appears on the display, and the recorder shuts off.

Notes on the Folders

while the recorder is stopped.

Each time you press the MENU/FOLDER button, the display

changes as follows:

A → B → C →S → A . . .

• Folders A, B, and C

Each recorded file is stored in a folder. Using folders to classify files makes it

convenient to find files you want to access later.

• Folder S

This folder has date subfolders* from January 1 to December 31. Up to 15 files

can be stored in each date subfolder, a useful feature for schedule management

by storing a certain day's schedule for future reference.

To switch between date subfolders, select the S folder, then press the 9/+ or

0/– button while the recorder is stopped.

Up to a total of 100 files can be recorded in folder S.

* There is one subfolder for each day of the year.

New recordings are saved as the last file in the folder. For example, if you have

eight recordings in the Folder A, and you press REC, the new recording will be

recording number nine.

folder (A, B, C or S).

When you select folder S, the current date subfolder

other item between the table and the recorder for clearer

recording.

Each time you press the DISPLAY button, the display switches between current recording

time and remaining recording time.
