Maximum recording time
With the ICD-B10, you can record for up to 63 minutes in SP (standard
play) mode and 168 minutes in LP (long play) mode. If you record
messages in a mixture of SP and LP modes, the recordable time varies
from 63 to 168 minutes.
With the ICD-B15, you can record for up to 127 minutes in SP (standard
play) mode and 339 minutes in LP (long play) mode. If you record

Various Ways of Recording
Starting recording  automatically in response to the sound
— Advanced VOR function
When the VOR (voice operated recording) function is set to ON (page 36),
recording starts when the recorder detects sound and stops when no
sound is heard.
Note
VOR function is affected by the sound around you.  Set the microphone
sensitivity (SENS) to either HI (high) or LO (low) (see page 36). If recording is
not satisfactory after you have changed the microphone sensitivity, or for
important recording, set VOR to OFF.
Recording with an external microphone or from other
equipment
Connect a plug-in-power type microphone or other equipment to the MIC
(PLUG IN POWER) jack.
When you connect an external microphone,  the built-in microphone is
automatically cut off. When a plug-in-power type microphone is
connected, power is automatically supplied to the microphone from the IC
recorder.
Adding a recording
To  add a recording to a previously recorded message or to add an
overwrite recording during playback, see pages 21 and 22.
