BHandling Folders

Adding / Deleting Folders
By default setting, there are 5 folders: FOLDER01 through FOLDER05. You can add folders as you like. You can also delete unnecessary folders. Note
The maximum number of folders you can add varies depending on the using conditions. Folder Full is displayed in the display window when you cannot add any folder because of the system limitations of the IC recorder.

On system limitations of the IC recorder
There are some system limitations of the unit. Troubles as mentioned below are not malfunctions of the unit.
You cannot record messages up to the maximum recording time.
If you record messages in a mixture of ST, STLP, SP and LP modes, the recordable time varies from the maximum ST mode recording time to the maximum LP mode recording time. There may be other formatted data (for example, images) in the memory. Since you need the minimum recording unit to record a message even shorter than the minimum recording unit, the actual total recording time may become shorter than the maximum recording time of the IC recorder. The maximum recording time varies depending on the number of folders or messages. No more recording can be made when 999 messages each have been recorded in a folder. Due to the limitation of the IC recording system mentioned above, the sum of the total recorded time in the counter (elapsed time) and the remaining time becomes shorter than the maximum recording time of the IC recorder.
