To prevent the beginning of the recording being cut off, start recording after the LED indicator light has lit or mode indicator has appeared in the display.

When the remaining possible recording time is 60 seconds, the LED indicator light starts flashing. It flashes more rapidly as the remaining time decreases (at the 30- and 10-second points).

When [Folder full] appears, no more recording can be done. To record more, you will need to select a different folder or delete unneeded files (P.46).

If [Memory full] appears, the voice recorder has no more available memory space. You will need to delete unneeded files to record more (P.46).

or [microSD card]) has been selected (P.77).

If a folder other than folders & to * is selected when the REC (s) button is pressed, the blinking message [Cannot record in this folder] appears. Redo

the recording operation after selecting one of folders & to *.

It’s recommended to initialize the recording media before making an important recording.

Processing performance may be reduced when data has been repeatedly written to or deleted from the recording media. Please initialize the recording media in this case

(P.91).
