■ Cautions concerning use and storage of the rechargeable Li-ion battery pack
- Do not use the battery with the outer covering or label removed, as doing so may result in malfunction.
• Temperature when using: 5 to 35°C (41 to 95°F)
• Temperature when charging: 5 to 35°C (41 to 95°F) - Do not use the battery pack near fire or inside a car exposed to the hot sun, etc. (Locations in which the temperature reaches 60°C [140°F] or higher.)
- At high temperatures, the safety mechanisms and protective devices inside the battery pack may be damaged, causing an abnormal chemical reaction to occur, or causing the battery pack to catch fire, explode, leak or spew battery fluid, or generate heat. If the safety mechanisms and protective devices are damaged, the battery pack will become unusable.
An environment with extremely high or low temperatures will cause the battery capacity to deteriorate and shorten the usable time, and may even shorten the battery life.
- Avoid storing the battery pack with it near full charge. It is recommended to store the battery pack when it is near fully discharged.
- If the battery pack is completely discharged, it may become unable to be recharged again. To avoid this, charge the battery pack for at least five minutes every six months.
• Storage temperature: 5 to 35°C (41 to 95°F)
When not using the battery pack, remove it from the unit and store at 5 to 35°C (41 to 95°F) in a place with no condensation. Do not keep in a place where the temperature reaches 45°C (113°F) or higher.
• Humidity: 10 to 90% (no condensation)
- Depending on the usage environment, the Li-ion battery pack may expand as it nears the end of its battery life. This is a characteristic of Li-ion batteries and does not pose a hazard.
- Li-ion batteries are consumable products. As you continue to use and recharge the battery pack, the amount of time until the battery pack discharges will gradually shorten. When a fully charged battery pack discharges in less than half the time as at the time of purchase, the battery pack is nearing the end of its battery life. We recommend replacing the battery pack as soon as possible in such cases.
FOR CORRECT USE OF THE UNIT
■ Cautions when cleaning the unit
● Cleaning procedure
① Turn off the unit and remove the battery pack.
② Remove the dirt with a soft cloth.
CAUTION

- Do not spray insecticides or volatile sprays on the unit. Do not let rubber or vinyl objects contact the unit for a long period. They may cause deformation, discoloration, or paint peeling.
■ Caution concerning the battery pack
- Periodically clean with a dry cloth the terminals (contacts) of the battery pack. Do not touch the battery terminals with your bare hands. Doing so will allow contaminants from your hands to adhere to the terminals and oxidize, increasing the contact resistance. If the contact resistance increases, the usable life of the batteries will diminish.
■ When not using the unit for a long period
- Remove the battery pack. However, when the battery pack is removed for a long time, the unit functions may begin to not work properly. Periodically reinstall the battery pack and check the unit functions.
- If the battery pack is left in the unit, a small amount of power is still used even if the unit is turned off. If a rechargeable battery pack is left in the unit for a long period, it may become completely discharged and lose its ability to be recharged again. To avoid this, charge the battery pack for at least five minutes every six months.

E --> H["002A_100101_0000.MP3"]
F --> I["003A_100202_1030.MP3"]
When you divide the file 001A_100101_0000.MP3, a new file 002A_100101_0000.MP3 is created. However, if a file with the same file number already exists in the folder, this file will give up its number to the new file created; instead, it will take on a new file number. In this example, when you divide 001A_100101_0000.MP3, this results in 001A_100101_0000.MP3 and 002A_100101_0000.MP3. In the same folder, the file 002A_100202_1030.MP3 becomes 003A_100202_1030.MP3 automatically.
- The divided parts of a file overlap slightly. The overlap time and recording time required for file division are listed below.

■ Specifying where to output radio broadcast
Radio broadcast can be output to the speakers even when your stereo earphones are connected.
OUTPUT (page 148)
Note:
■ About radio reception
- Because headphones also act as an antenna, be sure to plug the supplied stereo earphones into the headphones socket of the unit. Also, try as much as possible to straighten the cord of the stereo earphones during use. When using the multi-cradle, plug the stereo earphones into the headphones socket of the multi-cradle (ICR-XPS01MF only).
- If you are listening to radio broadcast near a TV, color distortion may occur on the TV or noise from the TV may enter the unit. Therefore, move away from the TV before listening to the radio.
• FM teletext is not supported. - When receiving FM radio, depending on the reception state, noise may make it difficult to listen to the radio. If this happens, change the radio setting's “STEREO/MONO” to “MONO”. Then, because you always get mono sound regardless of the reception state, you may find it easier to listen to the broadcast.
STEREO/MONO (page 149)
About selecting FM station
The unit allows you to select an FM station using one of the following methods.
- PRESET MODE
In this mode, you can select from stations registered in advance using the auto preset function.

About the recording mode during FM radio recording
The sampling frequency automatically changes to avoid noise influence (to 32kHz, 44.1kHz, or 48kHz). However, the recording mode used during FM radio recording is fixed at MP3:128 kbps.
Note:
- If there is a lot of noise during FM radio recording, press the STOP button (☐) to change the "STEREO/MONO" setting to "MONO".
ST: STEREO
MO: MONO
Depending on the reception environment, noise may also be recorded together with FM radio. Also, in a location where radio is weak, even if you can hear good broadcast quality, recording may include noise. For this reason, test the location with trial recording. If the radio is weak and noise is recorded, move to a location which provides good recording, and then record at that location.

Erasing files
About the recycle bin function
If you turn on the recycle bin function, when you erase a file on the unit, it goes into the RECYCLE (☐) folder. Therefore, you can still recover the file from the RECYCLE ☐ folder later. This is very useful when you accidentally erase a file.
When shipped, the unit has its recycle bin function turned on. If you turn off the recycle bin function, when you erase a file or folder, the data is erased from the microSD card so that you can no longer recover it later. To avoid accidentally erasing data, we recommend that you turn on the recycle bin function. (page 152)
- The RECYCLE ( 🔊) folder can hold a maximum of 199 files. If there are already 199 files in the folder, you can no longer erase any file. When this happens, either empty the RECYCLE ( 🔊) folder or recover some of the files from the folder.
Recovering a file from the RECYCLE folder (page 116)
Emptying the RECYCLE folder (page 117) - Regardless of whether the recycle bin function is turned on or off, files stored in the M folder, when erased, do not go into the RECYCLE 📋 folder. Instead, they are completely erased from the unit.
- If there are a lot of files in the RECYCLE ( 🔒) folder, this may slow down the speed. Therefore, we recommend that you regularly empty the RECYCLE folder.
- If the recycle bin function is turned on, when you erase files, the remaining recording time displayed does not increase.
- When a file with index marks is moved to the RECYCLE ( folder, its corresponding index file is also moved to the RECYCLE folder. (However, the index function cannot be used within the RECYCLE folder.)
- When you format a microSD card, all files in the RECYCLE folder are also erased.
- When you turn off the recycle bin function, files already in the RECYCLE ( 🔑) folder are not erased.
- The RECYCLE ( 🔊) folder appears on the list screen as "RECYCLE".
- If there is not enough free memory on the microSD card, you may not be able to move files to the RECYCLE folder.

Using the recording menu ( ^* REC MENU)
REC MODE
You can change the sound quality for microphone recording or line-in recording. This allows you to provide the best sound quality for the particular purpose.
| PCM 44.1kHz | High quality recording ↓ | |
| MP3 | 320kbps | |
| 192kbps | ||
| 128kbps | Standard sound quality | |
| 64kbps | ↑Long recording | |
| 32kbps |
- PCM uses non-compression in recording of all audio data while MP3 uses compression in recording. If you increase the sound quality, this will also increase the data size, thus reducing the possible recording time. Therefore, consider whether sound quality or possible recording time should take priority, and then select the appropriate recording mode.
Recording mode and possible recording time (page 176)
- The selected recording mode appears on the screen.
MIC SENS.
You can change the microphone sensitivity according to the recording situation. Change the microphone sensitivity if you find recorded sound too small or too large.
Microphone sensitivity
