To ensure successful recording, make a test recording to select appropriate microphone sensitivity before recording.

If you select [g], we recommend setting the recording mode to [HQ] to best take advantage of the higher sensitivity.

If you select [g], background noise may be high depending on the recording conditions.

Using the Variable Control

Voice Actuator [VCVA]

When the microphone senses that sound has reached a preset volume, the built-in Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) starts recording automatically, and stops it when the volume drops.

Particularly helpful for extended re cording, the VC VA not only conserves memory by turning off recording during silent periods, but also makes playback more efficient and convenient.

In Menu mode selection...[On], [OFF]

During recording, press the + and

buttons to adjust the VCVA level in 15 levels.

The record/play indicator light is lit during recording. When the recorder is in Standby mode, the Record/Play indicator light fl ashes and [VCVA] flashes on the display.

System Sounds [BEEP] (Fig. a)

Informs a button operation or a wrong operation of the recorder by sound. System sounds may be turned off.

In Menu mode selection...[On], [OFF]

If the alarm playback function has been set, the alarm will sound at the scheduled time even if the system sounds are disabled.

Alarm Playback Function [k]

You can use the alarm playback function to sound the alarm tone for 5 minutes at the scheduled time. Within this 5 minutes, pressing any button other than the HOLD switch starts the recorder to playback the preselected file.

In Menu mode selection...[SET], [On], [OFF]

After selecting [SET], press the PLAY ( `) button to set the time.

With the alarm playback function, only one file can be played back. Select a file for the function before setting the time.

1 Alarm indicator (Fig. s)

To cancel an alarm playback:

For [k] in the menu mode, select [OFF] and press the PLAY ( `) button.

Regardless of the selected folder, once the alarm playback is set, it operates every day unless the setting is canceled.

To view the current setting, select [On], and press the PLAY (`) button.

The alarm tone stops automatically if no button is pressed within 5 minutes after the alarm starts. The file is not played back in this case.

If the recorder has no recorded file in the selected folder, the alarm playback function is not available.

Alarm playback occurs every day unless it is set to [OFF].

Timer Recording [TIMER]

You can schedule for automatic recording, specifying the start time and end time of recording. When the timer-controlled recording completes, the setting is released.

In Menu mode selection...[SET], [On], [OFF] After selecting [SET], press the PLAY

(`) button to set the time. 1 Timer indicator (Fig. d)

To cancel the timer setting:

For the timer in the menu mode, select [OFF], and press the PLAY ( `) button.

To view the current setting, select [On], and press the PLAY ( ` ) button.

With this function, you can set only the start and the end time of recording. The current settings of the recording mode, microphone sensitivity, VCVA and folder are applied for the settings before you set timer-controlled recording.

The setting exceeding the remaining recording time is not allowed.

You can record at any time even if it is not within the specified recording duration. However, if that makes the remaining recording time insufficient for the timer-controlled recording, the recording will not complete.

If any operation is ongoing, the timer- controlled recording is overridden.
