Serial Number Load and Set

An automatically incremented serial number may be inserted anywhere in any of the ten mes-
sages. It may also be inserted as many times as desired within a message. The serial number
is incremented just as the message is completed.

To insert the automatic serial number during the loading of a message press [

*

][0]. Insertion of

a serial number in real time memory load will halt the real time loading of the pause. The next
keyed character will restart pause loading. When the power switch is turned on, the serial num-
ber is set to 01.

If  the  serial  number  has  incremented,  it  may  be  reset  to  01 

in  the  memory  LOAD  mode

  by

pressing [

*

][

*

][0].

The serial number may be changed to any number between 01 and 9999 in the keyer memory
send mode by pressing [

*

][

*

][0][N][N][N][N][#] where N N N N is the one to four digit serial num-

ber desired.

Example: A  starting  serial  number  of  971  is  desired.  Press  [

*

][

*

][0][9][7][1][#].  The  next  serial

number sent will be 971.

7.

Extra Word or Character Spaces

In the automatic memory load mode, one word space is loaded after keying is halted. If desired,
additional word (7 space length) or character (3 space length) may entered. Each time [

*

][

*

][8]

is pressed, an additional word space will be loaded and each time [

*

][8] is pressed an additional

character space will be loaded.

Insertion of a word or character space in real time memory loading will stop the real time load of
a pause, the next keyed character will restart pause loading.

8.

Memory Full Warning

When  the  memory  is  within  about  20  characters  of  being  full,  The  MEMORY  FULL  LED  will
light.  When  the  memory  is  completely  full,  the  CW  sidetone  pitch  will  decrease.  At  this  point,
load is automatically terminated. If further loading is desired, it will be necessary to erase one of
the other messages.

9.

Semi-Auto (bug) Memory Loading

Messages  may  be  entered  in  the  semi-automatic  mode.  During  memory  send,  the  messages
will be sent with the selected dot and dash ratio and the keyer will revert to automatic operation.
If the paddle has contact bounce, it will be necessary to connect a 1 µF capacitor across the
dash contacts to prevent loading of extra dashes in semi-automatic mode.

Memory Send Operation

1.

Sending a Message

To start any of the ten messages, switch out of the memory LOAD mode and press the digit of
the desired message location. The message will start when the key pad button is released.

Example: To start message 6, press and release [6].

2.

Interrupting and Restarting a Message

A message being sent from memory may be interrupted by pressing the pound sign key [#] or
by  tapping  either  of  the  keyer  paddles.  The  keyer  then  enters  normal  operation  and  a  hand
keyed message may be sent.

The interrupted message may either be restarted at the beginning by pressing the digit of the
message, or resumed from the point of interruption by pressing [

*

][5]. If the message has com-

pleted, pressing [

*

][5] will start the next message, except for message 9 (Remember, memories

are numbered 0 through 9).
