About This Manual
The instructions in this manual are for the BM-850D
and BM-850T. Before you start, please check your
model number.
The main unit is the BM-850 for both the BM-850D
and the BM-850T. You can use the BM-850D as a
dictator since the BM-850D is supplied with
accessories for dictating, while you can use the BM-
850T as a transcriber since the BM-850T is supplied
with accessories for transcribing. Any differences in
operation are clearly indicated in the text, for
example, “BM-850D only”.
If you buy the accessories which your model does
not have, your model works as both dictator and
transcriber.
