If the ERASE button is not pressed within the 8 seconds after “CLEAR” starts flashing, the recorder will revert to stop status.

Hold

Setting the HOLD switch to the HOLD position.

If you set the recorder to HOLD position by sliding the HOLD switch in the direction of the arrow, the current conditions will be preserved, and all buttons and switches except the HOLD switch will be disabled. This feature is useful when the recorder has to be carried a bag or a pocket because files won't be erased if the ERASE button is pressed by accident.

Remember to reset the HOLD switch when using the recorder.

Notes

• The recorder functions as follows with the HOLD switch set to the HOLD position:

– If the recorder is stopped, the display goes dark.

– If the recorder is playing, the display goes dark when playback of the current file has completed.

–If the recorder is recording, the display goes dark when the recorder stops recording automatically upon running out of free memory.

•When the display is dark because the HOLD switch is set to the HOLD position,

you can make the clock flash for 2 seconds by pressing any button.

• When you set the HOLD switch to the HOLD position while playing back, you can still adjust the volume using the VOLUME control.

• The alarm will sound at the scheduled time even if the recorder is set to HOLD. The recorder will then begin to play the file associated with the alarm once you press the STOP button.
