CR-200 / CR-100 USB Ver. 2-3 - Installation and User Guide
34/64
5.1 Settings of the unit / date and time
•
Date and Time
The CR-200 records phone calls indepently of a PC or laptop on the USB flashdrive
stick inserted. To be able to memorise also the time and date the recording took place,
the CR-200 has a built-in realtime clock. This clock has to be set to the actual time - at
when taking the unit into operation for the first time.
To set the clock, you can generate a file „TIME.DAT“ using the CallRecorder PC
software. This file is the copied to the flashdrive stick. Once the flasdrive is inserted into
the CR-200, the unit will chekc for this file upon start-up an set the clock, if such file
exists. After that, the file will be deleted to prevent from setting the clock again at a
newly start-up of the unit.
The CR-200 has an internal backup for the realtime clock, which ensures correct date
and time even if the power supply is disconnected. The maximum backup time without
power supply is approx. 10 days. As long as the unit is only switched off by the „On -
Off“ switch, the clock is being powered anyway. Please note that the full backup time
will only be achieved, after the unit has been powered by the power supply for at least
30 minutes.
If the backup time is exhausted, when powering on the unit the status LED will flash red
after starting up the flashdrive stick and before going into operation. Moreover, in the file
INFO.TXT on the flashdrive stick there will be an entry „Time ???“ (see chapter 3.2.6).
Recordings can of course be done, but time and date will be incorrect unless the clock
is set again.
Regarding the generation of the “TIME.DAT” file for setting the clock, please refer to
chapter 7.2. You can also set the clock any time later again, e.g. to adjust it to daylight
saving time (which is not automatically done by the unit) or to adjust it.

Configuration
On delivery, the CR-200 is set to a default configuration, which should be useful for
most applications. Although, you can do some personal settings on the unit, e.g. you
can deactivate the automatic start feature or set your individual password. Please refer
to chapter 7.2 for configuration settings. By means of the CallRecorder PC software you
can create a configuration file, which the unit will read from the USB flashdrive stick
upon start-up and save to the internal memory. By using this mechanism, also user-
dependent settings are possible, because the file will be kept on the flashdrive stick.
