Sorry Ibrahim, but this is not the case. Just tried and the pen won't start recording until it comes into contact with a label.

Hi Barry. I haven't got my pen friend as yet, but I understand there is a record button on the device. If your not using a label, I think you press the record button, the device bleeps and then you record your message, pressing the record button again when your done. I'm assuming that's how it works but don't quote me. I'll be able to give you a definitive answer when I have my unit in front of me. All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: Barry G To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, August 01, 2009 9:17 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: First impression of penfriend... How do you do that then, I didn't see it in any of the documentation!

Hi Barbra. There is no need to use a label in such a fashion, the PenFriend has a voice recorder capability. All the best, Ibrahim. ----- Original Message ----- From: Barbara Wilson To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, August 01, 2009 7:20 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: First impression of penfriend... I thought of sticking one to the house phone or on the front of the notepad beside the phone. So when on the phone and you want to take a short message such as an address, telephone number, order number etc, rather than typing on PC or mobile, just use the pen. This label could be left and simply re-recorded each time after the last message has been moved somewhere more permanent.

The ones I bought were in Smiths, they come in packs of six at just over £1 per pack. They have things like, fax, urgent, filing written on them but I have since had another idea and have sent my daughter off to Smiths to buy some of those plastic binding strips you use for binding A4 sheets for essays etc. My plan is to cut them into lengths of 1-1.5 inches and put the small labels on those. This should do for slipping onto an edge of packaging but will also do for the label that is sewn into ties. I suspect they could be clipped around the wire that runs up to the hook on coat hangers or over an elastic band round a plastic bottle in the fridge either. Part 2, after a quick trip to Staples myself - not Smiths this time! They sell some quite strong magnets about the size of the large round labels that will be ideal for cans etc. They are about£2.40 for 12. I also bought 50 plastic key tags for around £2 that will take the small labels nicely. They can be put on an elastic band to pop round bottles etc. All the best, Barry G ----- Original Message ----- From: Henry Miller To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, August 01, 2009 4:12 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: First impression of penfriend... Hi Barry Where can I purchase the bull dog clips with pads? You have some great ideas for the pen friend. best wishes Henry __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4296 (20090801) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4296 (20090801) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4297 (20090801) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com
