Rec Cancel

The Rec Cancel function allows a recording that is in progress to be started over in case there is a problem or the information recorded so far is not what was intended. Performing this function will result in all the information recorded up to that point in the track to be discarded.

After performing the function, the unit will re-start at the beginning of the current track and wait for recording to be started again.

The "can" message will flash as follows in the display.
