•• How to record longer messages:

There are two way for the user to record messages that are longer.  These methods can either be used individually or in combination.  These methods are:


• Method 1: More Memory

The VoiceCalendar memory partition size is 400 kilobytes.  Increasing this value would result in more memory to be used for recording.  To change the partition to a higher level follow these steps:
1) Select the VoiceCalendar application icon by clicking on it once.
2) From the finder's "File" menu select the "Get Info" menu item. 
3) In the box labeled "Preferred Size" enter a number greater than 400 for example, 600.
4) Click in the go-away box of the Get Info window.
5) Start the VoiceCalendar application.


• Method 2: More Compression

The default compression level for VoiceCalendar is 3 to 1.  By increasing to 6 to 1, user can double the record time.  On the other hand, if user chooses to turn compression off for more fidelity the record time is cut to 1/3.  For more detailed explanation of the compression feature see the section on "Compression Menu".

It is suggested that the user experiment and using either or both methods to achieve a combination of memory size and compression level best suited for their needs.
