Dictating
Useful Functions
x LTR (letter) signal
You can record electronic index signals on the tape with the HU-80 while the unit is set in the
recording (dictating), telephone recording, stop or playback mode.
LTR (letter=end of document) signal: Record at the end of each dictated material.
When the Auto stop function (page 18) is activated (AUTO STOP:ON), the tape automatically stops at
each index signal when it is rewound or fast forwarded. Dictated material can be located without the
user’s having to listen to the entire tape.
To record the LTR signal
Press the LTR button on the HU-80.
Each time the button is pressed, the LTR INDEX lamp (BM-87DST) lights up for about 3 seconds.
Notes
• The LTR signal should be recorded with the intervals of more than 6 seconds.
• Playback sound is muted while the LTR signal is recorded. However, the recorded material will be
protected.
• While the LTR signal is being recorded with the SPEED CONTROL selector set to ON, the tape will
run at the normal tape speed.
x Monitoring while dictating
The recording can be monitored through the headphones. Connect the supplied stereo headphones to
the i jack located on the left side of the unit. You can hear the sound in stereo through the stereo
headphones. The sound is monaural through the built-in speaker. Adjust the VOLUME monitor if
necessary.
