set the date and time.
Getting Started
Step 1: Preparing a
Power Source
Installing the batteries
Using rechargeable batteries
You can install rechargeable batteries
(not supplied) instead of the supplied
batteries.
1 Slide and lift the battery
compartment lid.
Follow steps 1 and 2, and then charge
the batteries by connecting the USB
connector of the IC recorder to your
computer.
2 Insert two LR03 (size AAA) alkaline
batteries with correct polarity, and
close the lid.
USB cable (supplied)
GB
1ꢀ
While the batteries are charging,
“CONNECTING”and the battery indicator
are displayed in an animation.
Notes
While“
”or“
”is being displayed
instead of the remaining battery/charging
indicator, you cannot charge the batteries.
Charge the batteries in an environment with
a temperature of 5 °C – 35 °C.
If“USB CHARGE”in the menu“DETAIL
MENU”is set to“OFF,”you cannot charge
the batteries using your computer. Set“USB
CHARGE”to“ON”(page 56).
When the battery indicator indicates
“
,”charging is completed. (Charging
time: approx. 4 hours*)
When you use the IC recorder for the
first time, or after you have not used
the IC recorder for a certain time, it
is recommended that you charge
the batteries repeatedly until“ ”is
displayed.
If the battery indicator is not displayed,
charging has not been done properly.
Proceed from step 1 again.
* This is an approximation for the time it takes
to charge from no remaining battery power
to full battery power at room temperature.
It varies depending on the remaining
power and the condition of the batteries.
It also takes more time if the temperature
of the batteries is low, or if the batteries are
changed while you are transferring data to
the IC recorder.
Do not use manganese batteries for this IC
recorder.
Clock setting display appears when you
insert batteries for the first time, or when
you insert batteries after the IC recorder
has been without batteries for a certain
period of time. Please refer to step 4 in
“Step 2: Setting the Clock”on page 17 to
set the date and time.
Tip
You can charge the rechargeable batteries by
connecting the IC recorder to an AC outlet
using a USB AC adaptor (not supplied) (page
78).

Connecting the IC Recorder
to your Computer
You can transfer the IC recorder data
onto your computer by connecting the
IC recorder to the computer.
Be sure to install the Digital Voice Editor
software before connecting the IC recorder
to your computer. Otherwise, a message like
[Found New Hardware Wizard] may appear
when you connect the IC recorder to your
computer. In this case, click [Cancel].
Use the USB connecting cable supplied
with the IC recorder to connect the USB
connectors of the IC recorder and your
computer.
The IC recorder is recognized by
the computer as soon as the cable
is connected. You can connect or
disconnect the cable when the IC
recorder and the computer are turned
on or off.
Do not connect more than two USB devices
to your computer. Normal operation will not
be guaranteed.
Use of this IC recorder with a USB hub or a
USB extension cable is not guaranteed.
A malfunction may occur depending on the
USB devices connected at any one time.
Before connecting the IC recorder to the
computer, check that batteries are inserted
in the IC recorder.

When you connect the IC recorder to the
computer, make sure that the IC recorder is
in the stop mode.
It is recommend that you disconnect the
cable from the computer when you do not
use the Digital Voice Editor.
Playing Back MP3
Files Using the IC
Recorder
You can play back MP3 files on your
computer using the IC recorder. There
are two ways how to copy the MP3
files to the IC recorder; using the Digital
Voice Editor software and dragging and
dropping from Windows Explorer.
The maximum playback time (tracks*),
when playing MP3 files using the IC
recorder, is as follows.

Note
When you copy MP3 files using Windows
Explorer, rather than the Digital Voice Editor
software, you can play back the MP3 files
as usually but you cannot add/overwrite
the recording, divide files (messages), add
bookmarks or add priority marks.

The IC recorder can recognize up to
511 folders. When there is one file in
each folder, you can create up to 340
folders, and when there are 5 folders,
you can copy up to 1012 files in total,
up to 999 files in one folder.
Open“My Computer”and make sure
that a removable disk is recognized
newly on the Windows screen.
2 Drag and drop the folder in
which MP3 files are stored to the
removable disk.

There are some system limitations of the IC recorder. Troubles as mentioned below are
not malfunctions of the IC recorder.
Symptom
Cause/Remedy
You cannot record
messages up to the

If you record messages in a mixture of STHQ, ST, STLP, SP and
LP modes, the recordable time varies from the maximum STHQ
mode recording time to the maximum LP mode recording
time.

time) and the remaining recording time may be less than the
IC recorder’s maximum recording time.
You cannot divide a

You cannot divide MP3 files.
You cannot divide at the beginning of a message or at the end
of a message, or around bookmarks.
You cannot display MP3
files in order.
If you have transferred MP3 files using Windows Explorer, those
files may not be copied in order of transfer because of the
limitations of Windows.
When you want to display the files you transferred in order, it is
recommended that you use the supplied“Digital Voice Editor”
software.
You cannot make the A-B If messages on which bookmarks have been added using

On handling
Do not leave the unit in a location
near heat sources, or in a place subject
to direct sunlight, excessive dust or
mechanical shock.
Should any solid object or liquid fall
