FS-100 Functions
46 FS-100 Portable DTE Recorder
• USE EXT FS-100
Use this option when longer recording times are needed. USE
EXT FS-100 permits the connecting of two FS-100 together to
provide more disk storage for longer recording. One unit acts
as the master with the other as a slave: the master records to
itself until full and then continues recording on the slave unit.
Identifying Master/Slave Volumes During Record/Playback
When two FS-100s are in combined via USE EXT FS-100 and in either
Record or Playback mode, the volume on the Home screen will
display 1-xxx when the master unit is recording or playing back and 2-
xx if it is the slave.
