Replacing Batteries

When appears on the display, replace the batteries as
soon as possible. Size-AAA alkaline batteries are
recommended. When the batteries are depleted,
appears on the display, and the recorder shuts off.
It is recommended to set the HOLD switch to the HOLD position before you replace
batteries to maintain the current settings (time/date, etc.). For your convenience,the
recorder also logs the current settings in nonvolatile memory at hourly intervals.
Setting Time/Date
If you have set the time and date, information as to when a sound file was recorded
is stored automatically with that file. The time and date should be set to ease sound
file management tasks.
The setting of the time and date is necessary for the management of the files in
folder S (see “Notes on the Folders” for details), for the alarm playback function,
and for the schedule alarm playback function.
When you install batteries for the first time or each time you replace the batteries,
the hour indication will flash. In such a case, be sure to set the time and date by
following steps 4 through 6 described below.
1Press and hold the MENU/FOLDER button for
1 second or longer.
2Press the 9/+ or 0/– button to select the Time/
Date Setup screen.

4Press the 9/+ or 0/– button to set the hour.
5Press the PLAY button to accept the hour.
The minute indicator flashes.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 to continue to set the minute, year, month and date in
the same way.
6After setting the date, press the STOP button.
This completes the time/date setup procedure.

Notes on the Folders
The recorder has three folders: A, B, and S.
• Folders A and B
Each recorded message stored in a folder is saved as a Wave file. These folders
can be selectively used to distinguish the kind of recording. Up to 100 files can be
stored per folder.
• Folder S
In folder S, files are nested in date subfolders,* making it useful for storing a
certain day’s schedule for future reference. Up to 15 files can be stored in a single
date subfolder, and up to 100 files altogether can be recorded in folder S.
*There is one subfolder for each day of the year.
