7.2 Switching the voice recorder o
Hold the button »ON/OFF« apressed down until »O« appears in the display q.
e voice recorder then switches itself o.
7.3 Recording dictation
1Switch the voice recorder on by pressing the button »ON/OFF« once.
As soon as the start screen is shown in the display q:
2Place the multi-function slider hat » STOP«.
3en select, by pressing the function button A w, »NEW«. e voice recorder
now allocates a new dictation reference with a successive number.
‹]NOTICE: ›
Every new dictation recording is saved under a new, successive number. However, take note:The numbering
of saved dictations does not subsequently change when you delete individual dictations.
‹ÚEXAMPLE: ›
You start a new dictation recording.This is automatically assigned the number »DICT«. At a later date you
delete dictation recording »DICT«. When you start a new dictation recording, this one is automatically as-
signed the next following number, »DICT«, although the dictation with the prior number, »DICT«, has
been deleted.
You can however reset the dictate counter back to null. After the resetting of the counter, the subsequent dic-
tations will again be automatically successively numbered, beginning at »DICT«. The resetting of the in-
ternal counter for dictations is explained in chapter . » Resetting the internal dictation counter«.
However, the dictation recording does not start immediately, instead, at rst it is in
a pause-mode. e status lamp »DICT « dblinks; in the display qis indicated:

is started. During the dictation recording the lapsed period of the dictation re-
cording is continuously indicated in the display q. e status lamp »DICT
« dglows permanently during the dictation recording.
‹]NOTICE: ›
Every individual dictation recording can be up to three hours long (insofar as sucient memory space is avail-
able). After three hours a new dictation recording is automatically initiated; thereby, the running dictation
recording is not interrupted.The newly initiated dictation recording receives the same number as the original,
but expanded by a letter. Example After a period of three hours of the dictation recording »DICT«, the new
dictation recording »DICTA« is automatically initiated. In the display qis indicated:

In accord with this pattern, after every further three hours additional dictations are automatically initiated
(e.g. »DICTB«, »DICTC« etc.). For each of these an acoustic signal sounds.
5When you wish to interrupt the dictation recording: Place the multi-function
slider hat » STOP«. In the display q»Record Pause« is indicated, the hith-
erto period of the dictation recording remains shown. For as long as the dicta-
tion recording is interrupted, the status lamp »DICT « blinks.
To continue the dictation recording: Place the multi-function slider hback at
