This article explains how your Philips DVT1600 VoiceTracer audio recorder pen manages the internal storage of recordings and what you should do when the memory is full.
Memory full? No automatic deletion on the DVT1600 VoiceTracer
Question:
Does the DVT1600 VoiceTracer delete old recordings when the built-in memory reaches its limit?
Answer:
No, older recordings are not automatically deleted by the device.
The stored recordings remain fully intact. However, once the capacity limit is reached, no new voice recordings will be saved. Recording stops until you transfer the existing data to a computer, thereby actively freeing up storage space.
Storage management: The logic of folders A and B
The DVT1600 VoiceTracer audio recorder pen organizes internal storage as follows to secure the maximum number of recordings:
- First storage location: New recordings are initially saved in the folder
Record/A. - Volume limit: The folder
Record/Areaches its limit at 99 recordings, which corresponds to approximately 19.9 GB of storage capacity (21,410,275,984 bytes). - Second storage location: When the first limit is reached, the device automatically creates a second folder,
Record/B, where all further new recordings are saved.
Freeing up storage for further audio recording with the DVT1600
To ensure continuous recording of conversations and notes with your DVT1600 VoiceTracer audio recorder pen, you need to regularly transfer the recordings to an external storage device (such as your PC or Mac) and then delete them from the device.
Summary
- No data loss: The DVT1600 does not delete old recordings.
- Recording stop: It stops saving new files once the maximum capacity is reached.
- Required action: Connect the pen to a computer and transfer the recordings to free up storage
