.(Review)

Press xSTOP. The unit stops at the beginning of the current recording.
Step 2: Setting the Clock
Clock setting display appears when you insert batteries for the first time, or when you replace the batteries with new ones. In this case, proceed from step 2.
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.

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.
