IMPORTANT: Do not change speed while recording.
Automatic Voice Activated Recording Switch (avr)
The AVR feature allows the recorder to sense sound and to record only
when you are speaking into the microphone. When dictation stops for
approximately 6 seconds, tape operation will stop. Recording will start
again when you resume dictation.
•
On position
—a tape saver. Ideal feature to allow for hands-free
operation during dictation.
•
Off position
—The AVR circuit is disconnected and recording is
continuous when unit is in RECORD mode.
Record with AVR On
1. Place the
AVR
switch in
ON
position.
2. Press the
RECORD
button (
PLAY
button will depress also). Note that
your recorder is equipped with a microcassette sensing mechanism. This
mechanism prevents the
RECORD
button from being pressed when
cassette is not in the recorder. (See Erase Protection.)
3. Select
HI
or
LO
with the MIC sensitivity switch.
4. Adjust the
VOLUME
control so that the sensitivity of the built-in mic is
at the point where your voice level will just activate the AVR feature and
automatically start recording. The first syllable or two may be lost when
you start recording, because this “sound” is used to turn on the AVR
feature. It is a good practice to make some “sound or say a short word to
activate the AVR before you begin actual dictation. Recorder will
automatically stop recording when you cease dictation for a period of
approximately 6 seconds.
5. Push
STOP EJECT
button when finished recording.
Pause Button
This convenient
PAUSE
feature is most helpful while recording because
you can stop the recorder momentarily without resetting the control
buttons. Depress the
PAUSE
button to stop operation in
PLAY
,
RECORD
,
FFWD
, and
REW
modes. Press button again to resume operation. Note
that if the
PAUSE
button is activated (depressed) it can also be
deactivated by pressing the
STOP
button.
