your convenience,the recorder also logs the current settings in nonvolatile memory at hourly

intervals.

VN-480/VN-480PC), for the alarm playback function, and for the timer recording (VN-480/

VN-480PC).

When you install batteries for the first time or each time you replace the batteries, the

hour indication will flash. In such a case, be sure to set the time and date by following

steps 5 through 9 described below.

Press and hold the MENU button for

1 second or longer.
