Erasing messages one by one

When a message is erased, the remaining messages will advance and renumbered so that there will be no space between messages.

Dividing a Message

You can divide a message during recording or playback, so that the message is divided into two and the new message number is added to the divided message. By dividing a message, you can easily find the point you want to play back when you make a long recording such as a meeting.

You can divide messages until the total number of messages in the folder becomes 99.

While recording or playing back a message, press DIVIDE at the point you want to divide.

•When you press DIVIDE during recording:

The new message number is added at the point you pressed the button, and the new message number and “DIVIDE“ flash three times. The message will be divided into two; however, the messages will be recorded without a break.

Message 1 Message 2 Message 3A message is divided.Recording continues
