Battery Installation; Compatible Memory Cards; Installing The Card; Formatting The Sd Card - Lectrosonics PDR Instruction Manual

Battery Installation

The audio recorder is powered by a single AAA lithium
battery, offering over six hours of operation.
We recommend using lithium batteries for longest life.
Alkalines will offer from 2 to 3.5 hours. Zinc-carbon
batteries marked "heavy-duty" or "long-lasting" are not
adequate.
The battery status indicator circuitry requires compen-
sation for the difference in voltage drop between alka-
line and lithium batteries across their usable life, so it's
important to select the correct battery type in the menu.
Push inward on the release catches to open the door.
Insert the battery according to the markings inside the
battery compartment door. The (+) pos. end of the bat-
tery is oriented as shown here.

Compatible memory cards

The card should be a microSDHC memory card, speed
class 10, or any UHS speed class, 4GB to 32GB. The
recorder supports the UHS-1 bus type, marked on the

Formatting the SD Card

SD cards come pre-formatted with a FAT32 file system
which is optimized for good performance. The PDR
relies on this performance and will never disturb the
underlying low level formatting of the SD card. When
the PDR "formats" a card, it performs a function similar
to the WIndows "Quick Format" which deletes all files
and prepares the card for recording. The card can be
read by any standard computer but if any write, edit or
deletions are made to the card by the computer, the
card must be re-formatted with the PDR to prepare it
again for recording. The PDR never low level formats a
card and we strongly advise against doing so with the
computer.
To format the card with the PDR, select Format Card in
the menu and press MENU/SEL on the keypad.
See pages 4-7 for details on navigating the menus.
Portable Digital Recorder
Insert the card with the
label facing the keypad
side of the recorder.
