then begin to play the file associated with the alarm 

once you press any button.

set to the [HOLD] position:

– If the recorder is playing, the display goes dark when 

playback of the current file has completed.

– If the recorder is recording, the display goes dark 

when the recorder stops recording automatically 

upon running out of free memory.

•  If [FULL] appears on the display, you cannot record in the selected folder. In such a case, erase 

unnecessary files.

•  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 

flashing in red. When the recording time is decreased to 30 or 10 seconds, the light flashes 

faster.

•  The recorder will enter Stop mode if it has been left paused for 60 minutes or longer.

•  In case of difficult 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.
