To record in better sound quality, select the HQ mode. For switching the recording mode, see Changing the Recording Mode on the reverse side. Before making a long recording, be sure to check the battery indicator. The maximum recording time and the number of messages you can make vary depending on the conditions of use. When you record messages in the mixture of HQ, SP and LP mode, the maximum recording time will be between those for the HQ and LP modes. Due to the limitation of the IC recording system, this unit records in the minimum recording unit of approx. 2 seconds at most, therefore the following symptoms may occur: When a message is shorter than the minimum recording unit, it is still counted as approx. 2 seconds at most 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. 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.

Comments: South part of building. Landing between 1st and 2nd floor, Lynette felt 'weird'. Fairly quiet in here. Earlier in the day (5pm) we came through this area and felt dizzy and very weird. But during this visit at night it was quiet and there were no weird feelings or dizziness. Claims of activity in South stairwell; Sounds and objects being dropped from above, weird feelings. End of investigation: 2:00 A.M. Final Comments/Notes: The high winds caused a lot of noise throughout the building. The elevator stopped working halfway through the investigation. Many people think the elevator is haunted. When we were able to use the elevator we had nothing happen. Nothing paranormal occurred during the investigation. Paranormal data gathered during investigation: EVP, basement1250am.wav The EVP is a whisper. A video camera was running at the same time right next to the recorder and the camcorder did not pick up the evp. Personal experience in South Stairwell. During our original walkthrough of the building we toured this area. Both Lynette and Becca felt unbalanced and slightly dizzy from the 1st floor up to the 3rd floor. When this area was visited during the investigation that feeling was gone.
Other Comments: Becca had her walking recorder shut off 11 seconds after it was started. No real reason for this to happen. The buttons were locked and the battery was new. This was not discovered until half way through the investigation.
