Field Memory Recorder (Chapter 7: Exporting audio files to a PC)
Connecting the FR-2 to a PC
1) Turn on the power of both the PC and FR-2.
2) Press the [ENTER] key of the FR-2 to enter the MENU mode.
The display shows the first layer of the MENU mode screen.
3) Use the [MENU] dial to select "USB Mode" at the bottom and press the [ENTER] key.
The display now shows the USB Mode screen.
You can transfer audio data while this screen is shown.
<Note>:
While the FR-2 is in the USB mode, all controls (keys, switches, etc.) on the FR-2
panel except the [ENTER] key are disabled.
4) Use a USB cable to connect the FR-2 to the PC.
5) By opening "My computer" on the PC, a drive named "Removable disk" is added to the PC.
The first time you connect the FR-2 to the PC, the disk driver is installed.
6) Open the removable disk drive newly added and select a desired audio file in the
appropriate folder, and then copy it to the PC.
When opening the removable disk drive newly added, all audio files stored to the memory card
in the current drive is shown.
While transferring file data from the FR-2 to the PC, the [ACCESS] indicator on the FR-2 panel
lights (or flashes). When completing data transfer, the [ACCESS] indicator turns off.
<Note>:
When file data is copied from the folder, the original file on the memory card
remains. When file data is "moved" to a folder, the original file disappears from the card.
7) After transferring the file data, remove the USB cable from the PC.
<Note>:
To disconnect the FR-2 from the PC after exporting the file data, make sure that the
[ACCESS] indicator is unlit, and follow the instructions of the Windows "Safely Remove Hard-
ware" application.
8) Press the [HOME] key to exit the MENU mode.
