Error: MEMORY FULL is displayed on the Integrated Chip (IC) recorder.

When the MEMORY FULL error displays on the IC recorder, the recorder may be taking some time to retrieve the memory data. Wait a few seconds and then try the operation again. If the MEMORY FULL error continues to be displayed,  then there is insufficient space left in the memory for recording. It will be necessary to erase some of the previous messages before you will be able to continue recording.

WARNING: There is a risk of data loss. Erasing messages will permanently delete the message from the recorder. Any messages you wish to save will need to be backed up to a computer or other external devices.

However, if the unit continues to display MEMORY FULL even after deleting messages from the unit, you will need to perform a format on the device memory by doing the following steps:
