Record Lock
The FlashMic is equipped with a REC LOCK function to prevent the accidental
cancelling of REC mode during a recording.
Once in REC mode, press the REC button a second time, holding it down for at least
2 seconds, until the LCD screen displays the text LOCKED.
Pressing the M/STOP button will now have no effect (other than to display the text
LOCKED).
To disable REC LOCK mode, press and hold the REC button until the LOCKED display
changes to UNLOCK.
Now the recording can be stopped in the normal manner by pressing M/STOP.

Monitoring
A pair of headphones may be connected to the FlashMic for monitoring purposes.
Headphones of 32 ohms impedance or higher should be used. Connect the
headphones via the 3.5mm 3-pole jack marked PHONES on the FlashMic bottom
panel. The mono signal from the FlashMic will be heard in both earpieces. Headphone
monitoring of live audio is active in both IDLE and REC modes.
The monitor output may be used to drive external equipment for monitoring or
recording if desired.
The monitor level is adjusted with the jogswitch; a SHORT PRESS shows the text
PHONnn on the LCD display, where nn = the current level. (The units are arbitrary; 00
= off, 50 = max.) A SHORT UP TURN or DOWN TURN will respectively increase or
decrease the monitor level. Note that the monitor level always resets to 28 when
the FlashMic is switched on. The level can be adjusted during REC, PLAY or IDLE
modes.
The LCD display will return automatically to the REC or IDLE displays after a timeout
period of approx. 2 seconds.
PreRecord Buffer (Introduction)
In a busy journalistic schedule, it is sometimes difficult - or impossible - to get to the
record button quickly enough. The result is a recording that starts a few seconds
after the vital bit of information that was needed. The FlashMic incorporates a pre-
record buffer of up to 10 seconds (adjustable), which avoids this situation.
When the recording is replayed, it will be found that it begins with a few seconds of
audio immediately before the REC button was pressed.
See PreRecord Buffer, page 36 for more details.
