3  Configuring the Call Recorder  
A newly installed Call Recorder needs to be configured for the desired 
applications. The configuring menu can be reached by pressing 
. You will 
then be asked to answer a few important configuring questions, regarding the 
clock, for example, or, in one of the sub-menus, the telephone settings. 
In this chapter only configuring the recorder for use as a call recorder is 
discussed.

• Microphone, if you want to record automatically from the 
microphone 
The recorder can only record automatically if the source of the signal has 
been correctly set.

The display will show:

It is important to know which signal the recorder uses to start and stop a 
recording. These are the possibilities:...

In this case the recorder reacts to a signal on the line. Speech detection 
should be used in combination with “Signal Setting”, which is discussed 
below. Speech detection is not advisable when one is recording from the line, 
as the recorder might be set off by not just speech, but by any other signal on 
the line, such as a ring from the phone. 
Opening contact or Closing Contact 
These settings are used when the “Switch”...

A signal beyond the bar is sufficient to start the recorder, with the bar 
indicating the minimum signal level necessary for recording to start. The 
colon indicates the switch-off level. Recording stops when the signal stays 
below the switch-off level for a certain time (manufacturer’s setting is 10 
seconds). Normally the switch-off...

Call Recorder Manual ©-2001 Vidicode Datacommunicatie BV  27 Setting the signal level for speech detection is sometimes found difficult. 
However, setting it correctly only has to be done once, will prevent future 
problems, and boosts the quality of recording. 
W e advise you therefore to adjust your Call Recorder to your handset in the 
way described below. Before you start adjusting, all cables should have been 
properly connected. 
Proceed as follows: 
1.  Enter the menu via the menu key 
2.  Select...

adjust if necessary. It is quite possible that one of the two channels 
reacts in a totally different way from the other. This is normal as one 
channel represents the speaker in the handset, whereas the other 
one represents the microphone of the handset. It is important that 
both the local speaker and the recipient can be seen properly on 1 
channel. 
If the previous...
