Recovery Process
In the event of a battery failure while the unit is re-
cording, a recovery process is available to restore
the recording in proper format. When a new battery is
installed and the unit is turned back on, the recorder
will detect the missing data and prompt you to run the
recovery process.
The file must be recovered or the
card will not be usable in the SMWB.
First it will read:
Interrupted Recording
Found
The LCD message will ask:
Recover?
for safe use
see manual
You will have the choice of
No
or
Yes
(No is selected
as the default). If you wish to recover the file, use the
DOWN arrow button to select
Yes
, then press MENU/
SEL.
The next window will give you the option to recover all
or part of the file. The default times shown are the best
guess by the processor where the file stopped record-
ing. The hours will be highlighted and you can either
accept the value shown or select a longer or shorter
time. If you are unsure, simply accept the value shown
as the default.
Press MENU/SEL and the minutes are then highlighted.
You can increase or decrease the time to be recovered.
In most cases you can simply accept the values shown
and the file will be recovered. After you have made your
time choices, press MENU/SEL again. A small
GO!
symbol will appear next to the DOWN arrow button.
Pressing the button will initiate the file recovery. The
recovery will happen quickly and you will see:

Successful
Special Note:
Files under 4 minutes long may recover with additional
data “tacked on” to the end of the file (from previous
recordings or data if the card had been used previ-
ously). This can be effectively eliminated in post with a
simple delete of the unwanted extra “noise” at the end
of the clip. The minimum recovered length will be one
minute. For example, if the recording is only 20 seconds
long, and you have selected one minute there will be
the desired 20 recorded seconds with an additional 40
seconds of other data and or artifacts in the file. If you
are uncertain about the length of the recording you can
save a longer file - there will simply be more “junk” at
the end of the clip. This “junk” may include audio data
recorded in earlier sessions that were discarded. This
“extra” information can be easily deleted in post produc-
tion editing software at a later time.
