Recording

By default, the recorder has five folders, A, B, C, D and E. These five folders can be selectively used to distinguish the kind of recording; for example, Folder A might be used to store private information, while Folder B might be dedicated to holding business information. You can use your DSS player to change a folder name (P.64). Up to 199 messages can be recorded per folder.

All recordings made in any of the folders will be in Digital Speech Standard (DSS) format. By default, the RECORD function is configured to record at the current position (overwrite). However, that can be changed to any of the following settings:

Append: Appends the recording to the end of the current file.

Insert: Inserts the recording at the current position in the file.

Overwrite: Overwrites the recording starting at the current position in the file.
