≥
This unit does not have a clock
function so the recording date and
time of files recorded on this unit
is shown as [2006/01/01/00:00] on
Voice Editing. The recording date
and time can be changed on
Voice Editing, however the file
format must be converted from a
WAVE file to a VM1 file. For
details, refer to the PDF operating
instructions for Voice Editing.
≥ One file can be recorded
continuously for up to
approximately 12 hours.
(Recording stops automatically
about 12 hours after it starts.)
≥ When the remaining memory
becomes less than 10 minutes
while recording, the status
indicator starts flashing more
rapidly.
≥ Recorded files are monaural.
