approximately 40 minutes at voice-to-text speed (VT), 55 minutes at
standard play (SP), and 74 minutes at long play (LP). For voice-to-text

quality than LP.

When the battery is at full strength, the two black boxes are full. When the
battery is at half strength, only one black box appears. When the battery
supply is nearly empty, only the outline appears. Batteries should be
replaced at this time. When the empty battery outline flashes, your recorder
will not record until new batteries are installed.
Monitoring the Memory Level
The memory bar, which appearson the upper left side of the display, shows
how much memory has been used on the recorder’s internal memory or the
memory card that you inserted.
The memory bar consists of eight boxes and two brackets. When empty,
only the two brackets show. The black boxes appear as the memory fills.
When nearly full, the boxes will begin flashing. This warns you that your
remaining memory is down to about a minute or less.
When the unit runs out of memory during a recording, the unit beeps and
the recording stops. The display will read either CARD FULL or INT
MEMORY FULL, depending on the memory you are currently using.

on the memory you are using shows on the display. Press Play ( ) to
enter SETUP.
When a Folder Is Full
Each folder can hold up to 99 recordings (60 recordings for 2MB cards). If
you have many brief recordings, you could encounter a full folder. When a
folder is full, the display will give you a FOLDER FULL message. This
does not mean that you are out of memory. It means only that the particular
folder you are using cannot hold any more recordings. To continue
