The ATTO DIGITAL Promise:
Need to get your conversation on tape? Want a word-for-word record you can reference at any time or send to others? Do you need an incredibly long battery life that can last months without a charge?
If you said yes to the any of the above, especially that part about long battery life, the PowerRec Voice Activated Recorder is what we recommend.
Now that everyone's addicted to their phones, power banks are everywhere! They're typically used to recharge USB-devices like phones, tablets, headphones... those kinds of things.
It works exactly like a regular power bank would - it'll charge your phone or any other battery powered device. Also, it has a compact design with a simplified working mode and as a bonus, all accessories included for easy listening on Android devices.
The PoweRec Audior Recorder is perfect for recording meetings or at your workspace. You could also just keep it in a bag or pocket, since it'll hear fine right through those fabrics.
Imagine how you’d feel if you had one chance to get something on tape...but you forgot to press ‘record’... You’ll never have this problem with this voice activated recorder. It will automatically turn on and start recording when it hears a conversation happening (roughly 45dB). Audio can be captured clearly up to 50-feet away.
Set the device where you want it, and then forget it. It'll turn on the next time it hears sound thanks to its voice-activation feature. When the sound stops for any length of time, it turns off and saves the audio file to the 8GB internal memory. That's about 15 days (380 hours) worth of audio!
TIME/DATE STAMP on audio files can be easily configured so you'll be able to keep track of when and what you recorded at a certain moment.
Wouldn't it be a disaster if the recorder ran out of batteries when you needed it the most? This recorder has such a long battery life that it isn't even a risk. It can stay in standby mode for an astonishing 150 days and record continuously for up to 15 days.
This means if you left the recorder on next to a TV during your next Netflix binge, it could record for 2 whole weeks! It only takes 3 hours to charge this recorder with a USB cable directly from your computer, so battery life isn't even an issue.
It’s really easy to playback your audio files on any computer. Simply plug in the USB cable and you’ll be able to listen, store or even send the audio recordings.
Unlike many other voice recorders that require additional software to install, the PoweREC voice recorder creates MP3 audio files which you'll be able to playback on almost every personal device: PC, MAC, Tablets, Mp3 players and Android Smartphones. The OTG Cable is included in the package.
*iOS devices (iPads or iPhones) can only be used to charge or be charged by the PoweRec.

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.

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.
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.
The device can be used without any password on it (the default setting comes with “0000” password which means that no password is required when the device is used).

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

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.
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.
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.
