Your Digta 3010 is a digital portable dictation machine. It can be
used as a single-station dictation system with the Steno.trans software supplied. In addition to this it can connect to your network
(local areanetwork with several authors and transcribers) using the
StenoNet.mail software.
To simplify the revision editing of recordings, the machine has been
provided with functions, such as the insertion or deletion of text
passages. Using a PC, dictations can be transmitted via a
network.
Safety
This digital portable dictation machine has been designed for the
recording and play-back of voice.
Make absolutely sure that the machine is protected against dampness (rain, water splashes).
Do not place the dictation machine close to the heating or in direct
sunshine.
You may not open the dictation machine under any circumstances.
Opening the device invalidates the guarantee.
Open only the cover of the battery compartment.
Use only a dry cloth for cleaning. Never use chemical cleaning
agents.
Environmental protection
The batteries – those free of heavy metals too – must not be disposed of in the domestic refuse. Used batteries must be taken to an
old battery collection point at the dealer’s and disposed of
properly.
CE This product complies with the EC regulations »89/336/CEE,
73/23/CEE, 93/68/CEE«.

MultiMediaCard or SecureDigital Card
We recommend commercially-available MultiMediaCard/
SecureDigital Card (MMC/SD) from various manufacturers
(SanDisk, Intel, Infineon, Panasonic SDCard etc.) with a memory
capacity of max. 32 MB.
Make absolutely sure that the electrical contacts at the bottom side
of the MultiMediaCard/SecureDigital Card are not exposed to
strong mechanical stress.
The cards are insensitive to dirt and moisture but must nevertheless
be introduced into the machine in dry and proper condition.
New MultiMediaCard/SecureDigital Card must be formatted before writing is possible. It is essential that the notes in the chapter
”MENU FUNCTIONS – Format memory” be observed.
Note:
Do not remove the cards during dictation or during data
transfer from PC or to PC. This can result in data loss.

Battery operation
The dictation machine can be used for approximately 12
hours when the alkaline manganese batteries are fully
charged.
1 Open the battery compartment.
2 Insert batteries (Mignon types, e.g. R6, UM3 or AA,
2 x 1.5 V). Make certain the polarity is correct.
Note:
A signal will be omitted when batteries are weak (but not
during recording). The battery symbol flashes on the
upper right edge of the display. You will still be able to dictate for a few minutes until the dictation machine automatically switches off.
Mains operation
If the dictation machine has been switched on and is
connected to a charging unit, the unit will supply the dictation
machine with power. Inserted batteries or rechargeable
batteries will be neither used nor charged. The battery or
rechargeable battery symbol disappears.
Safety hints for power supply/charging units
472/473 (Accessories)
Before putting the machine into operation, please ensure that
the supply voltage corresponds to the input voltage specified
on the power unit. A temperature rise in the housing during
operation is normal and no cause for concern. During operation, the charging unit should have good ventilation and
should not be used in the vicinity of radiators or in direct sunlight.
Maintenance: Only a dry cloth should be used to wipe off the
unit. Do not use solvents.

Rechargeable battery operation
Operation using rechargeable batteries
To ensure smooth operation using rechargeable batteries, you
should always switch off the dictation machine once the
dictation is complete and reconnect it to the power supply so
that it can be recharged.
– Display for operation with rechargeable batteries» «.
Inserting rechargeable batteries
Only Grundig rechargeable batteries 462 may be charged
inside the dictation machine using power supply/charging
units 472/473.
1 Switch off the dictation machine.
2 Open the battery compartment.
3 Insert the rechargeable batteries, making certain that
polarity and position are correct. Insert the rechargeable
battery with the removed sheathing into the compartment
with the lateral charging contact (see figure).
Warning:
Never place a standard battery together with a recharcheable battery in the battery compartment.
This can destroy the battery.
ENGLISH

PREPARATIONS
________________________________________
Warning:
The dictating machine gives an optical and audible warning of weak rechargeable batteries. This is however only
the case when using Grundig 462 rechargeable batteries.
When using Grundig 462 rechargeable batteries there is
also the guarantee that if the batteries may become completely drained the current task will be stopped in good
time, and the dictation saved.
As a result of technical differences between Grundig
rechargeable batteries and some other makes, it is possible that part or all of the dictation could be lost if original
Grundig rechargeable batteries are not used.
Rechargeable batteries from other manufacturers are
identified by the dictation machine as non-rechargeable
batteries, and shown in the display by the » « symbol.
Charging the rechargeable battery
1 Switch off the dictation machine.
2 Plug the power supply into a wall outlet.
3 Plug the power supply cord into the »3V
–
---
0.35A« dictation machine socket.
– The charging indication will be displayed after a short
time.
– The empty rechargeable batteries will be recharged
after approximately 3 hours; the charging indication
then disappears.
4 Disconnect the power supply from the wall outlet and
remove the power supply cord from the »3V

Notes on Grundig rechargeable battery 462
New rechargeable batteries do not reach full capacity until
they have been recharged several times. For this reason the
operating time for new rechargeable batteries is a maximum
of 3 hours.
When these batteries are fully charged, you can use the
dication machine up to 7 hours.
The rechargeable batteries’ charge state is shown on the
dictation machine display.
– » « Rechargeable batteries charged;
– » « After approx. 2 hours operating time;
– » « After approx. 4 hours operating time;
– » « After approx. 7 hours operating time.
If the rechargeable batteries were completely recharged, a
brief warning beep (rechargeable battery/battery warning)
will sound after 7 hours operating time. During recording
mode, operation will automatically switch over to play mode.
The » « rechargeable battery symbol will flash on the display. You will still be able to dictate for a few minutes before
the dictation machine automatically switches off. We recommend either starting the charging process after the warning
beep or to use the power supply to operate the dictation
machine.
The rechargeable batteries will not be charged if the dictation
machine has been switched on and connected to the power
supply. You are now using the dictation machine in mains
operation.
The dictation machine’s operating system is ”shut down”
(as for a PC) when it is switched off. Sufficient power must still
be available for this purpose. If, after the dictation machine
has automatically switched off, you switch it back on again
without plugging in the power supply or if the rechargeable
batteries have not been recharged, your saved dictations may
be permanently lost.

Fitting the MultiMediaCard
1 Insert the MultiMediaCard into the card compartment with
its skewed side pointing in the direction shown in the display and at the rear of the dication machine.
Note:
Do not apply force wihen inserting the card. A slight
pressure is sufficient.
You may use any commercial MultiMediaCards of any
capacity available.
Formatting the MultiMediaCard
MultiMediaCards – including those which have been preformatted – must first be formatted with the dictation machine
prior to writing.
If an error message appears after a non-formatted
MultiMediaCard is inserted, confirm with the »OK« button.
The »Format card?« and »Card formatted« are confirmed using the »OK« button as well.
The MultiMediaCard may not be formatted as a removable
disk with a PC formatting function.
New MultiMediaCards may only be formatted using the
”Format card” menu function. It is essential that the notes
in the chapter ”MENU FUNCTIONS – Format card” be
observed.
We recommend reformatting the MultiMediaCard on the
PC once it has been copied several times. The
MultiMediaCard is defragmented during formatting. Access
to succeeding dictations is then faster – especially when
MultiMediaCards are full.

COMMUNICATION WITH THE PC
___________
Steno.trans
The Steno.trans software is used to transfer your dictations to your
PC. You obtain an immediate overview of your work and can also
play-back your dictations on a notebook. For example, transfer
your dictations to a voice recognition system or send Voice Mails
via your mail system.
StenoNet.mail
If your office organization uses the StenoNet digital dictation
system, Digta and the StenoNet.mail software will bring you network mobility.
All addresses of your authors and typists are available for sending
your dictations. You mark your dictations, for example, with the
dictation type, deadline and priority, in order to perfectly organize
your transcription service. If all dictations have the same priority,
you simply plug the USB cable into the Digta. With the simple pressure of a button all dictations are sent to the preselected typist. Your
Digta is immediately free for further dictations.
System requirements for Steno.trans and
StenoNet.mail
Pentium processor (500 MHz or higher)
WIN 98 SE/ME operating systems,
preferably WIN NT4.0/2000/XP
USB 1.1 or 2.0 serial interface
For e-mail connection: MAPI-compatible mail system
(such as Microsoft Outlook)
The Windows NT operating system does not support a USB port.
To be able to use the digital dictation machine with WinNT, you
need the optional “Grundig USB Driver for WinNT”.

Connecting the dictation machine with the PC
and disconnecting it
1 Connect the dictation machine via the USB interface with
the PC.
2 Use the »ON/OFF« button to switch the dictation
machine on.
– During data transfer the red recording indicator is
blinking.
Warning: Disconnect the USB interface only via the task bar as
otherwise the data transfer may be incomplete.
You should not transfer dictations when the batteries
are weak as weak batteries distroy the dictation.
Note: Steno.trans and StenoNet.mail can each be connec-
ted only to one dictation machine. If a 2nd dictation
machine is connected to the USB interface, this is not
recognized by the PC, that is, only one removeable
disk drive appears under Windows

The firmware update may be used to keep your dictation machine
in step with the latest developments (firmware = device software).
You will find the current firmware version in the Internet.
The enclosed CD includes the firmware current at the time of
delivery.
Carrying out a firmware update
1 Switch on the PC and start Windows.
2 Use the USB cable to connect the dictation machine to
the PC.
3 Either switch on the dictation machine or use »ON/OFF«
to switch over to PC operation.
– The dictation machine is identified by the PC as a remo-
vable disk.
Note:
If your PC does not have a USB (e.g. Windows NT), you
may also use a card reader to copy the firmware onto the
MultiMediaCard. Make certain that the MultiMediaCard
has already been formatted in the dictation machine.
Firmware updates should only be carried out using MultiMediaCards which were working in your dictation machine before the update (e.g. the MultiMediaCard which was
included with the equipment).
4 If you go to the » «
in the download files and to the »Digta3010« or
»Digta4010« folder on the enclosed CD, you will find
two hex files (gh3010.hex or gh4010.hex and
updatelo.hex).
Copy these two files to the »SYSTEM« folder in the
dictation machine drive (removable disk).
5 The dictation machine’s recording LED flashes during
transfer. Wait until data transfer is complete.
