To record some more, tap REC or press Enter again. New sound is added to the end of the existing recording.

To start a new file, select the Create new file command from the File menu. Type in the name before you begin recording.

To save your file under a different name, tap the Save as button on the Toolbar or select the command from the File menu.

To replace the ending of an existing recording, use the pen to drag the bar to the point where you want to begin recording (or select the Go to time button or the command from the Play menu and specify a start point in minutes and seconds), then select the Record & replace command from the Record menu.

To erase the whole of the current recording, tap the Erase button on the Toolbar or select the Erase all command from the Record menu.

The maximum recording length depends on the amount of disk space available. While recording, a ‘Time remaining’ indicator shows how much more sound you could record if you wanted to use the available space. Record will not allow you to completely fill the disk, and will always leave 100K free so that you can use other programs.

Note: If an alarm is due to ring while you are recording or playing a sound, you may hear warning “ticks” and the alarm will be postponed until you finish the current action.

Playing sounds

To play back the entire sound file, tap the PLAY button, press the Spacebar, or select the command on the Play menu.

Note: The loudspeaker is located at the bottom of the machine, next to the backup battery door.

To play back only part of a sound, use the pen to drag the cursor to the point where you want to begin playing (or select the Go to time command from the Play menu and enter the start position in minutes and seconds), then press PLAY. Playback begins from the selected point. To pause playback, press PLAY again.

To adjust the volume, use the pen or the up and down arrow keys to move the volume fader to one of the volume settings, or set it to Min to turn off the sound completely.

To play back a sound recording several times in succession, tap the Repeat button or select the command from the Tools menu and set the number of occurrences as appropriate.
