitch is released.

Note that it is not possible to turn the FlashMic off while it is connected to a computer via its USB cable.

On switching the FlashMic on, the LCD panel displays in sequence:

DRM85

ê

Firmware version

ê

Microphone name

ê

Active preset.

Note that the factory default microphone name is DRM_85 and the factory default preset is PSET_1.

After this sequence, the FlashMic is in its standby state – referred to in this manual as IDLE mode - and the displays are as shown below.

FlashMic IDLE Mode Displays

In IDLE mode – i.e. when the FlashMic is powered but not otherwise being operated

the main display alternates between the number of the last recording (TRKnnn - recorded files within the FlashMic are referred to as ‘tracks’) and the remaining recording time.

An exception to this is when no recordings have been made since the FlashMic was last reconfigured, when the message NOFILE appears instead of TRKnnn.

The FlashMic is fitted with an internal calendar/clock. Before using the FlashMic for the first time it is recommended that this is set correctly. See Clock Set Menu, page 23 for details of how to do this.
