All functions are triggered by a single key press with the exception of recording. To begin recording, first press play
[3]. The play relay will lock down for two seconds allowing record [1] to be pressed. The keys must be pressed in this
order or the audio will not be switched to the proper mode for recording. Most machines will recognize clear leader as
end of tape. Use it at both the head and tail of the tape to prevent it from winding off the reel.
When the record button [1] is pressed, a constant contact closure is provided that will not clear until LL1 is tripped.
This can be used to activate an alert lamp in the studio that lights when something has been recorded. A momentary
push button connected from LL1 to ground at the studio will clear the activity lamp.
