Record Screen
The Record Screen is primarily used for recording, but can also be used
for playback, and viewing / editing the file name, programmable fields,
and text notes. The Filename can be configured from a Template under
Options, Preferences, Record / Memo. The file may be renamed before
or after recording by using the Rename feature in the menu. Tapping the
Alarm Icon opens the Alarm Setup Screen. Before starting to record, be
sure to define an Author Name on the Preferences screen. The Author
Name must match the Author Name in the LAM application. The three
fields under Author are Programmable and can be used for a variety of
things. See Programmable Info under Options. A Work Type and Priority
may be set. The Audio Type may be changed from the default setting
(The Default Setting is found under Options, Preferences, Record /
Memo tabs). A text note may be viewed or edited by tapping the Note
Icon. All information entered in these fields is included in the associated
AWI file and is available for subsequent processing.

is different from the Home Mode where there is no open file. It is only pertinent when in the Record or

It is usually easier to set and delete bookmarks from the Playback Screen (accessed by pressing play
from the home screen).

Record Screen), and Notepad (there is also a Notepad Icon on the screen). Remember, most buttons
