To play the divided message  
You need a certain amount of free space in  
the memory to divide a message. For more  
information, seeSystem Limitationson  
page 105.  
Press or to display the message  
number, as the divided messages now  
each have message numbers.  
When you divide a message with a title and  
artist name, the newer part has the same  
title, artist name, and file name.  
You cannot divide a message other than the  
one recorded using the IC recorder (MP3/  
WMA file transferred from a computer).  
Once a message is divided, you cannot  
combine divided messages using the IC  
recorder.  
If you divide a message frequently, the unit  
may become unable to divide the message  
further.  
If you divide a message with an alarm  
setting, the same alarm setting remains only  
with the former message divided.  
You cannot divide a message at the very  
beginning (0.5 seconds from the beginning)  
or at the very end (0.5 seconds prior to the  
end) of the message.

Tips on using the IC recorder  
Creating a user file adapted  
to your recorded speech  
(Training)  
When transcribing messages recorded  
using the IC recorder, the following  
tips will help you obtain maximum  
recognition accuracy.  
What isTraining”?  
Before you can transcribe  
Set “REC MODE” to “ST,“STSP,”  
“STLP” or “SP” in the menu.  
When creating a user speech file  
(training), setREC MODEto the mode  
you normally use for voice recognition  
software.  
recorded messages using Dragon  
NaturallySpeaking, you must create a  
user file specifically adapted to the sound  
of your recorded speech. This procedure  
is calledtraining.”  
When training is complete, Dragon  
NaturallySpeaking creates a user speech  
file containing information about your  
recorded speech.  
Set “MIC SENSITIVITY” to “LOW (L)”  
in the menu.  
Hold the IC recorder firmly and  
start recording.  
Hold the IC recorder so that the  
microphone is about an inch (2 - 3 cm)  
from the corner of your mouth, not  
directly in front of it. This minimizes the  
sound of your breath in the recordings,  
enabling maximum recognition  
accuracy.  
Refer to the operating instructions  
or the help supplied with Dragon  
NaturallySpeaking, as some parts of  
training are the same as those required  
for dictating directly to the computer  
using a headset microphone.  
Even if you have already created a user  
speech file with a headset microphone,  
you should create a separate speech  
file for the IC recorder to get better  
recognition accuracy.  
Note  
Avoid recording in a noisy place, such as on a  
subway platform, in order to obtain maximum  
recognition accuracy.

During recording (the operation indicator  
lights or flashes in red) or accessing data (the  
operation indicator flashes in orange),  
Precautions  
the IC recorder should not be connected  
to or disconnected from the USB AC  
adaptor connected to the AC outlet.  
the USB AC adaptor connected to the IC  
recorder should not be connected to or  
disconnected from the AC outlet.  
On power  
Operate the unit only on 1.5 V or 1.2 V  
DC. Use one NH-AAA rechargeable  
battery or one LR03 (size AAA) alkaline  
battery.  
Doing so may damage the data. If the  
IC recorder is required to process a large  
amount of data, the start-up window may  
be displayed for an extended period of time.  
This is not a malfunction of the IC recorder.  
Wait until the start-up display disappears  
from the display window.  
While a USB AC adaptor (not supplied) is  
being used, the remaining battery/charging  
indicator does not appear in the display  
window.  
On safety  
Do not operate the unit while driving,  
cycling or operating any motorized  
vehicle.  
On handling  
Do not leave the unit in a location  
near heat sources, or in a place subject  
to direct sunlight, excessive dust or  
mechanical shock.  
Should any solid object or liquid fall  
into the unit, remove the battery and  
have the unit checked by qualified  
personnel before operating it any  
further.

10ꢆ  
 
On noise  
Backup recommendations  
Noise may be heard when the unit  
is placed near an AC power source, a  
fluorescent lamp or a mobile phone  
during recording or playback.  
To avoid potential risk of data loss  
caused by accidental operation or  
malfunction of the IC recorder, we  
recommend that you save a backup  
copy of your recorded messages on a  
tape recorder or to a computer, etc.  
Noise may be recorded when an  
object, such as your finger, etc., rubs or  
scratches the unit during recording.  
On maintenance  
To clean the exterior, use a soft cloth  
slightly moistened in water. Do not use  
alcohol, benzine or thinner.  
If you have any questions or problems  
concerning your unit, please consult your  
nearest Sony dealer.
