Call Recorder Manual ©-2001 Vidicode Datacommunicatie BV 51 This function allows you to determine the time when the recorder should automatically copy the recordings from the memory onto the disk. Fill in a time when the recorder is normally not in use. It is also possible to switch off automatic copying. Note: If automatic copying is switched off, the working memory will fill up over time. The oldest recordings will be overwritten continuously to make place for new recordings. It will be up to you to ensure that the memory is copied in time (within four hours of recording time). It is also possible to determine yourself whether you want to save recordings and to copy them onto the disk individually. If a partly filled memory is about to run out of space the recorder will warn you a number of times with a sound signal and a statement on the display. 7.3.6 Software Update Software Update START STOP This function allows the recorder to load a new software version from the disk. The recorder recognizes the necessary files; in this way the software could also be partially updated. 7.4 Copying One Recording It is possible to copy only one recording from disk to memory and vice versa. This can be useful if the recording needs to be kept separately. It is done as follows: If the Recording is in the Memory: • Select the recording • Press • Confirm the request to copy
Call Recorder Manual ©-2001 Vidicode Datacommunicatie BV 52 If the Recording is on the Disk: In this situation the recorder assumes that you want to copy the recording onto another disk • Select the recording to be copied • Press • Confirm the order to copy • The disk is ejected after copying • Insert another disk • Confirm the request to copy • The recording is copied onto the new disk If you only wanted to copy into the memory, do not confirm the request to copy the second time. In that case the original disk can be put back into the drive. 7.5 Playing Back from a Disk A full disk can be put back into the recorder at any time, and all recordings on the disk can be played back. The Call Recorder will still record even with a full disk in place. After a full disk has been listened to, the present working disk should be replaced to enable the recorder to copy the recordings of that day onto the working disk at night. Note: Please be aware that if you try to locate recordings on an older disk, you will find not only the recordings on the disk, but also the recordings of the calls of that day which are still in the memory. 7.6 LS120 Disks and your PC If your PC has an LS120 disk drive, the disks recorded in the Call Recorder can be placed in the drive of the PC and from there copied to whichever

Using Call Recorder Archive Software is the best way of importing recordings from the Call Recorder into a PC. This software will enable you to play the recordings via the loudspeakers of your PC, or convert them without any loss of quality into the audio format ADPCM, which can be played by any PC with a sound card.

A reason to do so would be that many users prefer to have as few pieces of equipment on their desk as possible. Call Recorder users will have to accustom themselves to phoning with a headset, but people who often ring from their desks will soon see its advantages compared to a handset. 8.1 Operating the Call Recorder as a Normal Telephone The Call Recorder is operated similarly to a normal telephone. Dialling a Number - traditional Press . The display will show: Dial a number: FLASH REPEAT VOLUME and the dialling tone can be heard. Either key in the number or press the ‘REPEAT’ soft key to repeat the number last dialled. Recording will start automatically.

Dialling a number – GSM style It is possible to key the number in first, like one does with a GSM phone, and then to press the telephone key next to make a connection. W hen keying in the number you might read, for example:

Please remember that the telephone functions only work for a Call Recorder that has been set to ‘Telephone’, the first question in the configuration menu. To get to the telephone configuration menu, first press the key and then choose the ‘Telephone settings’ menu. It offers the following options: 8.2.1 Telephone Active or not Telephone active: Yes NEXT CHANGE BACK If the telephone is de-activated here, the telephone-functions and the telephone answering machine cannot be used. 8.2.2 Hook Flash and Earth Flash There are two installation questions referring to the operation of the ‘FLASH’ softkey. Put on hold: Hook-Flash NEXT CHANGE BACK The possibilities are Hook-flash or Earth-flash. The type of telephone exchange you have will determine which one of these should be selected. Both methods are in common use. Hook-Flash time: 100ms NEXT CHANGE BACK The duration of the hook-flash or earth-flash can also be set.

Don’t make the waiting time too long or you might miss the beginning of the conversation. 8.2.4 Caller ID Caller ID: No NEXT CHANGE BACK This refers to caller ID, the system that allows you to be informed about the telephone number of the caller. Caller ID is a function of the telephone network that is available in some countries and that you have to subscribe to. It will not work on an in-house telephone system. Only enable caller ID when you have subscribed to the function. W hen enabled the Call Recorder will store the telephone number of incoming calls exactly in the same way as it stores telephone numbers of outgoing calls. This will allow you to search by telephone number and to read the telephone number from the display when listening to a recorded call. 8.2.5 K-break Detection (UK only) K-break detection: Yes NEXT CHANGE BACK Analog telephone lines in the United Kingdom use a K-break to indicate to a telephone that a call has been answered. K-break detection is important because it allows a telephone answeringmachine to determine when a call is over and the recording should be stopped. If your Call Recorder is not directly connected to an analog telephone line, it is better to switch off the K break detection.
