When playing back a message you have just finished recording, start from Step 3.
Recording Messages
You can record up to 99 messages in each of the four folders (A, B, C, and D).

maximum HQ mode recording time to the
maximum LP mode recording time.
• No more recording can be made when 99 messages
each have been recorded in a folder.

this unit records in the minimum recording unit. If
the length of each message cannot be divided by
the minimum recording unit, the remaining
recording time may decrease by more than the
total length of the messages.
VOR function is affected by the sound
around you. Set the MIC SENS to
HIGH or LOW. If recording is not
satisfactory after you have changed
the microphone sensitivity, or for
important recording, set VOR to OFF.
• Do not leave the unit in a location near heat sources, or in a
