Note on recording
Noise may be recorded if an object, such as
your finger, etc., accidentally rubs or scratches
the unit during recording.
Maximum recording time
The maximum recording time of all
the folders is as follows. You can record
messages for the maximum recording
time in a single folder.
HQ* 59 hr. 45 min.
SP** 159 hr. 20 min.
LP*** 261 hr. 45 min.
(hr.: hours/min.: minutes)
* HQ: High quality recording mode
(monaural sound)
** SP: Standard play recording mode
(monaural sound)
*** LP: Long play recording mode (monaural
sound)
Notes
To record in better sound quality, select
the HQ mode. For switching the recording
mode, see “Changing the Recording Mode”
on page 36.
Before making a long recording, be sure to
check the battery indicator.
The maximum recording time and the
number of messages you can make vary
depending on the conditions of use.

When you record messages in the mixture
of HQ, SP and LP modes, the maximum
recording time will be between those for the
HQ and LP modes.
Due to the limitation of the IC recording
system, this unit records in the minimum
recording unit of approx. 2 seconds at most,
therefore the following symptoms may
occur:
When a message is shorter than the
minimum recording unit, it is still counted
as approx. 2 seconds at most so the
remaining recording time will decrease
by more than the actual length of the
message.
When the message is longer than the
minimum recording unit, the remaining
recording time will decrease by more
than the actual length of the message
if it cannot be divided by the minimum
recording unit without a remainder.
The sum of the number on the counter
(elapsed recording time) and the
remaining recording time may be less than
the unit’s maximum recording time.
