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.

zPlayback
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.

Recording Messages
You can record up to 99 messages in each of three folders (A, B, or C) for
ICD-B10 or five folders (A, B, C, D or E) for ICD-B15. Since a newly
recorded message is automatically added behind the last recorded
message, you can start recording quickly without searching for the end of
the last recording.

messages in a mixture of SP and LP modes, the recordable time varies
from 63 to 168 minutes.
With the ICD-B15, you can record for up to 127 minutes in SP (standard
play) mode and 339 minutes in LP (long play) mode. If you record
messages in a mixture of SP and LP modes, the recordable time varies

Various Ways of Recording
Starting recording automatically in response to the sound
— Advanced VOR function
When the VOR (voice operated recording) function is set to ON (page 36),
recording starts when the recorder detects sound and stops when no
sound is heard.
Note
VOR function is affected by the sound around you. Set the microphone
sensitivity (SENS) to either HI (high) or LO (low) (see page 36). If recording is
not satisfactory after you have changed the microphone sensitivity, or for
important recording, set VOR to OFF.
Recording with an external microphone or from other
equipment
Connect a plug-in-power type microphone or other equipment to the MIC
(PLUG IN POWER) jack.
When you connect an external microphone, the built-in microphone is
automatically cut off. When a plug-in-power type microphone is
connected, power is automatically supplied to the microphone from the IC
recorder.
Adding a recording
To add a recording to a previously recorded message or to add an
overwrite recording during playback, see pages 21 and 22.
