Soft key “edt”

Using the “edt” key in playback mode provides the opportunity to edit and manage your message structure. The keys are used to select the following menu items.

Title

Confirming “Title” with the soft key “ok” the selected message’s current name appears on the display. Using the cursor keys lets you enter a name which can consist of up to 8 characters. The soft keys “A-a”are used to toggle between between the upper and the lower letter case while “spc” inserts a blank. After pressing “EXIT” (one menu level down) the question “store y, n” appears, in order to prevent any inadvertent alteration of the name.

Priority

Confirming “Priority” with the soft key “ok”, the priority number of the selected message appears on the display and, by using the cursor keys, providing the user with the possibility to alter the number from 00 up to the his/her priority level. A higher priority prevents unauthorized alteration of this preset by users with lower priority. After pressing “EXIT” (one menu level down) you have to choose on the appearance of the question “store y, n”, whether you want to make your changes permanent.

Play all

Confirming “Play all” with the soft key “ok”, the name of the first message gets displayed. Using the PLAY/STOP-key lets you start or stop the playback of all recorded messages. Mostly, this menu item serves for transferring all recorded messages onto an analog audio tape deck or DAT recorder via the phone/pre-listen outputs.

Release

Confirming “Release” with the soft key “ok”, the display shows that the search for lost blocks in the flash memory (sound memory) has been engaged. Whenever such blocks are found, the memory structure gets repaired which is also indicated on the display. This menu’s operation is used to release memory that has been mistakenly reserved.

Free space

Confirming “Free space ” with the soft key “ok”, the number of available flash memory chips and the overall free sound memory capacity are displayed in %.

Info

Confirming “Info” with the soft key “ok”, shows the audio quality setting and the used space for the previously selected message.

Confirm

The audio data of a message is constantly monitored. In case an inaccurate data structure (see also self-surveillance page 29) is detected, the corresponding message is marked with an asterisk (*). Anyway, if the erroneous data does not affect the audible result of the sound reproduction, “confirming” with the soft key “ok” omits the marking (*). From now on, the actual data is utilized as test pattern and you are given the possibility to acknowledge the fault indication (Power-LED blinks) within the menu “self-test”(page 29).

Check sum

Confirming “Check sum” with the soft key “ok”, the check sum of the previously selected message appears on the display. In case of fault, this value is used as a reference for erroneous messages.

Delete

Confirming “delete” with the soft key “ok”, shows the question “delete?” on the display. Using the soft keys “y=yes, n=no” lets you erase the previously selected message.
