Digital Counter While Dictating

12

3

1The LTR (end of letter) counter: Reference for the number of the LTR signals recorded.

2Tape counter: Numerical reference for recording and listening.

3The SEC (special instructions to secretary) counter: Reference for the number of the SEC signals recorded.

To set the digital counter to zero

We recommend that you press the RESET button before starting dictation. Keep the RESET button pressed for about one second to reset the LTR (document), SEC (special instruction) and tape counters to zero.

Convenient Functions

To record LTR (letter) and SEC (secretary) signals

You can record electronic index signals on the tape while the unit is set in recording (dictation), telephone recording, stop or playback (with the hand control unit) mode.

LTR (letter=end of document) signal: Record at the end of each document.

SEC (secretary=special instructions to secretary) signal: Record before giving instructions to the secretary.

When the AUTO STOP function (see page 13) is activated (AUTO STOP: ON), the tape automatically stops at each index signal when it is rewound or rapidly advanced. Documents and instructions can be located without the user’s having to listen to the entire tape.

Before dictating, press RESET to reset the counters to zero.
