INTRODUCTION

The Philips Dictation System 725 has been designed with one sole
objective in mind: to make the tasks of dictation and transcription as
convenient as possible for the user.
The 725 can be used for both dictation and transcription. The system has
an LCD display giving you all the information you need about the
system at any time during dictation and transcription.

Please take the time to look through these instructions for use.
The time invested now will be amply rewarded later, since you will be
able to use the 725 quickly and effectively for dictation and transcription
purposes.
Keep these instructions as a handy source of reference about the 725
which you can refer to again in future.

A compact set of instructions for the 725 is provided on a set of self­adhesive labels. You can stick these mini instructions in the language of
your choice inside the cassette compartment lid where you can refer to
them instantly at any time just by flipping open the compartment.
