informtion

Don’t make any adjustments and modications that

aren’t described in this manual. Follow all safety

instructions to ensure proper operation of the device. The

manufacturer assumes no liability for damages resulting

from non-compliance with the safety instructions.

Safety instructions

• Protect the device from rain and liquids to prevent

damage to the device or a short circuit.

• Don’t expose the device to excessive heat caused by

placing it on a heating device or in direct sunlight.

• Protect the cables from damage by being trapped,

particularly at the plugs and where cables exit the

housing.

• Back up your data and recordings. The manufacturer’s

warranty doesn’t cover loss of data resulting from user

actions.

• Don’t perform any maintenance operations that aren’t

described in this user manual. Don’t disassemble the

device into its component parts to carry out repairs.

The device may only be repaired in authorized service

centers.

Rechargeable built-in battery

• Don’t attempt to replace the battery yourself. The

battery may only be replaced in authorized service

centers.

• Before your battery is replaced by an authorized

service center, back up your data and recordings.

• Batteries contain substances that may pollute the

environment. Used batteries should be disposed of at

an ocial collection point.

Data reset

Philips SpeechAir has an internal memory with 1 GB

RAM and 16 GB built-in storage. If you want to perform a

factory data reset, observe the following cautions:

• Back up your data and recordings. Performing a

factory data reset will delete all data on your device.

• Formatting the memory on a computer may cause

incompatibilities with your device. Format the memory

only on the device.

Hearing protection

Observe the following guidelines when you use

headphones:

• Set the volume to a moderate level and don’t use

headphones to listen for excessively long periods of

time.

• Be particularly careful to avoid adjusting the volume to

a level that your hearing can’t deal with.

• Don’t turn the volume up so high that you can’t hear

what is going on around you.

• In potentially dangerous situations, be particularly

careful or temporarily discontinue use.

• Don’t use headphones while you are operating a

motorized vehicle, cycling, skateboarding, and so on.

You could be a hazard to yourself and other road

users, and possibly be breaking the law.

Medical device interference

SpeechAir contains components that emit

electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves might

interfere with the operation of a pacemaker. Keep a safe

distance of separation between SpeechAir and your

pacemaker.

Use in aircraft

Wireless transmitters can negatively aect the operation

of other electronic equipment, causing them to

malfunction. Turn o SpeechAir or use Airplane mode

when you travel in aircraft. In Airplane mode, SpeechAir’s

signal transmitting functions are turned o.

Legal restrictions on recording

• The use of the device’s recording function is subject to

the legal restrictions that may apply in your country.

You should also respect the privacy and personal

rights of third parties if you record talks or lectures.

• If you want to record telephone calls, check if this

may be legally required to inform the person you

are conversing with on the telephone that you are

recording the conversation.

Cleaning and disinfection

• Before cleaning, disconnect all cables from the device.

• To clean the device, use a soft dry cloth.

• To disinfect the device, use products for disinfection of

surfaces in clinical areas and patient care equipment,

sharp as this may scratch or damage the surface

permanently.

noise and high microphone sensitivity.

SpeechAir allows you to record high-quality single-

speaker dictations as well as multi-speaker dictations.

By default, the microphone directivity is set to 360°

in order to allow the best recording quality for single-

speaker as well as multi-speaker dictations.

We recommend using the directional microphone

for single-speaker dictations in noisy environments

and when you send dictations to speech recognition

software. For all other situations, we recommend using

the 360° microphone.

You can always change the microphone directivity

according to your own preferences.

To change the microphone settings:

1 Tap the Settings tab in the app.

2 Tap Audio settings.

3 Tap Mic in hand or Mic on desk, and select the

desired setting.

Audio format

Set the recording quality for your dictations and choose

between the audio formats WAV (PCM) and DS2 (DSS

Pro). DS2 is preset as the standard audio format, but you

can always change the audio format in Settings > Audio

settings > Audio format.

Function button assignment

Change the functionality of the right function button

on your device. Choose between End of letter, New

dictation, or Fast forward, or disable this feature. The

Note

• If your device has only 8% or less battery power left

neither be able to continue recording nor to start a

new recording unless you charge your device.

• While you are in recording mode, all options within

the Voice Recorder App, except for setting index

marks, are disabled for security reasons.
