How to reactivate the record level indicator on my pocket memo digital dictation recorder (DPM)?

To begin the process of configuring your digital dictation recorder, first, launch the SpeechExec application on your computer. This software is essential for managing and customizing your dictation settings effectively.

Next, connect your pocket memo digital dictation recorder (DPM) to your PC. This step is crucial as it establishes a direct link between the recorder and the software, allowing for seamless data transfer and configuration adjustments.

Once your DPM is connected, navigate within SpeechExec to the section labeled "General Settings." From there, proceed to "DPM/DT Configuration," and then select "DPM Settings." This pathway will lead you to the specific configurations related to your digital dictation recorder.

In the DPM settings menu, look for the option labeled "Import/Export." This feature enables you to manage the settings of your DPM by either importing new configurations or exporting existing ones. In this case, you will be exporting your current DPM settings.

To export your settings, choose the appropriate option and save the exported file to your Desktop. This file will be in INI format and will contain a comprehensive list of all the settings from your pocket memo digital dictation recorder. It is important to note that this list includes settings that may not be directly editable within the SpeechExec interface, giving you a complete overview of your recorder's configurations.

After the export is complete, locate the INI file on your Desktop and open it using Notepad or any other text editor of your choice. This will allow you to view and modify the contents of the file.

Within the INI file, perform a search for the specific entry that corresponds to the record level indicator setting, which is denoted as "RecLevInd=". This particular setting is crucial as it determines whether the record level indicator is active or not. If the setting is currently set to "0," it indicates that the Record Level Indicator has been disabled.

To reactivate the record level indicator, change the value from "0" to "1." This simple modification will enable the feature, allowing you to monitor the recording levels effectively during your dictation sessions.

Once you have made this adjustment, ensure that you save the changes you have made to the INI file. It is important to preserve your modifications so that they can be uploaded back to the DPM.

Returning to the SpeechExec application, utilize the Import function to upload the modified INI file back onto your digital dictation recorder. This step is essential as it transfers the new settings you have configured back to the device.

Finally, confirm the changes by clicking on the "OK" button. After completing these steps, the record level indicator should now be visible once again during your recordings on the DPM, allowing for better control and monitoring of your audio input levels.
