Troubleshooting (Continued)

Messages are not sorted in order of the number of priority marks in a folder.

Unless you sort using the supplied “Memory Stick Voice Editor“ software, messages are sorted in the unit the same as the setting in the computer. Sort again in the order of the number of priority marks in the computer using the supplied “Memory Stick Voice Editor“ software.

The remaining time displayed in the display window is shorter than that displayed in the supplied “Memory Stick Voice Editor“ software.

The unit requires a certain amount of time for system operation. That time is subtracted from the remaining time, which is the reason for the difference.

The unit does not operate correctly.

Take out the batteries and insert them again.

“Memory Stick Voice Editor“ Software

“Memory Stick Voice Editor“ software cannot be installed.

The memory space on the computer is too small. Allocate a larger memory space.

Messages recorded using the IC recorder cannot be transferred to the computer.

•The “Memory Stick“ is not recognized. Quit the software and reinsert the “Memory Stick“, and then restart the software. The software can only recognize the “Memory Stick“ inserted before the startup.

•Check that the “Memory Stick“ adaptor is connected correctly. For more information, see the instruction manual of the adaptor.

Messages cannot be played back.

•No sound board is installed (page 40). •No speaker is built-in or connected to the

computer.

Playback sound is interrupted.

When you choose the floppy disk drive, playback sound is sometimes interrupted.

Saved ICS files cannot be played back.

The software does not support playback of ICS files. Install the ICS player or “ICD- PCLINK“ software.

Saved WAV files cannot be played back.

The software does not support play back of WAV files. Install the software which supports playback of WAV files (for example, Microsoft Sound Recorder).

Playback sound volume is too low.

•Turn up the volume on the computer. (Refer to the instruction manual of the computer.)

•The volume of WAV files can be changed and saved using the “Increase Volume” feature of the Microsoft Sound Recorder.
