To perform the Check-Out Procedure in the following section and familiarize yourself with the BT-1, it is first necessary to apply 13 volts ± 3 volts to the power input jack on the rear panel of the BT-1. (For the BT-1P. see next paragraph.) This may most easily be accomplished by connecting the output cord attached to the optional AEA model AC-1 or AC-2 wall adaptor power supply to the power socket on the rear panel of the BT-1. -

RECOMMENDED LEARNING PROCEDURE If at all possible, devote at least two 20–30 minute sessions a day to studying with your BT-1 or BT-1P. Each time you miss a day, you will find you have suffered a noticeable setback in your learning of the (Continental) Morse code. - Page 8 The BT-1 and BT-1P are meant to be used as self-paced trainers. Do not be concerned with how others might be progressing. Each student is entirely different. Some may start out learning the first few characters quickly, but then bog down later because of insuffi- cient practice along the way.
- Page 9 START LEARNING Be sure to write down exactly what you hear as you practice. BE SURE to put the spaces in their proper place so that it becomes a good habit. Start your training in the following manner. 01#1 01#1 01#1 1.

Page 12: Learning To Send Morse Code
No mention has been made about learning to send Morse code. Sending is much easier to learn. Your sending should try to duplicate the way the characters are presented by the BT-1. The recommended means of learning how to send in the past has always started with a hand key. -
