How long does it take to charge when battery is fully drained?

The battery is fully charged in only 1.5 hours by connecting the device to the computer via the USB cable.

Setting up time and date stamp

Connect the recorder to a PC, via the USB cable provided in the box and access the folder RECORD in the partition of the device.

In the folder RECORD create a TEXT document with the name time.txt.

a. for Windows PCs - you can right-click in the folder RECORD and select NEW -≥Text Document. Or go to Start menu and open Notepad, create the text file and then save it to the folder RECORD.

b. for Mac - you can either install Notepad or go to Mac editor and select the plaintext format for your document in order to save a .txt file.

The first line should reflect current date and time with the format: yyyymmddhhmmss, as follows:yyyy – four digits format for year (ex. 2020), mm - is 2 digits month (ex. for May is 05),dd - 2 digits day (ex. if today is in 3rd - you must put 03). hh - means 2 digit hour format(24 hours format, not AM or PM)- ex. for 5 PM you must use the digits 17, for 6 AM is06, etc. ; mm - is 2 digit format for minutes and ss - is 2 digit format for seconds.

If today would be the 1st of October 2020, at If today would be the 1st of October 2020, at 11:30 AM, here is what you should write in the time.txt file: 20201001113050 (no spaces in front or after these digits).

The second line reflects the recording mode set up for your device. To set the device to voice-activated recording please use 1. To set the device to continuous recording mode, please use 0.

To resume: Voice activated recording mode = 1; Continuous recording mode = 0

The third line is to set the LED light indicator mode. Setting the mode to 1 means that the blue LED indicator will keep flashing during recording period to signal the device is working.

Setting the value to 0 will mean that the LED indicator will not flash at all during recording time.

Initiate recording

Push the RECORDING “ON/OFF” button to “ON” position and the device will start recording once the red indicator light turns green. NOTE: Please note that the device will start in the last Operating Mode that the voice recorder worked before turning OFF.

What is the difference between the 2 recording modes

The TileRec voice recorder is set to operate 2 recording modes:

1. Continuous recording mode, with a recording quality of 192Kbps. TileRec will continuously record up to 30 hours on its 8GB memory (on a full battery charge and if enough memory is free) all sounds/voices on a 15 ft radius.

2. Voice activated recording mode with a recording quality of 192Kbps. In this mode, the device will initialise recording ONLY if sounds/voices are detected in its action radius. During completely silent periods the device will stop recording, thus avoiding long hours of silent recording so you can listen the audio file easier.

The 40 dB is equivalent for a normal voice conversation in a radius of 10 feet.If no sounds are detected for more than 30 minutes, the current audio file will be saved. The device will resume recording and start a new audio file as soon as sounds are detected in its range again.

PowerREC - Power Bank Voice Recorder

How long does it take to charge when battery is fully drained?

Please connect the recorder to the PC or any USB power source to charge it. When the device is charging, the blue light indicator keeps flashing. The 4 blue led lights will flash intermittently during charging, indicating the actual level of the battery. The recorder is fully charged when the lights stop flashing and remains lit.

• using a 5V/2A output power (see the label of your charger) – 3 hours

• using a 5V/1A output power (see the label of your charger) – 6 hours

The PoweREC battery can last up to 380 hours on a full battery cycle.

NOTE! The recording function is available even when used simultaneously as a power bank to charge other devices. However, due to power consumption, the battery will drain faster than the 380 hours mentioned.If the blue indicator light flashes during recording, it means the power is not enough. The power indicator light will automatically go out after 40 seconds. To shut it sooner, short press the power button twice. When battery level is low you can connect the recorder to power source as it will record and charge simultaneously.

Setting up date and time stamp

Please connect the recorder to the PC and create a new text file into the folder RECORD, with the name of the file: time.

It’s very important that the time.txt file to be in the folder RECORDER, otherwise the device will not set the time and it will use the original date and time of the manufacture date.

So in the folder RECORD you must see now a folder VOICE (where the audio recorded files it will be saved ) and the new text file that you have created before named: time , with the extension of the file .txt . Open time.txt file with any text editor installed in your system and put the current time and date with the following format: yyyymmddhhmmss , where yyyy - is four digit year (ex. 2017), mm - is 2 digit month (ex. for November is 11), dd - 2 digit day (ex. if today is in 3rd - you must put 03). hh - means 2 digit hour in the 24 hours format ( not a.m. or p.m.) - ex. for the time clock 5 p.m. you must use the digit 17, for 6 a.m. is 06, etc; mm - is 2 digit format for minutes and ss - is 2 digit format for seconds.

Let’s take for example of how to create the format of date and time: If today is 22 of April 2020, the time is 05:24 p.m. you must put in the time.txt file the following digits: 20200222172400 (no spaces in front or after these digits). After you insert these digits in the time.txt file save the file, disconnect the recorder from the computer and when you will turn it ON the device will automatically create audio files named after the time and date when you start the device.

Initiate recording

Push the RECORDING “ON/OFF” button to “ON” position and the device will start recording once the red indicator light turns green.

NOTE: Please note that the device will start in the last Operating Mode that the voice recorder worked before turning OFF.You can easily check in what recording mode your device is:• If the green light stays lit, the device is in Continuous Recording Mode.• If the green light blinks, the device is in Voice Activated Mode.To shift between recording modes, please press “Mode” button.

What is the difference between the 2 recording modes

The PoweREC voice recorder is set to operate 2 recording modes:

1. Continuous recording mode, with a recording quality of 128Kbps. PoweREC will continuously record up to 141 hours on its 8GB memory (on a full battery charge and if enough memory is free) all sounds/voices on a 15 ft radius.

2. Voice activated recording mode with a recording quality of 128Kbps. In this mode, the device will initialize recording ONLY if sounds/voices are detected in its action radius. During completely silent periods the device will stop recording, thus avoiding long hours of silent recording so you can listen the audio file easier.

IMPORTANT! If during the Voice Activated Mode the sounds level drops below 40dB, the device will PAUSE recording automatically. It will resume recording once sounds over 40dB are detected in its range. The 40 dB is equivalent for a normal voice conversation in a radius of 10 feet.If no sounds are detected for more than 30 minutes, the current audio file will be saved. The device will resume recording and start a new audio file as soon as sounds are detected in its range again.

Using PoweREC as a power bank

Besides being a reliable voice recorder, the PoweREC is also a great power bank you can use to charge your phone or tablet on the go. You just need to connect the device that needs charging to the USB output of the power bank. Please remember that when the power bank is fully charged all the 4 blue led lights are lit. Each blue light represents 25% of the battery, so if one goes out it means that the battery life of your device reduced with 25%. When your device has only one flashing blue light it means that it needs charging.

How to operate the recorder

To check the power level please short press the Power Bank Button:

• 4 blue leds – 100% battery level

• 3 blue leds – 75% battery level

• 2 blue leds – 50% battery level

• 1 blue led – 25% battery level

When the built-in memory is full, the light will blink very fast for 10 seconds and then automatically turn OFF.

Please connect the device to PC to delete or transfer unnecessary files and free some space on the device’s memory. If you don’t need the recorded files anymore, you can choose to FORMAT the drive, which will quickly erase all files on the drive.
