.......................................................................................................
Notes
• Be sure to stop the recorder before replacing the batteries.
Unloading the batteries while the recorder is in use 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. It is crucial to change the batteries once you see only
one Hash 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

When the microphone senses that sounds have reached a preset volume level, the built-in
Variable Control VoiceActuator (VCVA) starts recording automatically, and stops when the volume

during silent periods. This helps make the playback, with no lulls or dead space, 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 record clear or noise-free dictation,
select DICT mode and place the microphone 3 to
4 inches from the source.
• If the ambient (background) noise is too loud to
get a clear recording even in DICT mode, we
recommend that you use an ME12 single
directional microphone (sold separately).
