BOther Functions
Dividing a Message
You can divide a message during recording or playback,
so that the message is divided into two and the new
message number is added to the divided message. By
dividing a message, you can easily find the point you want
to play back when you make a long recording such as a
meeting.
You can divide messages until the total number of
messages in the folder becomes 99.
While recording or playing back a message, press
DIVIDE at the point you want to divide.
When you press DIVIDE during recording:
The new message number is added at the
point you pressed the button, and the
new message number and “DIVIDE“
flashes for 3 seconds. The message will
be divided into two; however, the
messages will be recorded without a
break.
1 Tip

divide a message. In that case, reduce the number of
messages to 98 or less by erasing unnecessary messages or by
moving some of the messages to another folder before
dividing a message.
• If you divide a message with an alarm setting, the alarm
setting remains only with the former message divided.
You cannot divide a message in the first or the last 1 second.
If you divide a message frequently, the unit may become

• Once a message is divided, you cannot combine the divided
messages with the IC recorder. To combine messages, use
