TAPE LOADING
Loading the
AutoLoader 500P
is as simple as inserting a "Normal Bias" tape
cassette into the tape transport and closing the door. The
AutoLoader 500P
detects the presence of the tape and automatically begins the load process.
While waiting for the load to begin, the
Load lamp
flashes slowly. Insert the tape
into the transport, top edge first. If the
Message Preview switch
is On, the
AutoLoader 500P
performs a preview of the audio tape by rewinding the tape,
playing approximately 10 seconds of the audio message, stopping, waiting 5
seconds. This wait provides the user the opportunity to stop tape load by removing
the tape cassette from the transport. After the wait, the tape rewinds and the load
lamp flashes quickly as it awaits audio detection. As soon as audio is detected,
the load lamp becomes solid and recording begins. If the
Message Preview
switch
is in the Off position, the unit will skip the preview, going directly into the
recording process. Once audio information is detected, the
Load lamp
turns on,
indicating that the message is loading. The
AutoLoader 500P
monitors the audio
information on the tape for a 6 second period of silence. This 6 seconds of silence
indicates the end of the audio message, recording is stopped and the last 6
seconds of silence is removed. At the end of message loading, the tape rewinds
and message play begins, indicated by a solid play lamp.
Once loaded and playing, the tape is not required unless a power failure occurs.
Removal of the tape cassette does not affect playing of the recorded message.
Insertion of a cassette, however, causes the
AutoLoader 500P
to stop messages
playing and initiate message loading. It is recommended that the tape be left in
the cassette deck to facilitate automatic message re-load in the event of a
prolonged power outage.
