FAQ

Q: May I use a manganese battery?
A: Do not use a manganese battery or NiCad battery. You may use an oxyride battery, but the
battery life would be about the same as that of alkaline batteries.
Q: Why do I hear a rustling noise in the recordings?
A: A rustling noise may be recorded if you move the unit during recording, or even if you move
your fingers while holding the unit when recording. If possible, try not to move the unit
during recording.
Q: How can I store the recordings onto tapes or MDs?
A: Use a standard audio cable (with 3.5mm mini plugs) to connect the unit to your tape
recorder or MD recorder, then dub the recordings to a tape or MD.

• Use a stereo audio cable.
• Before dubbing the recordings, try a test dubbing and adjust the dubbing level
on the unit.
• You can also dub the recordings from your tape or MD player to the unit
(page 16).
Q: Does the available recording time specified in the the manual apply to each file?
A: No. The available recording time in each recording mode refers to the total time available for
recording without changing the recording mode, and assuming that no recording files exist
in the memory. For example, if you record one file until the memory is full, you cannot record
further even if you change the file or folder.
Q: Are there any tips to making a good recording?
A: Try a test recording to set the optimum recording mode and sensitivity, since the recording
condition varies with the location and circumstance.
Q: I cannot play back a recorded file that was stored on the PC and transferred
back to the unit.
A: You may have changed the file name on the PC. If you change the file name, the file will not
play, even if it is transferred back into the VOICE folder. However, you will be able to play the
file if you transfer it into the MUSIC folder.
