Suitable as replacement for analog voice recorders

The device comes in attractive packaging with a thick instruction manual, but contains only 8 pages in German. Considering the usual warnings and technical data from remain just under 6 pages whose reading is worthwhile if you want to master all the functions. However, the basic operation largely corresponds to an analog dictation and should therefore familiar dictator not overwhelm, especially as the symbols used that era are still valid today.

So you can start the same, because the default settings should be suitable for the average user. Only the date and time should be set. It is then recorded in the HQ mode, and the first of the four possible storage folder is selected. In this mode, the voice quality is very good and the recording time is according to instructions ca.78 hours, which slightly exceeds the battery life of a good 68 hours. Several battery charges requires you to speak the recorder in the modes of lower quality fully, here is space for up to 1151 hours recording, which is more than 1.5 months. The maximum length of a recording appears to be unlimited, but the number is limited to 200.

Praiseworthy is also adjustable in its sensitivity VCVA recording. Here, the recording switches off when a certain volume level is exceeded, and then on again when this is exceeded. This saves additional space for long shots. However, then missing from and to the first word, a brief introductory hawking is so attached.

Very disturbed me, as well as most other testers, the lack of a USB port. The archiving of records is thus impossible that the use range of the device being too limiting.

Moreover, does not appear in the display of the records whose time, which would be very useful in many everyday shooting. For the record, however, one must first select and then press the DISP. A two-line automatic display would be better.

Overall, a suitable especially for not so enthusiastic computer user equipment who want to do without mobile phone or equivalent.
