Assigning a character
If your keyboard layout is not that of an English or
Japanese keyboard, the display may show the wrong
characters, or no characters at all, when you press the keys.
In this case, you must assign characters to the keys.
1While the recorder is stopped, press [Esc] twice.
“Setup Menu” appears in the display.
2Press [↑]/[↓] or [Tab]/[Shift]+[Tab] repeatedly until
“Keyboard?” appears; press [Enter].
3Press [↑]/[↓] or [Tab]/[Shift]+[Tab] repeatedly until
“Assign?” appears; press [Enter].
4Press [↑]/[↓] or [Tab]/[Shift]+[Tab] repeatedly until
the character you want to assign appears.
If the character has already been assigned, “User”
appears. If it has not been assigned, “Default” appears.
5Press [Enter].
“<Set Key>” flashes in the display.
6Press the key to be assigned on the keyboard.
“Key change” appears, and the selected character is
assigned to the key.
If “Same Key” appears
The same character is already assigned to the key.
If “Remove old assign?” appears
A different character is already assigned to the key.
Press [Enter] to clear the current assignment and assign
the new character. Press [Esc] to cancel.

and number keys.
