Setting Time/Date (TIME&DATE)

Setting the correct time and date on the recorder is very important since every file recorded on the recorder will have the date and time information as part of the file header. This will simplify the file management aspects later on.

The hour indicator will flash automatically when you load batteries before using the recorder for the first time, or after the recorder hasn’t been used for a long time.
