Connecting the IC recorder to your computer
You can transfer the IC recorder data onto your computer by connecting the IC recorder to the computer. Remove the USB cap from the IC recorder and then connect the IC recorder to the USB connector of your computer. The IC recorder is recognized by the computer as soon as the connection is made. While the IC recorder is connected to the computer, CONNECTING is displayed in the display window of the IC recorder.
Tip If the IC recorder cannot be connected to the USB connector of your computer directly, use the supplied USB connection support cable.
USB connection support cable (supplied)

Computer IC recorder

To USB connector
If you connect more than two USB devices to your computer, normal operation will not be guaranteed. Use of this IC recorder with a USB hub or a USB connection support cable other than the supplied cable is not guaranteed. A malfunction may occur depending on the USB devices connected at the same time. Before connecting the IC recorder to the computer, make sure that the battery is inserted in the IC recorder. It is recommended that you disconnect the IC recorder from the computer when you are not using the IC recorder connected to the computer.
Using Voice Recognition Software
When voice recognition software (not supplied) is installed on your computer, you can transcribe a message into a text file.
Introducing the voice recognition software
Dragon NaturallySpeaking is a speechrecognition software application that allows you to recognize and transcribe your recorded voice in a message and convert it into a text file. For details on Dragon NaturallySpeaking, refer to the operating instructions supplied with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. For information on using Dragon NaturallySpeaking, refer to the documentation supplied with the software. For the latest version and information on the availability of Dragon NaturallySpeaking in each region, please refer to the following home page: http://www.nuance.com
Disconnecting the IC recorder from your computer
Follow the procedures below; otherwise, data may be damaged.
1 Make sure that the operation
indicator is not flashing.
2 Disconnect the IC recorder from the
USB connector of the computer.
You can use the transcribing feature only when you have installed Dragon NaturallySpeaking Select or Professional Edition (not supplied) on your computer. To install Dragon NaturallySpeaking, your computer should meet the specified system requirements. You can transcribe the following messages saved in your IC recorder or on your computer; ST, STSP, STLP or SP recording mode messages (MP3 files) 44.1/16/11kHz 16-bit WAV files saved on your computer You cannot transcribe a message recording the voices of more than one person.

You cannot copy 511 or more folders (except VOICE folders) or files to the root directory that is located immediately below IC RECORDER on the computer. This is due to Windows system limitations. If no title name or artist name has been entered into the ID3 tag information, Unknown will be displayed.
Before taking the IC recorder for repair, check the following sections. Should any problem persist after you have made these checks, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
Symptom The IC recorder cannot be turned on. The IC recorder does not operate. No sound comes from the speaker. Sound comes from the speaker even when the headphones are plugged in. The operation indicator does not light. MEMORY FULL is displayed and you cannot start recording. Remedy
The HOLD switch is set. Slide the HOLD switch in the direction opposite that of the arrow. The battery has been inserted with incorrect polarity (page11). The battery is weak (page12). The buttons are locked with the HOLD switch (page8). The volume is turned down completely (page23). Headphones are plugged in (page24). If you plug in the headphones not securely during playback, the sound may come from the speaker. Unplug the headphones and then insert them securely. LED is set to OFF (page38). Display the menu and set LED to ON. The memory is full. Erase some of the messages (page29) or erase all the messages after you store them on your computer.
Symptom FILE FULL is displayed and you cannot operate the IC recorder.

Remedy

99 messages have been recorded in the selected folder or 495 messages (when there are 5 folders) in total have been recorded. Therefore you cannot record another message, or move a message. Erase some of the messages (page29) or erase all the messages after you store them on your computer. The VOR function (page19) is activated. Set VOR to OFF in the menu (page35). An object, such as your finger, etc., accidentally rubbed or scratched the IC recorder during recording so that noise was recorded. The IC recorder was placed near an AC power source, a fluorescent lamp or a mobile phone during recording or playback. Plug of the connected microphone was dirty when recording. Clean the plug. The (headphones) plug is dirty. Clean the plug. MIC SENS (microphone sensitivity) is set to LOW (L). Display the menu and set MIC SENS to HIGH (H) (page35). Connect the headphone jack of other equipment to the (microphone) jack of the IC recorder and adjust the volume level on the equipment connected to the IC recorder. The playback speed is adjusted in DPC. Slide the DPC switch to OFF or display the menu and adjust the speed in DPC again (pages26, 36). You have not set the clock (page14). The date of recording will not be displayed if you recorded the message when the clock was not set.

LOW BATTERY

MEMORY FULL FILE FULL
FILE DAMAGED FORMAT ERROR

PROCESS ERROR

Error message SET DATE&TIME NO FILE PAST DATE/TIME FILE PROTECTED

Cause/Remedy

Set the clock; otherwise, you cannot set the alarm. The selected folder does not have any messages. You cannot move a message or set the alarm, etc., because of this. You set the alarm when the time has already passed. Check it and set the appropriate date and time. The selected message is protected and is now a Reading only file. You cannot erase it. Cancel Reading only on your computer to edit the message using the IC recorder. The data does not have a file format which the IC recorder supports. You cannot move a message, because there is more than one folder that has files with same name. Change the file names. A message in the folder cannot be moved.
UNKNOWN DATA CANNOT OPERATE

CHANGE FOLDER

If there are no MP3 files in the folder, no folders are displayed in the display window, therefore, the folder setting will be changed. A system error other than the above has occurred. Remove the battery and re-insert it.

SYSTEM ERROR

System limitations
There are some system limitations of the IC recorder. Troubles as mentioned below are not malfunctions of the IC recorder.
Symptom You cannot record messages up to the maximum recording time. Cause/Remedy
If you record messages in a mixture of ST, STSP, STLP, SP and LP modes, the recordable time varies from the maximum ST mode recording time to the maximum LP mode recording time. The sum of the number on the counter (elapsed recording time) and the remaining recording time may be less than the IC recorders maximum recording time. If you have transferred MP3 files using your computer, those files may not be copied in order of transfer because of the System limitation. Depending on the combination of the characters used for the folder name that was made on your computer, those characters may change to all capitals. You cannot specify the finishing point B before the starting point A that has been set.

You cannot display MP3 files in order. You cannot enter lowercase characters. You cannot specify the finishing point B.
