One long press switches on the InstantVoiceMemo (LED lights red and after some secounds green); another brief press starts recording (LED flashing green), which continues until the push button is briefly pressed again.
The InstantVoiceMemo switches itself off after approx. 30 seconds of inactivity.
If you want to play the recordings, extend the USB connection and connect the InstantVoiceMemo into the computer's USB port. The recorded sequences are shown when the integrated program "VoiceMemoPlayer" (you can play a test recording in the sample shown below) is started. In the opened window you can select and process the individual recordings (listen, email, save etc.).
