A microSD card that the IC recorder does not support is inserted.

(See “About compatible microSD card”)

Read Only microSD Card

A read-only microSD card is inserted. A read-only microSD card cannot be used with the IC recorder.

Memory Full

The remaining memory capacity of the IC recorder is insufficient. Erase some files before recording.

(See “Erasing a file”)

File Full

When there are already the maximum number of files in the selected folder or the total number of files stored on the IC recorder has exceeded the maximum, you cannot record a new file. Erase some files before recording.

(See “Erasing a file”)

Settings are Full

You cannot play back or edit files, because the data of the selected file is damaged.

Built-In Memory Needs to be Formatted / microSD Card Needs to be Formatted

The IC recorder cannot be turned on using the computer because there is no copy of the control file required for operation. Format the IC recorder using the formatting function in the menu. Do not use your computer to format the IC recorder.

(See “Formatting the memory (Format)”)

Process Error

• The IC recorder failed in memory access. Remove and then re-insert the battery.
• Save a backup copy of your data and format the IC recorder using the menu.

  (See “Formatting the memory (Format)”)

Stop and Reinsert microSD Card

Set Date&Time

Set the clock; otherwise, you cannot set the alarm.

No File

The selected folder does not have any files. You cannot move a file or set the alarm, etc., because of this.

No Track Marks

You set the alarm when the time has already passed. Check it and set the appropriate date and time.

(See “Playing back a file at a desired time with an alarm”)

Unknown Data

• This data is not in a file format that is supported by the IC recorder. The IC recorder supports LPCM(.wav)(ICD-UX533/UX533F/UX534F only)/MP3 (.mp3)/WMA(.wma)/AAC-LC(.m4a) files.

  (See “Design and specifications”)

• You cannot play back copyright protected files.

Invalid Operation

• You cannot divide or set a track mark in files in the folder in the playback-only area (the tab and the tab).
• When a microSD card has a bad block on it, the card cannot be written to. Prepare a new microSD card to replace the current one.
• The file name has reached the maximum number of characters; you cannot divide the file. Shorten the file name.
• The “Divide All Track Marks” function cannot be used because there is a track mark within 0.5 seconds from the dividing position.
• The “Divide All Track Marks” function cannot be used because there is a track mark within 0.5 seconds from the beginning of a file or the end of a file.
• The file length is less than 1 second; you cannot divide such a short file.
• The “Divide Current Position” function cannot be used at a position within 0.5 seconds from the beginning of a file or the end of a file.

New File

The file being recorded has reached the maximum size limit (2 GB for an LPCM file (ICD-UX533/UX533F/UX534F only), and 1 GB for an MP3 file). The file will be divided automatically and recording will continue as a new file.

Invalid when Noise Cut is ON

When “Noise Cut” in the menu is set to “Auto,” “Maximum,” or “Medium,” the effect function does not work. Set “Noise Cut” to “OFF.”

(See “Erasing a file”)

Same File Name Exists

A file of the same file name already exists in the folder, so a file cannot be created or renamed.

Erased Track Marks too near Divide Point

When there is a track mark set within 0.5 seconds from the dividing position, the track mark is automatically erased.

No operation with microSD Card

You cannot set an alarm in a file stored on a microSD card. Switch the memory media of the IC recorder to “Built-In Memory.”
