Your RadioShack 130-Minute Digital Recorder with
Camera is ideal for quick note taking. Its light weight
and ultra-small size make it easy to slip into a pocket,
briefcase, or purse. You can use it at school, at
business conferences, or anywhere on the go. You
can start recording manually, set the recorder so
sound activates recording, or program delayed
recordings. With 8 MB of built-in memory, the recorder
provides up to 130 minutes of recording time in SP
(Standard Play) mode and 30 minutes in HQ (High
Quality) mode. The built-in digital camera lets you
take pictures and transfer them to your PC.
