Gnome P. User Guide
The red LED (N6 in Figure 5.1) will light up and remain on continuously until the battery
is fully charged, after which the charge process will automatically terminate and the LED in-
dicator will switch off.
Before switching on the voice-recorder for the first time after purchase or after voice-re-
corder being not in use for an extended period of time, charging of the built-in battery during
not less than 5 hours is required. For the first 20 minutes, LED indicator may not light up,
and PC may not detect the voice-recorder.
In this case, you should wait for 20 minutes, then, if the indicator does not light up, dis-
connect and connect again power supply. This can be repeated up to three times. If, never-
theless, the LED indicator still does not light up, contact with technical support.
Attention!
To prevent battery failure due to over-discharging, follow these rules:
●
If the voice-recorder is out of use for an extended period of time, top up charge
the battery at least once every four weeks.
●
Recharge the battery after each recording session.
5.5. Flash memory
Audio data is written to and stored in an integrated nonvolatile 2GB or 4 GB NAND
flash memory. Even if the voice-recorder is not powered, all data is stored in its flash
memory for up to 10 years.
All recordings can be erased from the voice-recorder memory either manually or by
means of the Sound Manager Gnome P software (see 6.4).

OPERATING GNOME P
6.1. Gnome P operational states
Gnome P can be in one of the two operational states:
-
standby;
-
active.
Gnome P comes complete with an integrated fully charged battery, so that you can get
started immediately.
In active mode the voice-recorder can only perform data recording, playback and dele-
tion. Recording can be started/stopped by setting the ON/OFF switch (N2 in Figure 5.1) to
an appropriate position. This is accompanied by the LED indicator blinking once.
Once enabled, Gnome P starts recording with pre-set default settings: mono recording
at 16 kHz sampling rate, without compression, input gain level 36 dB (manual), signal input
via left channel internal microphone, record switch blocked, PIN code and date/time not set.
6.2. Preparing Gnome P for operation
Before recording with Gnome P do the following:
●
Connect Gnome P to a PC using a PC connection cable (see 5.3) and install drivers
from the installation CD.
●
Install Sound Manager Gnome P software on your PC (see 7.2).
●
Run Sound Manager Gnome P.
