Note
• While recording is in progress or paused, do not
remove the batteries or the SD card. Doing so may
damage the data.
• If you leave the linear PCM recorder unused for a
while, the linear PCM recorder will enter sleep mode
automatically. However, the recorder consumes
power while it is in low power consumption mode.
When you are not going to use the linear PCM
recorder, please turn off the power.
The recorder does not enter the low power
consumption mode while the recording is paused.
• Do not connect a computer to the linear PCM
recorder during recording. Doing so stops recording
automatically (because connection with a computer
has priority).
• If the file size reaches the maximum limit (4 GB
for an LPCM file, and 1 GB for an MP3 file) during
recording, the file will be divided.
• Some of the recording may be lost around the
divided point.
For the maximum recordable time for a single file,
see page 91.
