DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER
3. Point the microphone toward the sound source
and press and hold REC/STOP until recording
starts: The message number, the oval “R”
recording symbol, and the abbreviation “REC” will
appear on the LCD alongside the symbols that
were already there (including the file letter, the
“SP”/“LP” recording mode, and the battery-life
gauge); the “pie slice” operating symbol in the
upper right will begin to rotate; and the red LED
on the REC/STOP button will light. (The message
number is assigned automatically; it will always be
“1” [appearing as “01”] for the first recorded
message in a file, or the number following that of
the previously recorded message in the chosen
file.) Two seconds into the recording, “REC” will
be replaced by a display of the message’s elapsed
recording time in minutes and seconds.
