What is the ICD-35 IC recorder?
The ICD-35 IC recorder enables you to record and play back oral messages
in the built-in IC memory.
rRecording
When a new message is recorded, it is automatically added after the last
recorded messages.
Unlike with tape recorders, you do not need to worry about recording
over previously recorded messages by mistake.
Since you do not need to search for the end of the last recording, you can
start recording quickly whenever you wish.
rPlayback
With this IC recorder, you can quickly locate the message you want to play
back.
Reviewing the current recording is also very easy.
rErasing
You can quickly erase unwanted messages with an easy operation. When a
message is erased, the next message automatically advances, leaving no
blank space.
