You can disable all the buttons (HOLD) in order to prevent unintentional operations when you carry the IC recorder, etc.
Slide the POWER ON/OFF•HOLD switch in the direction of “HOLD” to disable the buttons while the power is on.
“HOLD” and current time appear for approximately 3 seconds, indicating that all the button operations are disabled.
Note
When the HOLD function is activated during recording, all button operations are disabled. To stop recording, cancel the HOLD function first.
The illustrations used in this Help Guide are based on the ICD-SX1000 model. These illustrations may look different from the model you are using, however, the buttons and controls used for operations are the same.
Hint
Even if the HOLD function is activated, you can stop the alarm playback by pressing any button. (You cannot stop normal playback.)
The clock display (12 hour-clock or 24 hour-clock) can be changed using “Time Display” in the menu. (e.g., 12:00 (24 hour-clock) / 12:00 PM (12 hour-clock))
