Using the Recorder
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.
Mic Sensitivity Switch
This two-position switch enables selection between two
microphone sensitivity levels:
• HI —for maximum sensitivity for conferences or
general use.
• LO —for a lower sensitivity level for dictation
purposes.
Record with AVR On
1. Place the AVR switch in ON position.
2. Press 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 (or external) 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 approxi-
mately 6 seconds.
5. Push STOP EJECT button when finished recording.
