1. OPERATION

1.5.2Selection of desired frequency, fine adjustment of frequency

Frequency may also be entered manually by pressing the FRQ key, and then entering frequency by using the numeric keys and the REV/z key (for entering decimal point). The available frequency range is 2000.0 - 24999.9 kHz.

In the frequency display mode, use the S or Tkey to fine tune a frequency when in the frequency display mode, in resolution of 0.1 kHz. When properly tuned, the center TUNE LED (green) lights. If the upper TUNE LED (red) is lit, use the S key, and if the lower TUNE LED (red) is lit, use the T key.

1.6Automatic Receiving

Once you choose the facsimile station from which to receive, the system goes into standby to await the start signal from the facsimile station. Recording starts when the start signal is received.

1. Press the CH key to show the channel display.

C00*	JMH	3622.5	* Asterisk indicates automatic
S120	I576		frequency selection.

2. Press the S or T key to choose channel desired.

Note: Alternatively, you may enter the frequency of the broadcasting station by pressing the FRQ key and entering frequency with the numeric keys and the REV/z key (for decimal point).

When the start signal is received, the message "AUTO START SEARCHING FRAME" appears and the RCD LED (orange) flashes. Speed and IOC are automatically adjusted when recording starts. The RCD LED lights during recording.

Note: The TUNE LED goes off when the RX level goes below a certain level or the equipment is not receiving. Even if the TUNE LED goes off, the equipment records the fax signal as long as the S/N ratio is suitable. Therefore, this is not a sign of TUNE LED trouble or equipment malfunction.

Stopping recording

Recording stops automatically when the stop signal is received. You may also stop the recording manually by pressing the RCD key. The RCD LED goes off when recording is stopped.

Stopping recording

Recording stops automatically when the stop signal is received. To stop recording manually, press the RCD key. The RCD LED goes off when recording is stopped.

1.8Timer Receiving

Most facsimile stations transmit facsimile images in accordance with a schedule issued by relative meteorological observatory. (You can find facsimile schedules in the publication “Meteorological Facsimile Broadcasts,” available through meteorological observatory bodies.) If you wish to receive a certain facsimile broadcast on a regular basis, therefore, the timer mode will virtually allow you “hands-off” automatic operation. 16 timer programs may be set.
