A sighted friend had it set for me within minutes, after I had spent two painstaking hours trying to figure out where I was within the time/date parameters and following the manual's instructions to the letter. You're okay until you get to the system menu and hit the center button for the clock--then the functions only beep--no verbal indicator of where you are.

The DM4 and DM5 are referred to as the "recorder" hereinafter in this manual. Please note that only the main features and usage of this recorder are explained and that not all contents of the supplied detailed instruction manual are covered in this "Instruction Manual." Before actual use of this recorder, please refer to the supplied detailed instruction manual for more information. The contents of this "Instruction Manual" are as of November 2010.3.3?@Setting the Time and Date When you use this recorder for the first time after purchasing, or when you turn it on after having the battery pack removed for more than fifteen minutes when exchanging batteries, "Please set the Time and Date" may be announced. For setting the time and date, use the Up, Down, Left, and Right buttons then the OK button for registering. The voice control function can be used with this setting. While holding the Voice button pressed, slowly speak the year, month, day, hour, then minute into the built-in stereo microphones. After your voice is recognized, time and date will be automatically set. To register the setting and start the clock, press the OK button. 3.4?@Voice Guidance Setting After the time and date are set, "Please select Off?C if you don't need voice guidance" will be announced, and "Voice guidance setting" mode will be entered. Each time the Up or Down button is pressed, whether the currently selected options are "On" or "Off" will be announced. To set the Voice guidance setting to On, select "On" then press the OK button. Explanations in this manual are based on the premise that the "Voice guidance setting" is set to "On." This completes setup. Now the recorder is ready to operate. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [real-eyes] setting time & date on Olympus Dm4 Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2011 19:25:43 -0500 From: Kimberly Morrow, Ph.D. <morrowmediakc@xxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: <real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> understand the majority of the functions; however, I don't understand how to set the time and date. I go into the system menu, arrow down to set time and date, hit select, and then it tells me to hit the button in the center to start the clock (did that), and then it says to adjust time and date by tapping the plus and minus keys. It doesn't appear to speak the time and date as it adjusts, and the right and left arrow keys on the square at the bottom don't appear to be the plus and minus keys to which the system menu's voice guidance refers.
