Time Synchronization
There are two methods to synchronize the voice recorder’s time with your computer’s time.
Method 1: Synchronize Time Using the “syncen.exe” File
Please note: This method is only applicable to Windows computers. 6.1.1
Connect the voice recorder to your computer and access its USB disk. You’ll
find a “syncen.exe” file, as shown below.
Execute the syncen.exe file, and it will automatically update the time to your computer’s current system time, as shown below.
Upon completing the setup, newly generated files will have timestamps reflecting your current time (as shown below), and the recording files will be named based on the date and time.
Please copy the syncen.exe file to your computer. You can place it anywhere on your computer to prevent deletion from the device.
Method 2: Synchronize Time by Editing the MRECSET.txt File
Please note: This method is applicable for both MAC and Windows computers.
Connect the voice recorder to your computer and access its USB disk. You will find a MRECSET.txt file，as shown below.
Open the MRECSET.txt file and input the current date and time in the format: hour, minute, year, month, and day (e.g., 13:53 2023/11/02). Then save the file.
After this configuration, subsequent new recording files will be synchronized with your current time, and the recording files will be named based on the date and time, as shown below.
