Record 178
To record a voice note:
• Press and hold down the voice note button on the external casing of
the MC 218. The red recording indicator LED should come on, and you
can begin to dictate your voice note. If the LED does not come on, release
it again and press it again until you hear a beep.
• Release the voice note button to stop recording.
To add more recording to your voice note.
• Press the voice note button again. New voice note recordings are
always added to the end of any existing voice note recording, so it is not
possible to accidentally record over your existing voice note.
Note! If you run out of disk space while recording, the recording indicator
LED will begin flashing. You will not be able to record more unless you free
some space by exiting another open program or deleting some files.
Important! Note that the machine will remain on after recording a voice note,
for as long as specified for the auto switch-off command. It is best not to set
the auto switch-off time to No if you record voice notes as the MC 218 will
remain on until the batteries are exhausted.
You can play back voice notes.
To play the current voice note:
• Press the button when you have finished recording. To replay the
current voice note at any time from the start, press the button again.
To begin playback from a different position in the voice note file:
• Press the button once to start rewinding in 2-second jumps. Press
the voice note button again to stop rewinding. Press the button to
start playing from the new position in the voice note file.
Note! To rewind straight to the beginning of the file, press and hold down
the button.
The machine will beep when the playback point is at the beginning of the file.
When you press an external voice note button, the Record program opens to
record your voice note.
Voice notes are always added to the Voice notes file, which is stored in the
folder set as the standard folder in the Desktop screen (this is initially the
Documents folder). The Voice notes file can be loaded and used in the Record
program just like any other Record file.
See the built-in help for advanced keypresses.
