You can disable all the buttons (HOLD) in order to prevent unintentional operations when you carry the IC recorder, etc.
Slide the HOLD•POWER 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.
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))
