SDR-3 (included with MOBILEMAN-I, and MOBILEMAN-II models only)
Use the SDR-3 (if installed) to capture audio direct to SD card. Once recorded, the audio can immediately be
played back. Of course, you can also remove the SD card and transfer the MP3 files to your computer for
further editing and processing.
1.
REC VOL CONTROL
– Use this control to set the recording gain level. Turn clockwise to increase the
gain, turn counter-clockwise to decrease the gain level. Use the REC LEVEL LEDs to monitor the record
level as you adjust the REC VOL CONTROL. Note that the REC VOL CONTROL does not control the
volume level when playing back from the SD card.
2.
PLAY/STOP BUTTON
– This dual function is used to initiate playback of recorded material, and to stop
playback, or a recording, in progress. When not in record mode, press the PLAY/STOP button to start
playback. Playback will commence from the last track recorded. During a recording, press the PLAY/
STOP button to stop the recording and conclude the track.
3.
PREV BUTTON
– This button will skip back through previously recorded tracks. When the first track
recorded is reached, it will continue to skip back starting with the last track recorded.
4.
NEXT BUTTON
– This button will skip forward through previously recorded tracks. When the last track
recorded is reached, it will continue to skip forward from the first recorded track.
5.
REC BUTTON
– This button is used to put the SDR-3 in record mode, initiate recording, and pause a
recording in progress without creating a new track.
In stop mode, press the REC button once to place the SDR- 3 in record pause mode. This is the time to
check the levels of the audio to be recorded and adjust the REC VOL control if necessary.
Press the REC button a second time to begin recording.
Pressing the REC button during a recording in progress will pause the recording without creating a new
track. This is useful for recording several sections of a recording session into a single cohesive track
without breaking it up into several tracks.
6.
REC LED
– This red LED indicates the recording status of the SDR-3. When the SDR-3 is in record
pause mode, the REC LED will blink. When a recording is in progress, the REC LED will be stay lit until
the recording is completed, or is set back to record pause mode.
7.
PLAY LED
– This orange LED will illuminate during playback of recorded material, and during a recording
in progress.
8.
POWER LED
– This green LED indicates the SDR-3 is on and drawing power from the MOBILEMAN. This
LED should illuminate and stay lit as long as the MOBILEMAN is powered on.
9.
SD CARD SLOT
– Insert your SD card into this slot. The SDR-3 will not record without an SD card in this
slot.
10.
REC LEVEL LEDs
– These LEDs visually represent the gain level of the signal being recorded. There
are five green LEDs and two red LEDs. An optimal recording level will illuminate all the green LEDs with
minimal activity on the red LEDs.
