How do you set the time? Some here say you can! 8GB Digital Rechargeable USB Audio Voice Recorder Flash Drive

There is, unless you deleted it, a directory on the drive that contains an exe that you run, and that exe sets the time.

If you don't have that folder or it is deleted when you have to reformat, try going here: http://tinyurl.com/setudisktime - I had to use it and it worked quickly and easily to give the correct time and date of the recording.

There is a folder on the disk named SetUDiskTime. In that folder there is a program named SetUDiskTime(9X).exe. I double clicked on the prpgram but there was an error running it. However, I don't need to know the date/time that I create my audio files.

No you can't on the device-you plug it into your computer USB port and save it to a file, then you can use a media program that can play .WAV files and do the editing. You have to move it off the stick because it will fill up fast. Unfortunately mine broke within about 6 weeks. I carried it in my pocket and really didn't think that I handled it any different than my USB flash drives (which last a long time and can be recorded over again and again) but it's like the hard drive crashed. Also I found the switch that operates it hard to keep in place. I put a recording program on my iPhone that works much better. It was so inexpensive that I didn't even bother to get my money back or anything.

The mount *does* save the time (and date)! Sadly this feature (which they call RTC, short for "real time clock") is turned off by default. You just have to turn it on using the handbox: Menu -> Utilities -> Turn on/off RTC. Why they don't turn it on by default, I'll never know.

Just charge it, turn it on and it will record any time a sound is made. If no sound,it does not record. Playback on computer. It does not have to be plugged in to USB port to work.

Time and Date are set using the LCD screen and button controls of this camera. Fist, make sure that Date and Time display is enabled by pressing the round red button on the top of the unit to turn recording off (do this only is currently recording). Then press the Menu button. Then press the Down button three times until "Time Stamp" is selected. Press the round red button on the top of the unit to access a submenu, then press the Down button until "Date&Time" is selected. Then press the round Red button on the top of the unit. Then press the Menu button, and then press the Down button maybe seven times until "Date Input" is highlighted. Then press the round Red button on the top of the unit to access a submenu. Press the Down button to highlight "Set", then press the round Red button at the top of the unit. You will see that "YYYY / MM / DD" is highlighted. Press the round red button once to highlight the year on the next second line. Press the UP or DOWN buttons until the correct year is set. Then press the round Red button to select the month. Use UP or DOWN buttons again until the desired month is shown, and then the round Red button. Same for day of the month. The hour will be selected. Remember to use 24-hour time for the hour! Use UP and DOWN buttons to select 1-24 for the hour, then press the round Red button to select the minute. Continue with the UP, DOWN, and round Red button for minute and second until you are back at the menu screen. Press the Menu button again, and you can verify that the correct time is shown on the bottom right corner of the LCD display! If this is helpful, then please write a short two-word "Thank You" in reply. It took me a couple of hours of researching on the internet before I could put the pieces together to understand this procedure! Your reply will let me know if anyone reads these things!

Hi Stacy! You know or have read about determining your USB port is a 'good' one for the interactive compatiblity on an earlier post? Basically, in Windows, that popup that shows a new external (in our case) USB (as it is identified by Windows) flash drive or as I call'em, 'sticks', has been (successfully) plugged in and gives you a list of options. This is good as all things expected should go well; the green led lights up on the earbud and has an even pulse and if you put it close to your ear, no music can be heard. Provided the above is as I described, its pulsing will go on for about 20 to 30 minutes, depending upon how depleted the battery is. Once it is fully charged, the pulsing will stop and a steady/constant lighting of the earbud LED will signify charging is complete. Hope this helpful and you achieve a satisfactory result.

Thank you so much for the information about setting the date and time. I, up to this point, had not been able to find an answer to that question. Very much appreciated.

I have no idea, there should be on line instructions, each movement triggers a recording, which is stored in the unit and oldest is overwritten when recording new when the memory card is full

The instructions indicate you cannot. However, you could set up an external network server only to record at certain times. If you use the internal SD storage capability, this would appear not to be possible. Another possibility is to set a timer on the power supply to the camera. This would require that the camera reboot itself when power is restored. The problem with that is that there is no battery in the unit to restore the internal clock and calendar so you could lose the settings in this process.

First, point the arrow on the CENTER dial to the current time of day, then, starting W/ all the buttons on the outer ring in the "up" position, push DOWN on the buttons that correspond W/ the time(s) you want your device to operate. While this is possibly a bit more complicated than, say, in intermatic timer-W/ on/off clips, it saves the expense of buying the clips- @ ridiculous prices.

On the top of the unit there is a small inset button. While the unit is off use a toothpick or a pin to press the button down (you have to press kind of hard). It will turn on flashing with the year first push the memory button to set the year, then push button on top again to get to the month (it flashes in the upper left hand corner) again use the memory button to set the month. Repeat with date and time. Time flashes in right hand corner, press memory button until you reach desired time, it starts in the AM, keep pressing memory to switch to PM. Hope this helps.

Make sure your external USB drive is formatted for DOS. If you're using a Mac and the USB drive is format Mac OS Extended, the record function wont work.

On the back of the recorder is a slide button. When you slide that down, a USB connection emerges from the bottom of the recorder. Just plug that into the USB port of a computer, and the recorder will show up in your computer files as if it were a thumb drive. You can then access the files (they are listed by date if you have set the date/time on the recorder), and you can rename them, and drop and drag them (or just save them) to folders on the computer. It's really a neat feature of this recorder, and one of the reasons I bought it. It's worked great for me. David

I haven't figured that out yet. My problem is I haven't read the instructions. I like things that are fairly simple, turn on play or record. I will be taking the time on my time off this week to figure it out. Sorry I do not have an answer for you.V/RJackie

I haven't got that far yet. It was too complicated to understand how to get it to work.I went out and bought a flash drive recorder.
