Preparation Suitable location Do not place the machine on a soft surface (tablecloth, pillow etc.) as this could block the convection vents on the bottom of the unit and result in overheating. Do not cover or insert any objects in the convection vents in the dictation machine's housing. This could destroy the speaker or electronic components. Do not subject the unit to direct sunlight for a prolonged period of time or to temperatures over 95 F/35 C. Furniture is often coated with various types of synthetics and paint that contain chemical additives. These can corrode the material of the machine base and leave marks on the surface of the furniture that may, in rare cases, be very difficult or impossible to remove. Microphone rest The microphone rest can be attached on the left or the right side of the dictation machine. Attachment procedure See figure at the beginning of this booklett. 1. Screw the attachment angle A to the bottom (left or right) of the dictation machine with screw B. Use only the screws provided! 2. Slide rest C onto attachment angle A. GB 5

Recording Dictations Microphone recording sensitivity Select one of the three switch settings on the microphone: ı Private I Normal I Conference Recording distance from microphone (dictation) approximately 10 cm. The machine adjusts automatically to the volume of the dictation when recording. If you speak closely to the microphone, less background noise is recorded. Recording Activating the record function DICT. Press the DICT. button. The record light on the microphone illuminates. Starting to record STOP START Move the slide-switch to the START BACK position.

GB Note: A warning tone indicates that the tape has reached the end. 7
Recording Dictations Repeating short text passages Short rewind START BACK Move the slide-switch into the I BACK position. The tape is briefly rewound. Then the machine switches back into playback mode. Resuming recording DICT. Press the DICT. button. Tape end and tape end switch-off When the counter reaches the position 528 in recording mode, the machine emits a warning tone. When using a microcassette MC-60, this counter position is reached after a recording time of 29 minutes when starting at counter position 0 and recording at a speed of 2.4 cm/s (58 minutes at a speed of 1.2 cm/s). At the tape end the machine switches to stop. 8 Conference recording with the 756 F microphone Recording sensitivity Select one of the three switch settings: ı Private I Normal I Conference (recommended setting) Place the microphone 756 F in the middle of the conference table with the slide-switch facing upward.

Index mark Parts of the tape that have to be corrected can be marked with an index mark either during playback or stop. Note: LETTER INDEX LETTER INDEX Press the at the desired text position. The machine additionally records the index mark without erasing the text. The text passages that are to be inserted can be recorded at the end of the dictation; or on the second side of the microcassette; or on another microcassette (used as a correction tape). Let the person who will do your typing know what to do when an index mark is heard on the tape. Examples: insert correction tape read enclosed index note call back for consultation. GB 9
Counter Operation The typist receives a microcassette which has been recorded by the author and is not rewound. The typist inserts this cassette into the microcassette compartment. This resets the counter automatically to 0. The typist rewinds the cassette to the beginning. For the playback which follows (typing letters), there are two possibilities of using the counter. 1. After being rewound, the counter counts up to»999«. The typist knows at any time that the count difference to 999 must still be typed. 2. The typist knows the counter position of the beginning of every letter and of the entire contents of the cassette from the accompanying note. She resets the counter to 0 (opens and closes the cover). Now she can wind the cassette to the beginning of any desired letter. If the microcassette is rewound to the beginning and the counter is reset, the counting speed is nearly the same as that of a GRUNDIG portable dictation machine. Counter reset When switching the dication machine on and off, the counter is not automatically reset. Resetting the counter (machine switched on): Open the microcassette compartment with the EJECT button and close it by hand. Note: After a power failure the counter is automatically reset. When passing from 999 to 0, the counting speed changes considerably. Then it will increase slowly in the same way as on a GRUNDIG microcassette portable dictation machine. 10
