Notes for Recording
• If "FULL" appears on the display, you cannot record in the selected
folder. In such a case, erase unnecessary files or download to PC
(VN-1100PC/VN-2100PC/VN-3100PC/VN-4100PC).
• If the recorder is placed directly on a table when recording a meeting,
it tends to pick up table vibrations. Put a notebook or other item
between the table and the recorder so that the vibration is not easily
transmitted for clearer recording.
• Even if you press the DISPLAY button, the display will not change to
current recording time if the remaining recording time is 5 minutes
or less.
• When remaining recording time falls to 1 minute or less, the
Record/Play indicator light flashes red.
• The recorder will enter Stop mode if it has been left paused for
60 minutes or longer.
• In case of difficult acoustic conditions or low speaker's voice,
recording in XHQ or HQ is recommended. Also, usage of an external
microphone (sold separately) could improve the quality of recordings.
• The input level cannot be adjusted on this recorder. When you
connect the recorder to an external device, execute a test recording
and adjust the output level of the external device.
