I misplaced the USB cable. Can I use one from my GPS without destroying the recorder? It fits... Thanks.

If the cord fits and your computer recognizes the device when you plug it in, I don't see a problem.

If the computer shows that the recorder is connected when you check on Windows Explorer, there should be no problems.

i suggest purchasing a USB data cable cord that is for this unit from ebay they run around 5 to 7 dollars. simply search for "USB Data Cable/Cord For Olympus Voice Recorder LS-10 DS-30 DS-40 DS-2100 DS-2200" they all share the same one.

It fits into the gps port. I can't really recommend this item though. It arrived broken, the cable broke on the first day I used it, and now it won't recognize my batteries (nikon).

If you shop at Best Buy, go in with your recorder and tell them you think you need a micro SD memory card. Costco I think have these also. Both will work with you to make sure that the micro SD card will work. I have not needed one yet. Also the paper work tells you the correct one. Not sure were mine is but will look. Hope this helps.

No. The USB connector slides out from the body. I use a 3' USB extension cable to place the recorder out of the wY for charging and file transfer.

Not sure about your first question, since I always start manually. But regarding the second, is it possible you haven't "connected" the recorder-- that is, clicked on "USB" in the main menu of File Manager Software and then clicked on "Connect Recorder"?

Don't know for sure, but it may be possible to get a male-male cable that you could use to go from the earphone output on the recorder to the microphone input on your laptop.

I'm not sure if it will fit your device..it has what is called an MCX connector on it, the type used by most GPS units. You can search online for the picture and dimension of the connector to make sure it fits. Hope this helps.

I had this same idea myself. Could be, but you would need the correct USB cable. I don't see why not.

Your computer O/S will recognize that the USB cord has been plugged in, so very probable the driver is for the Garmin. Sorry can't be positive. I purchased this not as a data cable but to enable me to use a 12 v plug for power on a boat. The Garmin chartplotting GPS eats AA's.

I just got one and connected to my laptop with the USB cable that I already had. I was able to see the recorded files as .wav and was able to copy it without any problems to my laptop hard drive.

Yes you can. Get one that has an audio plug that matches the audio out jack on the recorder.

This question is kind of vague... what is your adapter for? If it works between the phone and the recorder (in lieu of or performing as an external mic), then why wouldnt you be able to record a phone conversation with this?

This data cable had a connection that didn't match the Garmin Etrex unit I had (I was borrowing it) so it was useless to me. No worries about the wasted expense - I just returned to unit to the person I borrowed it from and am now going to rent a better Garmin with updated USB ports on each end.

Not sure if that's a question or statement... Anyway, two things I've noticed using this device for a long time now. You must use the USB cable that came with it (or one IDENTICAL to it). I've used cables that fit and get terrible results. Second, check that your microphone cable and microphone are in working order. Hope this helps.

According to the Garmin website this cable works for your gps. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/on-the-road/discontinued/nuvi-255/prod13428.html

Look for your lost cap. I don't think you can find one that will fit.It will last for many, many years without the cap.USB connectors are very forgiving.
