If the battery indicator is not displayed,
charging has not been done properly.
Proceed from step 1 again.
* This is an approximation for the time it takes
to charge from no remaining battery power
to full battery power at room temperature.
It varies depending on the remaining power
and the condition of the batteries. It also
takes more time if the temperature of the
batteries are low, or if the batteries are
charged while you are transferring data to
the IC recorder.

projector, etc. (page 40).
By placing the IC recorder on the stand,
you can record with clear and lownoise sound, without vibration noise
from the desk.
Recording a musical
performance
Set “REC LEVEL” to “MUSIC ” (page 33)
in the menu to record more natural
acoustic sound, with preventing sound
distortion. For more realistic sound
recording, you can adjust the recording
level manually by setting “REC LEVEL” to
“MANUAL” (page 34).
Set “LIMITER” to “ON” in the menu
(page 36), to prevent distortion when a
loud sound is suddenly input.
By attaching a tripod (not supplied)
using the stand, you can adjust the

mode (page 30).
Tripod (not supplied)
Microphone
Before you can transcribe recorded
messages, you have to create a user file
specifically adapted to the sound of your
recorded speech. This procedure is called
“training.” For details on “training,” refer to the
help files supplied with the voice recognition
software you are using.
To obtain maximum recognition accuracy,
hold the IC recorder so that the microphone
is about 1 inch (2 - 3cm) from the corner of
your mouth.
To minimize the sound of your breath in the
recordings, do not hold the microphone
directly in front of your mouth.
To obtain maximum recognition accuracy,
avoid recording in a noisy place.
You cannot transcribe a message recording
the voices of more than one person.
Turning the IC
Recorder On or O

While the operation indicator is flashing or
is lit in red or orange, do not remove the
batteries or connect or disconnect the USB
AC adaptor. Doing so may damage the data.
Noise may be recorded if an object, such
as your finger, etc., accidentally rubs or
scratches the IC recorder during recording.
Before making a recording, be sure to
check the remaining power of the batteries
