6.1 How to Record from the Radio
Recording Screen
To record from the radio, you will use the Instant-Record function. When you hear a song that you want
to record, you don’t want to have to fiddle with the recording level, bit rate, or other parameters. Thus, the
Ondio will use the preset parameters to record with (you can change these in the Record Settings
Submenu).
While listening to the radio, you will double-click on the power button . This will make the Ondio go
instantly to the RECORD mode and start recording. The file name will be pre-determined as Radio_xx
where xx is the next consecutive number of the radio recordings. The recording gain level will be preset
according to the default value in the recording settings submenu. If you would like to pause the recording,
click once on the Power button. The top right of the screen will display Pause. If you would like to
recommence your recording, click once again on the power button. The mode indicator will then display
Record once more. When you want to stop your recording, double-click once more. You will then return
to the regular FM Radio mode that you were in.
ATTENTION: In order to avoid any radio frequency interference, the Ondio purposely does not display
the elapsed time nor the recording levels while the recording is being made. You can be assured however
that it is recording via the Record indicated on the display.
