How to turn ON/OFF

Slide the REC button to ON (e) direction and the device will start recording. The light indicator will switch from RED to BLUE to confirm the device is functioning properly.
Stop Voice Recording
Slide the REC button to OFF (opposite direction from ON) and the device

Setting up device
The TileRec allows you to set up time and date stamp for your recordings
and also, to set up the recording mode you need to use – continuous recording
or voice-activated recording.
Please follow the steps below to set the time stamp and the recording mode.
- Connect the recorder to a PC, via the USB cable provided in the box and access the folder RECORD in the partition of the device.
- In the folder RECORD create a TEXT document with the name time.txt.
- for Windows PCs you can right-click in the folder RECORD and select NEW -2: Text Document. Or go to Start menu and open Notepad, create the text file and then save it to the folder RECORD.
- for Mac you can either install notepad or go to Mac editor and select the plain text format for your document in order to save a .txt file.
The first line should reflect the current date and time with the format: , as follows:
yyyy – four digits format for year (ex. 2019), mm – is 2 digits month (ex. for May is 05), dd – 2 digits day (ex. if today is in 3rd – you must put 03). hh – means 2 digit hour format (24 hours format, not AM or PM)- ex. for 5 PM you must use the digits 17, for 6 AM is 06, etc.; mm – is 2 digit format for minutes and ss – is 2 digit format for seconds.
If today would be the 1st of October 2019, at 11 :30 AM, here is what you should input in the time.txt file: 20191001113050 (no spaces in front or after these digits). The second line reflects the recording mode set up for your device. To set the device to voice-activated recording please use 1. To set the device to continuous recording mode, please use 0. To resume:
Voice activated recording mode= 1 Continuous recording mode= 0
The third line is to set the LED light indicator mode. Setting the mode to 1 means that the blue LED indicator will keep flashing during recording period to signal the device is working. Setting the value to O will mean that the LED indicator will not flash at all during recording time.
Understanding LED indicator signals
- Blue LED indicator
- Flashes 10 seconds before turning off to signal voice-activated recording mode.
- Keeps bright for 10 seconds before turning off to signal continuous recording mode.
- Green LED indicator
If the disk space is full, the green indicator will flash fast for 10 seconds before the device turns off automatically. To resume recording, please make sure you free up some space on the recorder’s drive. We recommend deleting any old/unnecessary files or move them to another folder in your computer.
How to connect the device to PC
Slide the power button to OFF position to make sure your device is turned off before connecting it to the PC.
Use the USS cable provided in the box to connect the recorder to your computer. If you need to connect the recorder to an Android phone with USS-C, please use an OTG connector. You will then have access to the folder RECORD where all your audio files are saved.
Charging the recorder
If the Red-light indicator keeps flashing during recording, it means that
the battery of the device is running out and you should recharge it. Please
use the USS cord to connect the recorder to a power source (PC port or wall
charger).
Playback recordings
Slide the power button to OFF to make sure the device is turned off and recordings are properly saved. Connect the recorder to your PC or Android phone via the USB cable. Once you’ve plugged it in, open “My PC” (for Windows computers) or Finder (for MAC), and double click on the new drive that appears in your system. Access the folder RECORD where all your audio files are saved and select the one you need to listen to. You can playback the files in your preferred media player.
IMPORTANT! To protect your recorder’s functionality, please make sure you always use the “Safely Remove Hardware” (in Windows) or “Eject” (in macOS) when disconnecting the recorder from your computer.
Troubleshooting
If you believe your recorder isn’t working, don’t give up just yet and assume that it is defective.
- If you connect the device to your computer and cannot see the partition, please check if the recorder is turned off.
- If the device does not charge, please try to use an alternate USB cable (that also allows data transfer) to connect a power source. Sometimes, even if the USB cable is working, the computer might enter standby and prevent power flow to the recorder. Please make sure that your computer is active and the USB port allows charging.
- If your recorder does not seem to record and the green light is blinking fast, then the disk space of your device is full and does not allow more data. Please delete unnecessary files to free up space and resume recording.
- If the device seems unresponsive during operation, please use a pin or a needle to press the reset button for 10 seconds. This should restore your recorder’s operation to normal.
