What is the ICD-70 IC recorder?
The ICD-70 IC recorder enables you to record and play back oral messages
in the built-in IC memory.
r Recording
When a new messages 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.

Features
•16 minutes (SP)/24 minutes (LP) recording time
•Easy operation with a jog dial
Various operation can be done by simply turning and pressing the jog
dial.
•Organizing message files
You can choose among 5 different files (see page 11) to record your
messages according to your purpose:
(ACTION) (SCHEDULE) (MEMO-1)
(MEMO-2) (SECRET)
You can move messages from one file to another (See page 24).
Up to 99 messages can be recorded in each file.
•Priority marks (Page 22)
You can attach up to three priority marks ( ) to important messages.
Messages are rearranged in the order of their priority, i.e. messages with
more priority marks are placed before those with less priority marks.
•Advanced VOR (Voice Operated Recording ) function (Page 18)
When this function is activated, the recorder automatically starts and
stops recording in response to the sound. This advanced function starts
recording instantly when a sound is heard, preventing the beginning of
the recording from being cut off.
•Alarm function (Page 28)
You can start playing back a desired message with an alarm on a desired
date and time.
•Secret function (Page 25)
By setting an ID code (4-digit number), you can lock the messages in the
secret file. This prevents confidential messages from being played back
by others.
•Timer function (Page 32)
•External microphone jack (Page 21)
•Using the files with a personal computer (See “Optional accessories”
on page 43.)
When you connect this recorder to a personal computer with WAV LINK
software (available in spring 1998; floppy disk and a connecting cable)
installed, you can transfer the messages recorded in this IC recorder to
the computer. Then you can store the messages in the computer and
attach them to your e-mail. Also, you can search the messages in the IC
recorder by date, priority marks or alarm settings.

Clock setting display appears when you insert batteries for the first time,
or when you insert batteries after the unit has been without batteries for a
certain period of time. Please refer to Steps 2 to 4 in “Step 2: Setting the
Clock” on page 8 to set the date and time.
Note
Make sure to close the lid completely. Otherwise the unit will not operate.
Charging the clock battery
Before using the IC recorder for the first time, or if you have not used the
unit for a long time, you first need to charge the built-in clock battery.
Install the batteries in the battery compartment and leave them for more
than one day. The clock battery will be automatically charged. (You can
use the unit while charging.) If you remove the batteries while charging
the clock battery, the unit will be reset to the initial setting. Once you have
charged the clock battery, you do not have to recharge it, as long as
batteries are installed. When the clock battery is recharged, settings such as
clock setting are maintained for about 3 minutes.
Replacing the battery
“i“ appears on the display when the batteries become weak and it flashes
when the batteries are exhausted. Replace the batteries with new ones.
Battery life
Sony alkaline batteries LR03 (SG)
approx. 1.5 months*
* When recording in LIGHT OPR mode for 2 minutes and playing back for 3
minutes every day.
Notes
• When you replace the batteries, insert new batteries within 3 minutes after
you removed the exhausted ones, otherwise all the settings you have made
will be reset to the initial settings.
The recorded messages, however, will remain.
• When replacing the batteries, be sure to replace both batteries with new ones.
• Do not charge dry batteries.
• When you are not going to use the unit for a long time, remove the batteries to
prevent damage from battery leakage and corrosion.
