To make sure this setting has been selected, Look for the
WAV symbol in the centre of the screen.

button until you see ‘48/ 16’ in the top middle of the

What does WAVE (.wav) do?
Wave (.wav) and MP3 are types of sound files.
o Wave is high quality and compatible with different kinds of electronic
communication devices.
o MP3 is a compressed sound file which means you will be able to fit more
recordings onto the memory card but the quality is lower.
What does the sampling rate and bit depth do?
The sampling rate and bit depth define the likeness to the original sound. The higher
the rate, the better quality the recording but you need more bits when you have a
complex sound, less for a simpler sound. 48 kHz, 16 bit is a good general setting for
message banking recordings.
