The Panasonic RR-US360 digital voice recorder is a useful device for students and workers who need to record lectures or other meetings for later review. Setting up the Panasonic RR-US360 takes only a few minutes, after which the recorder is ready for use. From there you can record sound, play it back and later erase it to create room for additional recordings. You'll avoid problems operating the recorder by learning the instructions before your first use.
Instructions
Setup
1. Open the battery cover on the back of the Panasonic RR-US360 by sliding it downward and then lifting up. Insert two AAA batteries into the battery compartment. The positive end of the left battery faces the top of the recorder and the positive end of the right battery faces the bottom of the recorder. Close the battery cover after installing the batteries by pressing down and sliding it toward the top of the recorder until it clicks.
2. Press the "Hold" switch on the back of the player downward to unlock the device. When the "Hold" switch is in the up position, the buttons on the recorder are inoperable.
3. Set the date and time on the recorder. To set the date and time, press and hold the "Folder/Menu" button until "SEnSE" blinks on the screen. Press the ">>|" button until "Year" appears on the screen and then press ">." Use the "|<>|" buttons to set the year and then press the ">" button to advance to the month and day settings. Continue with this method to set the time display (12-hour or 24-hour clock) and the time. You will exit the date and time setting feature when you press ">" after setting the time.
Recording
