Adjusting memory
If your P/PC runs out of memory while recording, you hear
several beeps and see an out-of-memory message on your screen.
You can adjust the allocation of memory on your P/PC by tapping
Start, Settings, System, and then the Memory tab.
If you run out of memory frequently, use a CompactFlash
Memory Card for storing files that you rarely need. For more

Tap the Tools menu, and then tap Options.

On the General tab, tap the Save to storage card

To switch between the PCM and Mobile Voice formats, tap Tools
and then tap Recording Format.

Voice codec by installing ActiveSync (see the Installing
