The Input Gain switch (21) is also used to get a maximum signal
level. The switch changes the overall level of an incoming signal
between 3 padded levels: –20 dB [-], 0 dB [o] and +10 dB [+]. If
a signal is too low, try to raise it by switching from [-] to [o] or [o]
to [+]. If a signal is too high, try to lower it by switching from [+] to [o] or [o]
to [-].

Recording a File
*Note: Due to limitations in the FAT file system, when a recording file exceeds 2
GB in length, it will continue recording as a separate file.

you are ready to record. In record mode, simply press the RECORD button to
start recording. A light will flash below the record button to indicate that the
unit is recording.
To pause a recording, press the RECORD button again.
To continue a recording, press the RECORD button once more.
To stop recording, and return to the previous menu, press the STOP/BACK
button (*Note: Files that were recorded by the iKEY M3 are named according
to the format of the file and are numbered according to the sequence in which
they were recorded. For instance, iKEY_001.MP3, iKEY_001.WAV, iKEY_002.
MP3, iKEY_002.WAV).
Transferring Files Between the RM3
and your Computer
Files recorded on the SD card can easily be transferred between the RM3 and
your computer using the included USB cable (24). First, ensure your unit is
powered off.
Connect the small end of the USB cable to the USB TO PC (23)
slot on the RM3 unit, and connect the other end to the USB port
on the back of your computer.
*Note: For best results, connect the USB cable to the back of your computer
and do not use a hub.
