Recording Using An External Microphone; Starting Recording Automatically; Using The Timer Function - Philips DVT1300 User Manual

Note
• To start a new recording: To stop the current recording and start
a new one, press b.
• To prevent files from getting too big during a long recording, such as
due to a meeting that lasts several hours, you can automatically split
recordings (see also chapter 8.1.6 Setting auto divide, page 31).
• Each folder can store up to 99 files. The file size depends on the
recording quality (see also chapter 8.1.1 Setting the recording quality,
page 28).
If the recording time or the number of files exceeds the available
capacity, recording stops and a message is displayed. You cannot make
any more recordings. Delete the recordings which you no longer
require, or connect the device to a computer and transfer the files to
your computer.
Tip
• Replace or recharge the batteries before starting a long recording
session.
