Asked 7 years ago by Steve.

Q: QuestionHow do you connect to a laptop?

Asked 8 years ago by Erm.

• A:Answer First of all, this is a truly amazing recorder. To connect to a laptop for charging and for transferring recorded data whether voice recordings or music, there is a built in USB plug that slides out from the bottom of the unit. You don't need any wires, it is self contained in this unit. Just plug in to transfer data back and forth (unit-laptop-unit) and just plug in to charge the unit for hours of recording. Of course you plug it into your USB port of your laptop! A little too easy huh? All your recordings are also nicely organized onto your laptop with the included software. Done so by: File, Date, Name, etc.
