About This Manual
The instructions in this manual are for the BM-
845D. The main unit is the BM-845. You can use the
BM-845D as a dictator since the BM-845D is
supplied with accessories for dictating. You can also
use the BM-845D as a transcriber if you buy the
accessories for transcribing such as the foot control
unit (not supplied).
Features

845.

during dictating, listening or in the stop mode.
• The REC/ERASE lamp for checking that the
recording or erasing is done.

window informs recording error.
• With the use of the DE-45 or MDR-U10M

recording.
As a transcriber
• The foot control unit (not supplied) allows you to
move the tape without using your hands.

and documents.
• Auto backspace function with the REVERSE
