ENGLISH
Your Digta x4015 DS is a digital portable dictation machine. It
can be used with the software supplied as a single-station dicta-
tion system. In addition, with the optional network license, you
can connect it to a network (a local area network with several
authors and typists). To simplify the revision editing of record-
ings, the machine has been provided with functions, such as the
insertion or deletion of text passages. Using a PC, dictations can
be transmitted to a network.
Safety
This digital portable dictation machine has been designed for
voice recording and play-back.
Make absolutely sure that the machine is protected against
humidity (rain, water splashes).
Do not place the dictation machine close to the heating or in
direct sunshine.
You may not open the dictation machine under any circum-
stances.
Opening the device invalidates the guarantee.
Open only the cover of the battery compartment.
Use only a dry cloth for cleaning. Never use chemical cleaning
agents.
Electronic devices such as a digital dictation machine can
suffer malfunctions due to electrical discharge. Very occasion-
ally, a few seconds of text at the point in the dictation you just
recorded may be missing. See also “Ending recording”.
Environmental protection
The batteries – those free of heavy metals as well – must not
be disposed of in the domestic refuse. Used batteries must
be taken to an old battery collection point at the dealer's and
disposed of properly.
This product complies with the EC regulations »89/336/
CEE, 73/23/CEE, 93/68/CEE«.
Subject to technical and visual modifications!
