Files and Saving to PC

   

          Wave Files are a widely used and supported multimedia File Format for the PC and other computer 
systems. Since the 

Tele

Corder

 uses a unique format for saving the recordings in digital form, digitally 

converting them is a better way to exchange information with other systems that do not have 

Tele

Corder

 

software. You can use your PC to send audio recordings via e-mails or make backup CDs without worrying 
that others may not be able to play them. 

.UPx

 files are stored in the 

Tele

Corder 

format.  

          There is an option to save individual recordings when they are selected for playback (select the 
button with red dot “

Q

” from playback menu).

 

Use the

 

Browse

 button to select the folder on your PC hard 

drive where you wish to save the copies of the recordings.
