Hi Mike,

Yes they are a bit stupid and no you can't set the clock easily unassisted.

All the best

Subject: [access-uk] Olympus DM5 Help

Hello,

I just bought an Olympus DM5 digital voice recorder from Amazon, used.

It's a great little unit but...I'm trying to set the date and time, and
at no time does it speak anything, either month, day, hour, minute or
anything.  I know the clock is wrong because when I record anything it
is given a date and time which is completely wrong.

Either I am doing something completely wrong, or Olympus are the
stupidest bunch of people on the planet.  Why would they produce a
device like this with voice-guidance throughout except when setting date
and time?

Any help would be appreciated.  I would love to be proven wrong and told
I am being a wally.  But unless I can set the time and date without
sighted assistance it is going back.

Mike
