Verbatim Owner's Manual 4-3
4.2.1 Verifying/Extending Recording Time
Initially, the unit is set for the fastest memory use rate (“Rate 1”), giving the
highest fidelity sound recording. If you are sure that your messages take less
than the “initial” time shown above for your unit (14 seconds total for a
4-channel unit), go to Section 4.3, “Record Your Messages.” You may also
verify your unit’s current rate setting and corresponding total message recording
time by pressing:
9 1 1 ENTER.
If, after performing this step, you think you may need more recording time
perform the Autoextend
TM
step described next. The Autoextend
TM
feature will
automatically extend the available recording time, selecting the optimum
recording rate (speech memory rate) to give you the highest possible recording
sound quality for your length of recording.
M
Warning:
The following step will erase any existing recorded messages.
To use the Autoextend
TM
feature to extend recording time, have your message
Worksheet handy as you press:
9 1 2 ENTER
The Verbatim autodialer will prompt you to immediately begin reciting your
entire list of messages at the sound of the beep, one after another, at the same
speed that you will want to later record them.
During this time, the Verbatim autodialer will not be recording your spoken
messages. Instead, it will be timing you.
When you have finished reciting (not recording) the last message, immediately
press ENTER.
(
Over the phone, press ZERO to start the timing, and ZERO again to end the
timing. See Section 5.7, “Programming by Phone.”
Based on how long your message recital took, the Autoextend feature will
automatically calculate which recording rate is optimum for your length of
recording time, and will then automatically select that rate. It will tell you how
many seconds your message took, and how much total recording time it has
now given you.
