Setting the HOLD switch to the HOLD position.

If you set the recorder to HOLD status 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 in a bag or pocket.

Remember to reset the HOLD switch when using the recorder.

•If the switch is moved to hold during playback (or recording), the playback (recording) status will stay and cannot be operated.
