When  
appears on the display, replace the batteries as  
soon as possible.  
When the batteries are too weak, the recorder shuts down  
and “BATTERY LOW” appears on the display. AAA alkaline  
batteries are recommended.  
...............................................................................................................................................  
Notes  
Be sure to stop the recorder before replacing the batteries. Unloading the batteries while the recorder is  
recording, erasing or otherwise accessing an audio file may corrupt the file. If you are recording into a file and  
the batteries run out, you will lose your currently recorded file because the file header will not be able to close.  
So, it is crucial to change the batteries once you see only one mark in the battery icon  
• Be sure to replace both batteries at the same time.  
Never mix old and new batteries, or batteries of different types and/or brands.  
• If it takes longer than 1 minute to replace dead batteries, you may have to reset the time when you load fresh  
batteries. (P.10)  
• Remove the batteries if you are not going to use the recorder for an extended period of time.

Setting Time/Date  
If you have set the time and date, information as to when an audio file is recorded is stored  
automatically with that file. The time and date should be set to ease file management tasks. The  
time and date setting is also needed to perform the alarm playback function. (P.28)  
The hour indicator will flash automatically when you load batteries before using the  
recorder for the first time, or after the recorder hasn't been used for a long time. Proceed  
from step 3.

Recording  
The recorder provides five folders, A, B, C, D and E, and each message recorded in a folder  
is saved as a Digital Speech Standard (DSS) file. These five folders can be selectively used to  
distinguish the kind of recording; for example, A might be used to store private information, while  
B might be dedicated to holding business information (P.32). Up to 199 messages can be  
recorded per folder. Four recording modes are available: new, append, overwrite, and insert.

When the microphone senses that sounds have reached a preset volume, the built-in Variable  
Control Voice Actuator (VCVA) starts recording automatically, and stops when the volume drops.  
Particularly helpful for extended recording, the VCVA not only conserves memory by turning off  
recording during silent periods, but also makes playback more efficient and convenient.

Microphone  
Sensitivity  
Microphone sensitivity is adjustable to meet  
recording needs.  
Using the MICSENS switch, choose  
between the CONF and DICT positions.  
CONF : High-sensitivity mode that records  
sounds in all directions.  
DICT  
:
Low-sensitivity mode suited for  
dictation.  
Notes  
If you want to clearly record dictation, switch to  
DICT mode and place the internal microphone  
close (5 to 10 cm) to the speaker.  
If the ambient (background) noise is too loud to  
get a clear recording even in DICT mode, we  
recommend that you use an ME-12 single  
directional microphone (sold separately).
