    3. OPERATION The unit, with antenna(s) and power supply, receives and records signal automatically by the control of APSS when desired channels have been set. 3.1 Description of key Program key : For preparation to mode setting. One of following modes can be selected by pressing key and next, a key.
  • Page 12 Dimmer key : For adjusting a backlight brightness of the LCD indicator, 4 levels selectable. Speed key : For selection of SPD (speed). IOC key : For selection of IOC. Up key : Channel up in the channel mode or frequency up in the frequency mode.
  • Page 13 Channel key : For selection of channel mode from frequency mode, and for shift to the channel setting in the channel mode. For setting a channel, press key and enter channel number with three keys. The channel covers 000 443 (existent frequency) and 450 724 (new frequency).
  • Page 14 3.2 Contrast and brightness Contrast of LCD display depends on the visual angle and the temperature and hence, be sure to adjust it with the contrast knob (see Fig. 1) for optimum result at the time of installation. The backlight brightness of the LDC can be adjusted in four stages by pressing the key.
  • Page 15 3.3.3 Start and stop of recording (1) Start Recording starts automatically (Start/Stop, Phase, Speed, IOC) by receiving the APSS signal. To start halfway of the received picture, press key once and automatic speed setting and auto-phasing mode are set. Then, recording starts upon phasing is completed.
  • Page 16 3.3.6 Selection of reception mode The reception mode refers IOC, speed, and normal/reverse printing and modes. The former two (IOC and speed) are automatically selected by receiving the APSS signal and phase signal. For the latter two modes, desired ones should be selected manually. (1) Speed and IOC When incorrect speed or IOC is selected in manual recording or when auto-recording has...
  • Page 17 3.3.7 Timer release and release of keylock in the timer mode When the timer is in operation (except sleep timer), function of each key (except key) is locked to keep set values and hence, ordinary keying is inhibited. To release this timer or keylock in the timer mode, follow the procedure below. (1) In the timer standby mode (time for the next recording is displayed): Press...

  • Page 23 3.4.7 RAM clearance function The unit has RAM to memorize the frequency data of the FAX transmitting stations in the world and to retrieve such data. Therefore, when a part or all of RAM data is deleted in error so that the initial data in ROM (data at the time of delivery) has to be retrieved, the following procedure is needed to clear the RAM data.
  • Page 24 3.5 Operation with external receiver (1) External receiver When an external receiver is used, it should have a local oscillator with very good frequency stability. The A1 detected beat, a low-frequency output, can be monitored with the unit when the signal is supplied through receiver jack of the external receiver. If the signal is supplied from the speaker terminal, it is suggested to use a dummy resistor and supply signal from both ends of the dummy resistor.
