hNotes for Recording
• If [FULL] appears on the display, you cannot record in the selected folder. In such a case, erase
unnecessary les.
• If the recorder is placed directly on a table when recording a meeting, it tends to pick up table
vibrations. Put a notebook or other item between the table and the recorder so that the vibration
is not easily transmitted for clearer recording.
• Even if you press the DISP/MENU button, the display will not change to current recording time
if the remaining recording time is 5 minutes or less.
• When remaining recording time is less than 60 seconds, the record/play indicator light starts
ashing in red. When the recording time is decreased to 30 or 10 seconds, the light ashes
faster.
• The recorder will enter Stop mode if it has been left paused for 60 minutes or longer.
• In case of dicult acoustic conditions or low speaker’s voice, recording in [HQ] is recommended.
Also, usage of an external microphone (sold separately) could improve the quality of
recordings.
The external microphone and other devices can be connected
and the sound can be recorded.
• When using an external microphone, select adequate
microphone, such as a Noise-Cancellation microphone or
Electret condenser microphone (optional).
• To connect the recorder to an external device, use the
connecting cord KA333 (optional), and the stereo/monaural
converting plug adapter supplied with KA333.
• The input level cannot be adjusted on this recorder. When
you connect the recorder to an external device, execute a test
recording and adjust the output level of the external device.

• To ensure successful recording, make a test recording to select
appropriate microphone sensitivity before recording.
• If you select [g], we recommend setting the recording mode to [HQ]
to best take advantage of the higher sensitivity.
• If you select [g], background noise may be high depending on the
recording conditions.
Note:
• The recording time shown above is for one continuous le. The avilable recording time may be
shorter than specied if several les are recorded. (Use the remaining time and recorded time
only as references.)
