FAQs

How do I format the microSD card?

Insert the microSD card into the recorder. Navigate to the menu and find the 'Format' option. Select it, and confirm to format the card. Formatting the card will erase all data, so back it up if needed.

What kind of batteries does it use?

The H1e uses two AAA batteries.

How do I adjust the recording levels?

The H1e uses 32-bit float recording, which means you generally do not need to adjust the recording levels. The device captures a wide dynamic range, so you can adjust the volume in post-production if needed.

Can I use an external microphone?

Yes, you can connect an external microphone using the 3.5mm input jack.

What is the maximum recording time?

The maximum recording time depends on the capacity of your microSD card and the file format you are using.

How do I change the language?

Go to the menu settings, find the language option and choose your preferred language from the list of available languages (English, Spanish, French, Japanese, German, Italian, or Chinese).

What is the warranty?

Please refer to the product documentation or the manufacturer's website for warranty information.

Troubleshooting

Device won't turn on

Check the batteries and replace them if necessary. Ensure the battery compartment is properly closed.

No sound recording

Check microphone input and make sure the input level is not set too low. Ensure the microSD card is inserted correctly and has sufficient space.

Distorted sound

Check the recording levels. While 32-bit float recording helps prevent clipping, excessive input can still cause distortion. Reduce the input gain if necessary.

Files not transferring to the computer

Make sure the device is connected to the computer via USB. Check the USB cable and try a different USB port. The device may need to be powered on to transfer the files.
