2.2.3
Using An External Harness
When using an external harness, the ON/OFF slide switch
1
is normally used to automatically power-on the
SSABR unit and start a recording. To prevent a recording from being accidentally started by depressing the
REC/PLAY/STOP button while a harness is attached, the REC/PLAY/STOP button must be held down
for at least two-seconds before a recording will start. This will occur in either Normal Mode or Button
Safeguard Mode. However, stopping the recording is different in each mode.
To stop a recording in Normal Mode
2
:
Slide the ON/OFF switch to the “OFF” position.
To stop a recording in Button Safeguard Mode
2
:
Step 1: Press and hold the REW button until “-go-” appears on the LCD.
Step 2: While continuing to hold the REW button, slide the ON/OFF switch to the “OFF” position.
If an external harness consists of a momentary (push-button) switch instead of a slide switch, it will operate
as an extension of the normal REC/PLAY/STOP button on the SSABR unit. Therefore, refer to the
Sections 2.2.1and 2.2.2 when using an external momentary switch. See Section 8 for detailed information
on construction and connection of external wiring harnesses.
1
The ON/OFF slide switch on the external harness should be clearly marked to indicate when the switch is in the ON or
OFF position.
2
Pressing the REC/PLAY/STOP button will not stop a recording as long as the ON/OFF slide switch is in the ON
position.
