levels; (for recording from a noisy phone line when voltage sensing cannot be used due to non-
standard voltages or with normal speaker audio from a radio).
3: Low Sensitivity, suitable for very high audio levels, and high background noise levels.
Recording may stop if audio levels are too weak; (phone recording with non-standard and very
noisy DC voltages, or extra loud radio audio).
After making changes, click the button labeled
Write Hardware
to confirm any changes. You may
be asked to un-plug and re-connect the TeleCorder USB cable to change the TeleCorder operating
parameters that are set to the hardware inside of the TeleCorder. Changes to hardware settings should only
be made when all channels are inactive. After settings have been changed, check to make sure all of the
changes are functioning as expected.
c.
Turn-Off-Delay:
If any channels have VAR selected for recording start/stop, also select one of the
four turn-off-delay options (
VAR Turn Off Delay
); 4, 12, 32 or 100 seconds. This setting will help to
prevent recordings from ending during quiet periods. Click the
Write Hardware
button to confirm any
changes. If set to 12 seconds, a recording will stop after 12 seconds of silence.
d.
VAR TimeOut:
If any channels have VAR selected for start/stop, set the
TimeOut
to one of the
four choices; 20, 40, 60 or 120 minutes. This setting will limit the maximum length of a recording for
easier management of long conversations or for when recording from broadcast radio where pauses may
not be long enough to separate individual recordings using VAR for start/stop. If a recording reaches the
maximum length of time that you select for VAR TimeOut, that recording will end, and a new recording on
that channel will begin. Click the
Write Hardware
button to confirm any changes.
NOTE:
This setting is only for recordings using VAR (
V
oice or
A
udio activated
R
ecording). It does
not limit length of recordings when using voltage sensing for start/stop.
e.
Time and Date Setting:
Date and time are supplied by the clock in your PC. Check it for accuracy.
f.
Audio Recording Modes:
From this sub-button you can set the quality of recordings.
Mode 0
--- Large file, good audio.
8bit linear PCM mode used in the 1
st
generation recorders.
Mode 1
--- Tiny file, poor audio.
2bit ADPCM mode.
Mode 2
--- Small file, good audio.
3bit ADPCM mode. Default mode set from factory.
Mode 3
--- Large file, best audio.
8bit nonlinear PCM mode.
g.
Caller ID Detection Settings:
From this sub-button you can set (turn on/off) the Caller ID detection
features.
Pre-Ring DTMF Detection:
If
the local Caller
ID
mode
is DTMF
and
sent
before the ring, you
must turn this feature on. Otherwise, if erroneous caller numbers are sometimes
received, you should turn this feature off.
Pre-Ring FSK Detection:
If the local Caller ID mode is FSK and sent before the ring, you
must turn this feature on. Otherwise, if erroneous caller numbers are
sometimes received, you should turn this feature off.
Forced FSK Between Rings:
The hardware/firmware is designed to detect FSK caller ID sent
between rings. If there are difficulties with detecting correct caller ID
numbers, you can turn this feature on to improve Caller ID detection.
h.
Notice for PC Settings:
Some of the settings must be locked into the TeleCorder hardware by
restarting the recorder. If this is the case, you will see a message to restart the recorder hardware (unplug
the USB cable from the TeleCorder, wait 10 seconds, and re-connect). Any changes made that are stored in
the TeleCorder should now be locked into the recorder’s internal memory.
After the settings have been changed, check to make sure that the recorder is functioning as expected.
