 CHANGE THE SETTINGS - VOICE ACTIVATED RECORDING (VOR)

This audio recorder gives you the option of recording normally (i.e., recording non-stop even if there is no sound) OR recording with voice-activated recording (VOR) mode (i.e., only recording when sound is heard and not recording when there is silence). The default recording mode is VOICE ACTIVATED RECORDING.

Step 1: Open the “SETTINGS” text document.

Note:
You will see the following text: “VOR:1 //Voice activated recording setting: 0 for OFF, 1 for ON”.

Step 2: To turn ON VOR, change the number after the colon (:) to 1.

Step 3: To turn OFF VOR, change the number after the colon (:) to 0.

Step 4: Select File, Save.

CRITICAL NOTE: Recordings made with VOR will be saved with “V” at the beginning of the file name. Recordings made with normal recording will be saved with “R” at the beginning of the file name. See the below pictured example.

CRITICAL NOTE 2: When using VOR, the recorder will automatically stop recording when the detected decibel level falls below the preset sensitivity level. It will start recording again when sounds are detected.

CHARGING, BATTERY, AND STORAGE

Charging: For the longest battery life, it is recommended to charge by connecting the included charging cable to a computer port or any low output power adapter which only outputs >=500mA. The audio recorder may also be charged with a standard >=1000mA cell phone power adapter. However, using a computer port or >=500mA adapter may result in a relatively longer battery life over time.

Battery: The KT1000 KNIGHT audio recorder contains a 440 mAh battery which allows it to record non-stop for about 3 full days before turning off and needing to be re-charged. After the device runs out of battery, it will save the last recording automatically and you can find it in your “RECORDED” folder. The battery’s charging time is about 2-3 hours until fully charged.

Storage: The KNIGHT KT1000 contains a massive, built-in 64GB storage capacity which equates to around 800 hours (about 33 full days!) of total recording time. If the storage capacity ever becomes completely full, the device can no longer record and you will need to delete some recording files in order to create some more storage space (which will then enable recording again).

TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING

  • The recorder has a BUILT-IN MAGNET for easy mounting to metal surfaces (i.e., under desks, tables, cabinets, furniture, appliances, etc.).
  • This recording device is very sensitive. Avoid placing it on surfaces that vibrate to reduce static and fuzz in the recordings.
  • Contact with the recorder during recording may cause static or noises over the recording.
  • For the cleanest and clearest recording, it is recommended to have the holes uncovered and in a stationary location (i.e., peaking out of a pocket, inside a purse yet not completely covered, etc.).
  • In the event of receiving the below pictured pop-up, please select “Continue without scanning.”

USE AS AN MP3 PLAYER

This KT1000 audio recorder may also be used as an MP3 player. You may copy both .WAV and .MP3 files (i.e., your favorite music) both from the recorder to your computer and from your computer to the recorder.

Step 1: Please copy files into the “RECORDED” folder in order to listen to them with headphones.

Note:
Whichever files are located in the “RECORDED” folder are available for playback on your KNIGHT KT1000.

Note 2:
The RED and BLUE lights will flash when transferring data between your computer and the recorder.

Step 2: Plug in your headphones and listen.

RESET

If the recording device freezes or does not perform as expected you can reset the device.

Step 1: Turn the switch to the ON position.

Step 2: Use a paperclip, toothpick or pin to push the reset button inside the hole on the far left labeled “RESET”.

CRITICAL NOTE: Please be sure to not stick a pin into the LED indicator light.

Step 3: The device will restart.
