Serial Number Load and Set
6.
An automatically incremented serial number may be inserted anywhere in any of the ten mes-
sages. It may also be inserted as many times as desired within a message. The serial number
is incremented just as the message is completed.
To insert the automatic serial number during the loading of a message press [*][0]. Insertion of
a serial number in real time memory load will halt the real time loading of the pause. The next
keyed character will restart pause loading. When the power switch is turned on, the serial num-
ber is set to 01.
If the serial number has incremented, it may be reset to 01 in the memory LOAD mode by
pressing [*][*][0].
The serial number may be changed to any number between 01 and 9999 in the keyer memory
send mode by pressing [*][*][0][N][N][N][N][#] where N N N N is the one to four digit serial num-
ber desired.
Example: A starting serial number of 971 is desired. Press [*][*][0][9][7][1][#]. The next serial
number sent will be 971.

7. Extra Word or Character Spaces

In the automatic memory load mode, one word space is loaded after keying is halted. If desired,
additional word (7 space length) or character (3 space length) may entered. Each time [*][*][8]
is pressed, an additional word space will be loaded and each time [*][8] is pressed an additional
character space will be loaded.
Insertion of a word or character space in real time memory loading will stop the real time load of
a pause, the next keyed character will restart pause loading.

Memory Full Warning

8.
When the memory is within about 20 characters of being full, The MEMORY FULL LED will
light. When the memory is completely full, the CW sidetone pitch will decrease. At this point,
load is automatically terminated. If further loading is desired, it will be necessary to erase one of
the other messages.

Semi-Auto (bug) Memory Loading

9.
Messages may be entered in the semi-automatic mode. During memory send, the messages
will be sent with the selected dot and dash ratio and the keyer will revert to automatic operation.
If the paddle has contact bounce, it will be necessary to connect a 1 µF capacitor across the
dash contacts to prevent loading of extra dashes in semi-automatic mode.

Memory Send Operation

Sending a Message

1.
To start any of the ten messages, switch out of the memory LOAD mode and press the digit of
the desired message location. The message will start when the key pad button is released.
Example: To start message 6, press and release [6].

Interrupting and Restarting a Message

2.
A message being sent from memory may be interrupted by pressing the pound sign key [#] or
by tapping either of the keyer paddles. The keyer then enters normal operation and a hand
keyed message may be sent.
The interrupted message may either be restarted at the beginning by pressing the digit of the
message, or resumed from the point of interruption by pressing [*][5]. If the message has com-
pleted, pressing [*][5] will start the next message, except for message 9 (Remember, memories
are numbered 0 through 9).
