Starting recording automatically in response to the sound — Advanced

VOR function (ICD-B17 only)

When VOR (voice operated recording) is set to ON in the menu, recording starts when the recorder detects sound. (“VOR” is displayed in the display window.)

Recording stops when no sound is heard. (“VOR PAUSE” flashes in the display window.)

Note

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.

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

You can record for up to 150 minutes (ICD-B7)/300 minutes

(ICD-B17). You can check the remaining amount of recording time by selecting the remaining recording time display mode.

Notes

Due to the limitation of the IC recording system, this unit records in the minimum recording unit of approx. 9 seconds, therefore the following symptoms may occur:

• When a message is shorter than the minimum recording unit, it is still counted as approx. 9 seconds 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.

Remaining memory indication

During recording, the remaining memory indicator decreases one by one.

The memory is nearly full.

Notes

• If 99 messages have been recorded in a folder, you cannot add an index. In that case, reduce the number of messages to 98 or less by erasing unnecessary messages or by moving some of the messages to another folder before adding an index.

• If you add an index to a message with an alarm setting, the alarm setting remains only with the former message divided.

Combining Messages by Erasing the

Index

You can combine two messages into one by erasing the index.
