[. . . ] The ICD-R100 IC recorder enables you to record and play back oral messages in the built-in IC memory. When a new message is recorded, it is automatically added after the last recorded messages. Unlike with tape recorders, you do not need to worry about recording over previously recorded messages by mistake. Since you do not need to search for the end of the last recording, you can start recording quickly whenever you wish.

First divide the message by adding an index (see page 24) and then follow the steps on page 18 to erase the message. When VOR (voice operated recording) function is set to on, recording starts when the recorder detects sound and stops when no sound is heard. When you record messages with VOR set to ON, the recording pauses when no sound is detected, and "VOR PAUSE" appears on the display window.
