Wh a t is a n IC re co rd e r?  
This IC recorder enables you to record and play back oral messages in the  
built-in IC memory.  
z Re co rd in g  
When a new message is recorded, it is automatically added after the last  
recorded messages.  
Unlike with tape recorders, you do not need to worry about recording over  
previously recorded messages by mistake.  
Since you do not need to search for the end of the last recording, you can  
start recording quickly whenever you wish.

back.  
Reviewing the current recording is also very easy.  
z Era sin g  
You can quickly erase unwanted messages with an easy operation. When a  
message is erased, the next message automatically advances, leaving no

recording time  
This unit is useful for recording messages or appointments.  
Organizing message files  
You can choose among 3 different files to record and store your  
messages.  
You can easily move messages from one file to another (see page 18).  
Up to 99 messages can be recorded in each file.  
Alarm function  
You can start playing back a desired message with an alarm on a desired  
date and time (see page 21). You can use this function to remind you of  
the time of the meeting, etc.  
Playback speed control  
You can play back messages rapidly (+50%) or slowly (–25%) (see page  
19). This is useful when playing back a long recording. The sound pitch  
will be automatically adjusted when you change the playback speed.  
Adding a recording to previously recorded message  
You can add a recording to the message being played back to count as  
one message (see page 20).
