Inserting Batteries

Lightly press down on the arrow and slide the

battery cover open.

Insert two AAA alkaline batteries, observing

the correct polarity.

Close the battery cover completely.

Replacing batteries

The battery indicator on the display changes as the batteries

lose power.

→

“BATTERY

When

appears on the display, replace the batteries as

soon as possible.

When the batteries are too weak, the recorder shuts down

and “BATTERY LOW” appears on the display. AAA alkaline

batteries are recommended.

...............................................................................................................................................

Notes

• Be sure to stop the recorder before replacing the batteries. Unloading the batteries while the recorder is

recording, erasing or otherwise accessing an audio file may corrupt the file. If you are recording into a file and

the batteries run out, you will lose your currently recorded file because the file header will not be able to close.

So, it is crucial to change the batteries once you see only one mark in the battery icon

• Be sure to replace both batteries at the same time.

• Never mix old and new batteries, or batteries of different types and/or brands.

• If it takes longer than 1 minute to replace dead batteries, you may have to reset the time when you load fresh

batteries. (ꢀ P.10)

• Remove the batteries if you are not going to use the recorder for an extended period of time.

Recording

The recorder provides five folders, A, B, C, D and E, and each message recorded in a folder

is saved as a Digital Speech Standard (DSS) file. These five folders can be selectively used to

distinguish the kind of recording; for example, A might be used to store private information, while

B might be dedicated to holding business information (ꢀ P.32). Up to 199 messages can be

recorded per folder. Four recording modes are available: new, append, overwrite, and insert.

Using the Variable Control Voice Actuator (VCVA)

When the microphone senses that sounds have reached a preset volume, the built-in Variable

Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) starts recording automatically, and stops when the volume drops.

Particularly helpful for extended recording, the VCVA not only conserves memory by turning off

recording during silent periods, but also makes playback more efficient and convenient.

Microphone

Sensitivity

Microphone sensitivity is adjustable to meet

recording needs.

Using the MICSENS switch, choose

between the CONF and DICT positions.

CONF : High-sensitivity mode that records

sounds in all directions.

DICT

Low-sensitivity mode suited for

dictation.

Notes

• If you want to clearly record dictation, switch to

DICT mode and place the internal microphone

close (5 to 10 cm) to the speaker.

• If the ambient (background) noise is too loud to

get a clear recording even in DICT mode, we

recommend that you use an ME-12 single

directional microphone (sold separately).
