Recording Messages
You can record messages in each (initially named FOLDER01, FOLDER02,
and FOLDER03) folder. The maximum number of recordable messages
differs depending on the “Memory Stick” capacity.
You can record messages using the following three functions:
• Add a recording to a previously recorded message (next page)
• Add a recording as a new message (page 15)
• Add an overwrite recording (page 15)
This section explains how to add a recording to a previously recorded message.
