Well, the answer to that can depend on a couple of things. If you exited the menus as I instructed, and if you were already in a folder before you went into the menus, you will turn the recorder on and be in the same folder you were in before. Turning off the recorder automatically takes you out of the menu settings. However, depending upon whether you were in a folder before you went into the settings, will depend upon what happens when you turn the recorder on. When you turn the recorder on, tap the play button. If a recording does not play, or if the boys doesn’t say “file not found”, tap the play button again. Keep tapping the play button until you hear a recording you have made or you here “file not found”. That should put you inside of a folder, possibly in folder “a” if this doesn’t help, tell me what you hear or what happens and I will try again.
