BBefore You Begin

What is an IC recorder?
This IC recorder enables you to record and play back oral messages in the built-in IC memory.

z Recording

When a new message is recorded, it is automatically added after the last recorded messages. Unlike with tape recorders, you do not need to worry about recording over previously recorded messages by mistake. Since you do not need to search for the end of the last recording, you can start recording quickly whenever you wish.
11:30, November 1 Meet Mr. Brown at 2 p.m. tomorrow. 12:00, November 1 Dont forget to call Mary 10:00, November 2 Make remittance at ABC bank

Message 1

Message 2

Message 3

9:00, November 4 Send a card to Miss Smith

Message 4

z Playback
With this IC recorder, you can quickly locate the message you want to play back. Reviewing the current recording is also very easy.

z Erasing

You can quickly erase unwanted messages with an easy operation. When a message is erased, the next message automatically advances, leaving no blank space.

BGetting Started

Step 1: Installing the Batteries
Slide and lift the battery compartment lid.
Insert two LR03 (size AAA) alkaline batteries with correct polarity, and close the lid.
If the battery compartment lid is accidentally detached, attach it as illustrated. Clock setting display appears when you insert batteries for the first time, or when you insert batteries after the unit has been without batteries for a certain period of time. Please refer to Steps 2 to 4 in Step 2: Setting the Clock on pages 8 and 9 to set the date and time.
Replacing the batteries The battery indicator on the display window shows the battery condition. When flashes, replace the batteries with new ones. When flashes, the batteries are exhausted and the unit will stop operation. Battery life* With continuous use, approx. 7.5 hours (SP)/15 hours (LP) of recording or approx. 6 hours (SP)/8 hours (LP) of playback is possible.
* Using Sony alkaline batteries LR03 (SG) * When playing back through the internal speaker with VOL control at around 4 The battery life may shorten depending on the operation of the unit.
Do not use manganese batteries for this unit. When you replace the batteries, insert the new ones within 3 minutes after you removed the exhausted ones. Otherwise, the display may show the clock setting display or incorrect date and time when you re-insert the batteries. In this case, set the date and time again. The recorded messages and alarm setting, however, will remain. When replacing the batteries, be sure to replace both batteries with new ones. Do not charge dry batteries. When you are not going to use the unit for a long time, remove the batteries to prevent damage from battery leakage and corrosion.
Note on the ACCESS message
When you insert the batteries, ACCESS may appear on the display window. Do not remove the batteries while this message is displayed. If the unit is required to process excessive amount of data, ACCESS may be displayed for an extended period of time. This is not a malfunction of the unit. Wait until the message disappears before starting operation.
Step 2: Setting the Clock
You need to set the clock to use the alarm or timer setting function. Clock setting display appears when you insert batteries for the first time, or when you insert batteries after the unit has been without batteries for a certain period of time. In this case, proceed from step 2.

System limitations
There are some system limitations of the IC recorder. Troubles as mentioned below are not malfunctions of the unit.
Cause/Remedy You cannot record If you record messages in a mixture of SP and messages up to the LP modes, the recordable time varies from the maximum recording maximum SP mode recording time to the time. maximum LP recording time. If there are a number of messages shorter than the minimum recording unit (Approx. 16 seconds in SP mode and approx. 42 seconds in LP mode), they are still counted as 16 seconds or 42 seconds, so the remaining recording time may decrease by more than the actual length of the messages. Even when each message is longer than the minimum recording unit, if the length of each message cannot be divided by the minimum recording unit, the remaining recording time may decrease by more than the total length of the messages. The sum of the number on the counter (elapsed recording time) and the remaining recording time may be less than the units maximum recording time (page 12).
