Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Before taking the IC recorder for repair, check the following sections. Should any problem persist after you have made these checks, consult your nearest Sony dealer. IC recorder Symptom Remedy The IC recorder cannot be turned off. Slide the HOLD switch in the direction of the arrow when the IC recorder is stopped (page 16). The IC recorder cannot be turned on. The HOLD switch is set. Slide the HOLD switch in the direction opposite that of the arrow (page 16).
Remedy The operation indicator does not light. “LED” is set to “OFF” (page 61). Display the menu and set “LED” to “ON.” “FULL” is displayed and you cannot start recording. The memory is full. Erase some of the messages (page 47). “FULL” is displayed and you cannot operate the IC recorder. 99 messages have been recorded in the selected folder or 495 messages (when there are 5 folders) in total have been recorded. Therefore you cannot record another message, or move a message.
Symptom Remedy When recording from other equipment, the input level is too strong or not strong enough. Connect the headphone jack of other equipment to the (microphone) jack of the IC recorder and adjust the volume level on the equipment connected to the IC recorder. Playback speed is too fast or too slow. The playback speed is adjusted in DPC. Adjust the speed in DPC again in the menu (page 40). “--:--” is displayed. You have not set the clock (page 14).
Symptom Remedy It takes a long time for the IC recorder to start. If the IC recorder is required to process a large amount of data, it may take longer for the IC recorder to start. This is not a malfunction of the IC recorder. Wait until the start-up display disappears. The IC recorder does not operate correctly. Take out the batteries and insert them again (page 11). Please note that recorded messages may be erased during service or repair work.
Error message Cause/Remedy PRE SET You set the alarm when you have already set it previously. Check the setting and set the appropriate date and time. BACK-D You set the alarm when the time has already passed. Check the setting and set the appropriate date and time. You selected a message that has been locked. You cannot add a new message to it, cannot orverwrite it, and cannot erase it. Set “LOCK” to “OFF” in the menu before erasing the message.
System limitations There are some system limitations of the IC recorder. Troubles as mentioned below are not malfunctions of the IC recorder. Symptom Cause/Remedy You cannot record messages up to the maximum recording time. You cannot specify the finishing point B. If you record messages in a mixture of SHQ, HQ, SP or LP modes, the recordable time varies from the maximum SHQ mode recording time to the maximum LP mode recording time.
