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. Backup recommendations 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. Troubleshooting Before taking the unit for repair, check the following sections. Should any problem persist after you have made these checks, consult your nearest Sony dealer. The unit does not operate. • The batteries have been inserted with incorrect polarity. • The batteries are weak. • The buttons are locked with the HOLD switch. (If you press any button, "HOLD" will flash three times.) No sound comes from the speaker. • The ear receiver or headphones are plugged in. • The volume is turned down completely. "FULL" is displayed and you cannot start recording. • The memory is full. Erase some of the messages. • 99 messages has been recorded in the selected folder. Select another folder or erase some of the messages. Noise is heard. • An object, such as your finger, etc., accidentally rubbed or scratched the unit during recording so that noise was recorded. • The unit was placed near an AC power source, a fluorescent lamp or a mobile phone during recording or playback. • Plug of the connected microphone was dirty when recording. Clean the plug. • Ear receiver/headphones plug is dirty. Clean the plug. Recording level is low. • Slide MIC SENS to "HIGH". Recording is interrupted. • The advanced VOR function is activated. Set VOR to "OFF". Recording level is unstable (when recording music, etc.). • This unit is designed to automatically adjust the recording level when recording meetings, etc., and is not suitable for music recording. "--Y--M--D" or "--:--" is displayed. • You have not set the clock. "--Y--M--D" or "--:--" is displayed on the REC DATE display. • The date and time of recording will not be displayed if you recorded the message when the clock was not set. You cannot divide a message. • You cannot divide a message in a folder which has 99 messages. • If you divide messages frequently, the unit may become unable to divide a message. • You cannot divide a message in the first or the last 1 second of a message. You cannot record messages up to the maximum recording time. • If you record messages in a mixture of HQ, SP and LP modes, the recordable time varies from the maximum HQ mode recording time to the maximum LP mode recording time. • No more recording can be made when 99 messages each have been recorded in a folder. • Due to the limitation of the IC recording system, this unit records in the minimum recording unit. If the length of each message cannot be divided by the minimum recording unit, the remaining recording time may decrease by more than the total length of the messages. The remaining time displayed in the display window is shorter than that displayed in the supplied "Digital Voice Editor" software. • The unit requires a certain amount of memory for system operation. That amount is subtracted from the remaining time, which is the reason for the difference. The unit does not operate correctly. • Take out the battery and insert it again. Please note that recorded messages may be erased during service or repair work.
