RECORDING
There are two ways to make recordings:
Manual Recordings — Press REC button while in a mode like AM or FM. If you are in the Menu or
File screen, and you press REC, it will record from internal mic or external line-in mic. For
more on Manual Recordings, Timed Recordings are made with timers and scheduled for specific times
on a day, week or date. For more information on setting and using Timers To stop a recording, you
must wait until you have recorded for five seconds then press the REC (1) or MENU (10) button. To
create a new recording track while recording, press the UP Button ▲(2) . To pause or unpause a
recording, press the PLAY Button ►∥(6) . When the recording is completed, it will be stored in
“Files” in the “AM”, “FM”, “Timers”, “Mic”, or “Line” folder.
Note: The save location for a recorded file depends on what source you were recording from.
TRANSFERRING FILES TO AND FROM A COMPUTER
Using a PC:
1. Connect the CC Witness to a PC using the supplied USB cable at the 24-Pin USB Connection (20).
2. Click on the ‘My Computer’ icon on the PC. Look for a removable disk icon, usually displayed
as Drive E or F.
3. Double click on the disk icon belonging to it.
4. Files from the PC can now be downloaded onto it via dragging and dropping, copying and pasting,
etc. Likewise, files can be uploaded to the PC from the CC Witness using these methods.
Using a Mac:
1. See PC instructions for item 1.
2. The CC Witness will be displayed on the Mac desktop as an external drive icon. Proceed with
Items 3 and 4 from PC instructions.
Note 1: If transferring files to the CC Witness, we recommend
storing them to the “Computer” folder on it for organizational purposes.
Note 2: You can also transfer files from the internal memory of the CC Witness to an SD card.
DISCONNECTING THE CC WITNESS FROM A COMPUTER
Before unplugging it, it is necessary to deactivate the link between them. While de-activated, it
will continue to charge and can be used normally to play or record. You will not be able to
transfer files while it is de-activated unless the USB cable is removed and re-inserted.
De-activate from a PC: Left click the
“Safely Remove Hardware” icon that
is found in the bottom-right toolbar. Click
“Safely Remove USB Mass Storage Device — Drives”.
De-activate from a Mac:
Drag the external drive icons that were added
when you connected your CC Witness to the trash
can (usually found in the Dock). Another method
is to Control-Click and select “Eject”
from the drop-down menu.
