Preventing inadvertent operations

To prevent an unintended operation from affecting the unit, during recording normally the operation of all controls except the STOP and PAUSE buttons is inhibited.

To prevent even the STOP and PAUSE buttons from operating, switch the KEY INHI switch to ON after starting recording.

At the end of recording, return the KEY INHI switch to OFF, then press the STOP button.
