IC Recorder

ICD-PX370

You cannot divide a file.

You need a certain amount of free space in the built-in memory to divide a file.

Because of the system limitations, you may not be able to divide a file at the very beginning or at the very end of the file.

You cannot divide files other than those recorded by the IC recorder (e.g. a file transferred from a computer).
