this menu. To turn the Interactive function off, press Previous to reduce (or
Next to increase) the number of words, groups or QSOs. When you reduce the
number below 1 (or increase above 100), Interactive is turned off.
Important:
The
word
"HALT"
must appear on the display
before
pressing either
the Next or Previous button
once-and-only-once
to send anther set
of word(s), group(s) or QSO(s); otherwise, the overall speed will
unintentionally be changed on-the-fly (if it's enabled).
New Play Menu
Pressing the Select button when
"NEW PLAY"
is displayed will begin a new
practice session. From the set you have selected, the unit will send random
practice. All current settings, such as speed, tone, etc., will be in effect for your
practice session. To pause sending, press Select and
"PAUSE"
will appear. To
resume sending, press any button. To stop the session, press and hold Select for
one second (
"STOP"
will appear).
Repeat Play Menu
Pressing the Select button when
"REPEAT PLAY"
is displayed will repeat the
previous practice session. To pause the session, press Select. To stop the
session, press and hold Select for one second. During playback, the sending is
also displayed on the LCD. The length of a session that can be repeated is
unlimited. Repeating a session allows you to recopy the same code to check
your accuracy, perhaps at a slower speed and/or with interactive mode enabled.
Note:
During New or Repeat Play, while the unit is sending, the speed may be
changed during the sending by pressing Next to increase or Previous to
decrease the speed. This feature is called on-the-fly speed changing. By
pressing Next or Previous once quickly, you change the speed by one
wpm. If you hold the button down, the speed continues to change. After
the fifth change, the rate of the speed change will increase. During on-
the-fly speed changes, two numbers will appear on the second line of the
display. The first is the overall speed and the second is the Farnsworth
speed (00 if Farnsworth is disabled). If you bring the overall speed up to
the Farnsworth speed, that will turn the Farnsworth function off. Speed
changes take effect after the button is released and the element in
progress is completed. If you do not want the on-the-fly feature in effect
during your sessions, you may turn it off from within the Setup menu.
Hint:
A short-cut to the
last-used
Play menu is by pressing and holding the
Select button for one second from any
main menu
(no blinking block).
