Power
Turn the recorder on with the power switch on the left side (U).
The Zoom H2 Handy Recorder runs on 2 AA batteries, but we recommend using the AC power adapter (V) whenever possible to
make sure the batteries don't die in the middle of a recording. If you can't plug the recorder in, try to have backup batteries on
hand just in case, and keep track of the battery meter in the lower left corner of the screen (E).
Recording to SD Card
The Zoom H2 records onto an SD card, located in a slot on the bottom of the device (N). We lend it with a card, so you do not need
to provide your own unless you prefer to do so.
Using the Menus on the Zoom H2 Recorder:
Press the Menu button to get into the menu.
Use the double arrow (fast forward and rewind) buttons (G) to move up and down in the menu
Use the the Record button (L) to select/activate a menu item.
Format the SD Card (warning: this will erase ALL of the data on the SD card):
Formatting the SD card will remove all of the data remaining (if any) from the previous user, and prepare the card for you to make
your own recordings. This step is a good habit to get into.
1. Press the Menu (K) button
2. Press the left double-arrow/rewind button 3 times to move to the "SD CARD" menu item.
3. Select "FORMAT"
4. Select "YES"
The Zoom will then format the SD card.
Choose an audio recording format/quality:
1. Press Menu
2. Choose REC MODE
3. Use the double-arrow buttons to choose a recording format and quality. (You can use any setting you like, but we recommend
using "MP3 160kbps", which provides very good sound quality with a small file size, and allows the Zoom to record for almost 7
hours before running out of space on the included 512MB SD card.)
4. Press the Menu button to exit back to the main screen.
5. The bottom right corner of the screen will indicate how much recording time you have left in hours, minutes, and seconds. (J)
