fluorescent lamp or a mobile phone during
recording or playback.
• Plug of the connected microphone was dirty when
recording. Clean the plug.
• Ear receiver/headphones plug is dirty. Clean the
plug.
Recording level is low.
• Slide MIC SENS to “HIGH”.
Recording is interrupted.
• The advanced VOR function is activated. Set VOR

Recording level is unstable (when recording
music, etc.).
• This unit is designed to automatically adjust the
recording level when recording meetings, etc., and
is not suitable for music recording.
“--Y--M--D” or “--:--” is displayed.
• You have not set the clock.
“--Y--M--D” or “--:--” is displayed on the REC
DATE display.
• The date and time of recording will not be
displayed if you recorded the message when the

LP modes, the recordable time varies from the
maximum HQ mode recording time to the
maximum LP mode recording time.
• No more recording can be made when 99 messages
each have been recorded in a folder.
• Due to the limitation of the IC recording system,
this unit records in the minimum recording unit. If
the length of each message cannot be divided by
the minimum recording unit, the remaining
recording time may decrease by more than the
total length of the messages.
The remaining time displayed in the display
window is shorter than that displayed in
the supplied “Digital Voice Editor“ software.
• The unit requires a certain amount of memory for
system operation. That amount is subtracted from
the remaining time, which is the reason for the
difference.
