t >PAUSE is slid in the direction of the arrow.  
t The AC power adaptor is not firmly connected.  
t The unit will not run on dry batteries if the AC power  
adaptor is left plugged into the DC IN 3V jack even  
though you disconnect the AC power adaptor from the  
power source.  
• The VOR system is affected by the environmental recording conditions.  
When you use the system in a noisy place, the unit will stay in the  
recording mode. If the sound is too soft, on the contrary, the unit will  
not start recording. If you cannot get the results you want, set it to OFF.  
• The VOR system may not record the beginning of the sound you want  
to record because it starts recording only after it catches the sound. For  
an important recording, set it to OFF.  
Wh e n t o re p la ce t h e b a t t e rie s
