Maintenance Features
- Charging: Two ways to charge:

- Charging time is generally 2-3 hours. The indicator light is red when charging and turns blue when fully charged. Avoid charging for over 10 hours.
- Connecting to Computer: Turn off the device first. Use the original white USB cable. Disconnect using "Safely Remove Hardware" (Windows) or "Eject" (Mac OS). Use the original USB data cable, not just a charging cable, to ensure recognition.
- Troubleshooting:
- Format/Reboot: For drive-related issues (full memory, messy file names, large file size, damaged files), formatting the device often works. For product malfunction (not turning on, indicator light not responding, always lit red), rebooting the device often works. Always back up files before formatting or rebooting.
- Not Recording/Not Turning On: Check power and memory. Ensure correct operation. Format or reboot if needed. Contact support for free replacement if the issue persists. If unused for a long time, charge it.
- Indicator Light Not Responding/Always Lit: Wrong operation or software damage. Follow instruction video to reboot or contact support.
- Not Recognized by Computer: Use original USB cable. Check if it's a data cable, not just charging. Some tools are EXE format and may not be supported by Mac; find transformation software. Check "Computer-Organize-Properties-Device Manager-Disk drive/Universal Serial Bus Controller" and send a screenshot to support.
- Complicated Operation: Refer to video instructions or contact support.
- Voice Activated Recording Not Working: Confirm correct operation. Adjust VOR sensitivity parameter in the "FACTORY" file (0-7 level; lower number for higher sensitivity, higher number for lower sensitivity). Default is 3. Record at a certain distance and sound level (over 60db). Reboot the device.
- Not Charging/Charging Too Hot: Use original USB cable. Check if the cable is damaged. Ensure charger output is 500mA-1000mA or 5V. Avoid charging for over 10 hours. Turn off the device before charging.
- Recordings Not Playing on Computer: Use WAV-format supported media player (Windows Media Player or VLC Media Player). Windows 10 GROOVE player is not compatible.
- Poor Recording Quality: Record in quiet environments, place the recorder stably, avoid friction. Adjust microphone sensitivity (GAIN) in the "FACTORY" txt file. Use high-quality earphones for listening.
- General Precautions: Turn off the device before charging or connecting to a computer. Always turn off the device after recording to save files and prevent data loss. Use the original white USB cable. Regularly back up files to prevent loss.
