Clock Set Menu
The FlashMic contains a real-time calendar/clock, which allows a date and time ‘stamp’ to
be embedded in the audio file headers. This is a great aid to later accurate identification of
what may be many similar-sounding recordings made in the field.
The clock runs continuously whilst batteries are fitted. It continues to run for approx. 
minute after the batteries are removed, allowing time for a change of batteries. If the
batteries are removed for a longer period, or before the FlashMic is used for the first time,
the clock will need to be set to the correct date and time of day.
Note that the FlashMic is perfectly usable without the clock being set accurately; the
only consequence is that the file date/time information will be incorrect (though intervals
between file creation times will be accurate).
To enter the Clock Set Menu, enter MENU mode by pressing the M/STOP button, and then
make SHORT DOWN TURNs of the jogswitch until the display shows
TIMDAT
.
After setting all the date and time parameters, the LCD display returns to the opening
TIMDAT
screen after briefly displaying OK; the menu system can then either be exited by
pressing M/STOP, or another menu option can be selected with the jogswitch.
Select this with a SHORT PRESS, and the display shows Y yyyy , where yyyy is the year.
This can be altered up or down with SHORT TURNs of the jogswitch. A SHORT PRESS
selects the setting, and the display will now show in turn
MON mm , where mm is the number
of the month of the year;
DAY dd
, where dd is the day of the month;
HH hh
, where
hh
is the
hour of the day (note that FlashMic uses a 4-hr. clock);
MM mm
for minutes, and
SEC ss
for seconds. Each of these can be altered in the same way as the year. The full sequence
is show below.
