Setting the Start Signal

The display will show:
Start: Series off-hook
NEXT CHANGE
It is important to know which signal the recorder uses to start and stop a
recording. These are the possibilities:
Phone in series
The telephone has been connected to the Phone port of the recorder. The
recorder reacts to the current that flows from the telephone exchange to the
appliance when the handset is taken off the hook, which is an extremely
reliable method. However, it can only be used when one is recording from the
line.
Phone in parallel
In this case the recorder and the phone have been connected in parallel. The
recorder reacts to the voltage level. It is another very accurate way of
determining the beginning and end of a telephonce conversation. The huge
drawback of this method, however, is that recording starts as soon as the
connection between the recorder and the line is interrupted. For this reason it
is recommended that it should only be used when the recorder has to listen to
a line that may not be led via the recorder. This method can only be used
when recording from the line.
