•Recording, playback, and clear operations can be started in the Timekeeping Mode,
Voice Mode, or Alarm Mode. The watch automatically enters the Voice Mode when-
ever one of these operations is started from the Timekeeping or Alarm Mode.
•Total recording time is 30 seconds, and a full 30 seconds of recording are provided
when only a single recording is stored in voice memory. Afull 30 seconds of recording
may not be provided when more than one recording is stored in voice memory (due to
memory used up by memory partitioning).
•Once voice memory is full, you will not be able to record any more until you clear all
existing data.
•It is always a good idea to check the number of recordings already in voice memory
and the voice memory’s remaining capacity (see “About the Graphic Display”) before
starting a new recording.
•Recordings may overlap slightly when more than one recording is stored in voice
memory. To avoid this problem, it is recommended that you pause slightly before start-
ing a recording that comes after an existing recording.
