Other Functions

Dividing a Message

You can divide a message during recording or playback,
so that the message is divided into two and the new
message number is added to the divided message.   By
dividing a message, you can easily find the point you
want to play back when you make a long recording such
as a meeting.
You can divide messages until the total number of
messages in the folder becomes 99.

While recording or playing back a message, press
DIVIDE at the point you want to divide.

When you press DIVIDE during recording:

The new message number is added at
the point you pressed the button, and
the new message number and “DIVIDE“
flashes for 3 seconds. The message will
be divided into two; however, the
messages will be recorded without a
break.

 Tip

You can divide a message during recording pause.

When you press DIVIDE during playback:

The message is divided into two at the
point you pressed the button, and the
new message number and “DIVIDE“

numbers of the following messages

 To play the divided messages continuously

Select ON for CONT in the menu as described in “Playing

Notes

• If 99 messages have been recorded in a folder, you cannot

divide a message.  In that case, reduce the number of
messages to 98 or less by erasing unnecessary messages or
by moving some of the messages to another folder before
dividing a message.

• If you divide a message with an alarm setting, the alarm

setting remains only with the former message divided.

• You cannot divide a message in the first or the last 1 second.
• If you divide a message frequently, the unit may become

unable to divide a message.

• Once a message is divided, you cannot combine the divided

messages with the IC recorder.
