3.7.6. Edit Mode – Insert, Overwrite, Append.
Insert mode means that the newly recorded speech is inserted at the current position in the sound
file. Any existing recorded speech is preserved.
Overwrite mode means that the newly recorded speech replaces existing recorded speech at that
position in the sound file. The default setting is Overwrite mode.
Append mode means that the newly recorded speech is added to the end of the sound file. Any
existing recorded speech is preserved.

3.7.7. Index / Spoken instructions

Depending on the recorder which is connected, this setting defines that the Index button on the
recorder records a special instruction or a spoken instruction or sets an Index marker when it is
pressed during recording.
Note:
If you press the button for a short time no spoken instruction is created. If you keep the button
pressed, a spoken instruction with zero length is created; this means that an Index marker is set.

3.7.8. Device beep

The recorder provides an audio signal (beep) when certain operations are completed, for example
after you played back a dictation. If the setting is not activated, the recorder only provides an audio
signal when you receive a warning, such as when the batteries are low or when you press a button
that does not have any function.
