What is an IC recorder?

This IC recorder enables you to record and play back oral messages in the
built-in IC memory.

z Recording

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.

11:30, November 1

Meet Mr. Brown at
2 p.m. tomorrow.

Message 1 Message 2 Message 3

Message 1 Message 2 Message 3

z Playback

With this IC recorder, you can quickly locate the message you want to play
back.
Reviewing the current recording is also very easy.

z Erasing

You can quickly erase unwanted messages with an easy operation. When a
message is erased, the next message automatically advances, leaving no
blank space.
