We recommend that you press the RESET button before starting dictation.

counters to zero.
Convenient Functions
LTR (letter) signal
You can record electronic index signals on the tape while the unit is set in
recording (dictation), stop or playback (with the hand control unit) mode.
LTR (letter=end of document) signal: Record at the end of each
document.
When the AUTO STOP function (see page 13) is activated (AUTO STOP:
ON), the tape automatically stops at each index signal when it is rewound
or rapidly advanced. Documents can be located without the user’s having
to listen to the entire tape.
• Before dictating, press RESET to reset the counters to zero.

Press LTR on the hand control unit.
Each time the button is pressed, the LTR lamp
on the BM-845 lights up for about three seconds.

SPEED selector.
