17.2.3.3 Volume Control.
The FM Radio volume controls are:
Louder: ENTER with dots 4-6.
Softer: ENTER with dots 1-3.
They operate independently from the speech volume, in that you can change the volume without
changing the volume of the speech. The speech volume is still the "master volume", so if you adjust
the speech volume, the FM Radio volume will change relative to it.
This relativity is a useful feature as it means that if you wish to turn down the volume of both
speech and radio at the same time, you can do so with one action. For example, if you are listening
to the radio while writing an essay and someone addresses you, you can turn down the speech
volume, keep working, and still conduct a conversation.
If you wish to increase the relative volume of the voice to the FM Radio, that is, you want to make
the speech louder or softer without making the FM Radio louder or softer at the same time, you can
adjust it independently by pressing BACKSPACE with ENTER with R, then select
"Speech Volume Level?" Select a number between 1 and 5, 5 being the loudest. The default setting
is 3.
17.2.4 Recording a Memo.
There are two methods available for making a recording. The first method is useful if you wish to
change microphones or are not sure which microphone is set as the default. The second method is
useful if you are confident all the settings are as you wish them to be.
Method 1:
1. From the Main Menu, select Media Center.
2. From this menu, select "Record a memo."
3. The Recorder prompts, "Start recording using internal microphone?" unless you have
already changed the default microphone to external in the set up options. To start recording with
the offered microphone, press ENTER, or Y, or the Record button. If you are using the external
microphone you will need to plug it in first. Note: The Record button works with the selected
input source in this instance.
4. You will hear a beep, which indicates that it is time to start recording. KeySoft will otherwise
remain silent during recording.
5. To stop the recording, press ENTER or Y, or the Record button. Two beeps confirm that
recording has ceased, and KeySoft will repeat the prompt:
"Start recording using internal microphone?". Note: The Record button works with the
selected input source in this instance.
