2 - Setup and Charging

Connecting to a Computer

No drivers are required MicroTrack II is class compliant, meaning you do not need to install any special drivers when
connecting MicroTrack II to your computer

Charging the Battery with the USB Power Supply

The MicroTrack II built-in battery ships with only a minimal charge and you must charge it from a power source (your
computer’s USB connection or the included power supply) before you can use it
It is essential that you fully charge the MicroTrack II battery before using your new recorder Failure to fully charge the
battery before first use can limit the capacity of the battery, lowering the total recording time of MicroTrack II.
To charge the battery, follow the steps below:
< Plug the smaller end of the supplied USB cable into the USB connector on the bottom of MicroTrack II
< Plug the large end of the USB cable into the supplied USB power supply
< Plug the USB power supply into a power outlet
< An animated battery symbol will be displayed in the right upper corner of the LCD on MicroTrack II to indicate
that the device is being charged
< When the battery is fully charged, the animation will stop, the battery symbol will appear solid, and a check
mark will be displayed next to the battery symbol, indicating that the charging process has finished
< You can now disconnect MicroTrack II from the USB cable
You will have to recharge the battery from time to time as you use the device There is a battery meter icon in the upper-
left corner of the MicroTrack II screen that shows the estimated battery power remaining When the battery power is
nearly depleted, “battery low” will be shown on the LCD display When this message appears, you should recharge
MicroTrack II immediately If you continue to run MicroTrack II on battery power after seeing this message, the unit will
eventually turn off You will then have to recharge the battery before MicroTrack II can be turned on again
If you recharge the battery before the unit becomes inoperable, the charge time will be approximately 2 5 hours If you
drain the battery to a point where MicroTrack II will no longer turn on, a full charge can take approximately 6 5 hours

Power Saving (Hibernation Mode)

When MicroTrack II is on, not plugged into a power source, and has been inactive for 10 minutes, it will enter hibernation
mode This feature will turn off all non-essential components to minimize power consumption and maintain battery life A
brief press of the power key will instantly return the device to the last state it was in before hibernation, allowing you to
start a new recording immediately If the battery drains completely while in hibernation mode, MicroTrack II will save its
preferences before powering itself off
