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.
