around the linear PCM recorder.
Slide the HOLD switch to [HOLD].

While the linear PCM recorder is turned on, sliding the HOLD switch to [HOLD] displays [HOLD] and the current time for
about 3 seconds on the display window, indicating that all the buttons on the linear PCM recorder are disabled.
Note
Placing your linear PCM recorder into the HOLD state disables all the buttons. Be sure to release it from the HOLD state before you use
the linear PCM recorder again.
The clock may tell the time either in 12-Hour format with [AM] or [PM] or in the 24-Hour format, depending on the selected clock display
format (Time Display) on the Settings menu. In addition, the default clock display format depends on the country or region of your
purchase.
Hint
You can still operate the following controls while the HOLD function is active:
REC LEVEL dial
POWER switch
INPUT switch
MIC/LINE INPUT LEVEL switch
Phantom power switches
XLR/TRS INPUT LEVEL switches
MIC ATT switch
