Notes

To ensure recording from the beginning, start speaking after you see the red record/play indicator light on.

A beep will sound when remaining recording time reaches 60 seconds, 30 seconds, and 10 seconds while recording.

When remaining recording time is less than 60 seconds, the record/play indicator light starts flashing in red. When the recording time is decreasing to 30 or 10 seconds, the light flashes faster.

“Memory Full” or “Folder Full” will be displayed when the memory or folder capacity is full. Delete any unnecessary files before recording any further (P. 72).

If the REC button is pressed while the mode switch is set to MUSIC, “Music Mode” will flash on the screen. Set the mode switch to VOICE before recording (P. 14).
