..... 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.13).

If the switch is moved to hold during playback (or recording), the playback (recording) status will stay and cannot be operated. (When playback has ended and the recording has ended due the remaining memory being used up, it will be in the stop state.) The alarm will sound at the scheduled time even if the recorder is set to hold. The recorder begins to play the file associated with the alarm when you press any button. Recording will start when the set time of the timer recording comes even while in hold.
