Playing Back Messages
When playing back a previously recorded message, start from Step 1.
When playing back a message you have just finished recording, start from Step 3.
Recording Messages
You can record up to 99 messages in each of the two folders (A and B).
Since a newly recorded message is automatically added behind the last recorded
message, you can start recording quickly without searching for the end of the
last recording.

Notes
— Scanning Play
Due to the limitation of the IC
recording system, this unit records in
the minimum recording unit of
approx. 9 seconds, therefore the
following symptoms may occur:
• When a message is shorter than the
minimum recording unit, it is still
counted as approx. 9 seconds so the
remaining recording time will
decrease by more than the actual
length of the message.
• When the message is longer than the
minimum recording unit, the
remaining recording time will
decrease by more than the actual
length of the message if it cannot be
divided by the minimum recording
unit without a remainder.
During stop mode, press
NxPLAY/STOP for more than
one second.
