We have fitted this equipment with a standard mains plug.
⢠If the mains lead gets damaged it must be replaced by a qualified service agent with an approved lead
of the same type and rating to avoid an electrical hazard.
⢠If you cut off the mains plug, for example to fit a different type, please destroy the old plug, as it would
be dangerous if inserted into a live power outlet. Carefully follow the wiring instructions supplied with
the new plug.
⢠If a fuse is fitted to the plug, remove the fuse before throwing the plug away.
⢠Carefully follow the wiring instructions supplied with a new mains plug.
⢠Never use a fused mains plug without the fuse cover.

Read these instructions carefully before you try to use the equipment.
UK - 1
Protect the mains lead. You must ensure the mains lead cannot be walked on, crushed, chafed or cut.
Avoid harsh conditions such as wet or damp places, high humidity, strong vibration, extremely high
or low temperatures, strong sunlight and places which are very dusty.
Never push objects into holes and ventilation slots.
To save power,switch off mains power or pull out the mains power plug when you are not using the
equipment, unless the function of the equipment requires a continuous power supply.
Don't continue to use this equipment if you have spilt liquids in it, if it is damaged in any way or if it does
not work normally. Immediately unplug the equipment and get expert advice.
Pull the mains plug out of the wall socket during thunderstorms.
This product is designed for domestic use only. Any other use may invalidate the guarantee and
might be dangerous.
Ventilation
Place the equipment on a hard flat surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources. If it is in a cabinet,
allow at least a 10cm gap all around. Don't obstruct the ventilation slots, including those underneath,
with soft furnishings. Overheating will shorten the life of the equipment and increase the risk of fire.
Cleaning
Disconnect the mains supply and use only a lightly dampened soft cloth. Do not use chemical solvents or
strong detergents as these may damage the cosmetic finish.

each side of the record "in one piece" first and then splitting it into separate
tracks.
1. Click on the "Fit project in window" tool. The
whole recording is now shown in the editing
window.
If there are still unwanted gaps before, in or after your recording you should
remove them before splitting the recording.

analysed.
A label track will appear underneath the recording
containing markers (vertical lines) representing the
beginning of each recognised new track.
If the "Silence Finder" inserts too few, too many or wrong markers, you
can undo the operation and repeat using a different setting. Select "Undo
Silence Finder" in the "Edit" menu and repeat steps 1 and 2 with different
values in the "Silence Finder..." window. If you cannot obtain good results,
split your recording into tracks manually, as described under "Manually
splitting your recording".
3. Enter the name of the track in the text field next
to the markers. This entry will later be used as
the file name.

UK - 16
Manually splitting your recording
1. Click on the "Skip to Start" button.
2. Select "Add Label at Selection" in the "Project"
menu to determine the starting point of the first
track.
3. Position the cursor at a point between the first and second track where there
is no visible waveform.
4. Right click on this point. A vertical line appears.
5. Select "Add Label at Selection" in the "Project" menu to determine the
starting point of the second track.
6. Repeat steps 3,4 and 5 until the starting points have been determined for all
of the tracks.
7. Enter the names of the tracks in the text fields
next to the markers. These entries will later be
used as file names.
8. Select "Save Project" in the "File" menu. The project file is stored.
UK - 17
Exporting tracks
Audacity can export the files in different formats, e.g. as a WAV, OGG or
MP3 file.
WAV is a standard Windows format played by the Windows Media Player
and many MP3 players. WAV files are needed to create audio CDs. The
music quality is very good, but the files do become very big.
OGG and MP3 are compressed and so they use less memory.
Compression may detract from the sound quality.
To export MP3 files you need a separately available encoder
(see "Exporting as an MP3 file").
Exporting as WAV files
As soon as you have split your recording into tracks (and named them) you can
export the tracks as separate files.
1. Select "Export Multiple...â in the "File" menu. The âExport Multipleâ window
appears.
2. Select the following options in the âExport Multiple" window:
"Export format": "WAV",
"Export location":
the storage location for your file, e.g. a folder with the title of the converted
record,
"Split files based on" :
"Labels", to import your split tracks,
"Name files":
UK - 18
"Using Label/Track Name" to import the names you gave them as file names.
3. Click on "Export". The files are created and stored in the selected directory.
Exporting as an MP3 file
If you wish to export your recordings as MP3 files you will need a separately
available MP3 encoder. Audacity uses the freely available LAME MP3 library. You
will find details on how to download the file and how to install it on the Internet
at http://audacity.sourceforge.net.
Burning WAV files to a CD / Copying MP3 files to your player
You will find details on burning an audio CD and copying files to an MP3 player in
the instructions accompanying your burn programme or your MP3 player.
