Suitable location
Do not place the machine on a soft surface
(tablecloth, pillow etc.) as this could block the con-
vection 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 prolon-
ged period of time or to temperatures over
95°F/35°C.
Furniture is often coated with various types of syn-
thetics 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.
Mains unit 682 connection
To connect the mains unit with the
machine:
push the connector (telephone type
jack) into the socket at the back of
the machine marked ac 9V ˜.
Connect the plug of mains unit
“682 UC” to a a.c. 110 V -120 V, ˜ 50 Hz -60 Hz
electrical outlet.
Connect the plug of mains unit “682 GB” and “ 682”
to a a.c. 230 V -240 V, ˜ 50 Hz electrical outlet.

Parts of the tape that have to be corrected can be
marked with an index mark either during playback or

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 micro-
cassette (used as a correction tape).
Note: 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.

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 begin-
ning. 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 begin-
ning 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):
ɟOpen the microcassette compartment with
the »EJECT ɟ« button and close it by hand.
Note: After a power failure the counter is automati-
cally 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 dic-
tation machine.
