I hold down record and the led stays on until I unpress it. when I click on play there is a fast beeping, if I keep pushing on play, then I just hear multiple beeping and no led is turned on. when I click on erase the led flashes twice. when I hold down erase, the led flashes about 7 times.

I was once able to record and hear myself with a lot of noise. but I cannot reproduce this.
