Recorder 6 User Guide

 

This document is the main User Guide for Recorder 6, it is available to view online and also as a downloadable pdf file. It was originally written for use in the Falkland Islands and has been recently updated in April 2009 by Sally Rankin. It is also available on the installation DVD from version 6.14 onwards alongside the 'Getting Started Guide' which, although written for an earlier version of  Recorder, has still proved to be extremely useful as it contains video files with commentaries on how to accomplish various tasks within the Recorder interface.
