Deleting  
The DEL button on the DPM can be used for two purposes: deleting a section  
from a sound file and deleting the whole sound file.  
Deleting a section  
To delete a section from the current dictation, follow these steps:  
1. Go to the beginning of a section which is to be deleted by using Fast

DPM 9350/00 - User Manual  
3. Confirm the operation by pressing the DEL button again for at least  
2 seconds and the section is deleted permanently from the file.  
The waste bin symbol indicates that the section has been deleted.  
Deleting a file  
To permanently delete an entire sound file, follow these steps:  
1. If you do not have the file you want to delete already open, go to the file by  
moving the Jog Dial up or down.  
2. Confirm the file selection by pressing the Jog Dial and make sure that the 4-  
Position Switch is in the Stop position.  
3. Press the DEL button for at least 2 seconds.  
An Xsymbol appears at the beginning and the end of the file to indicate that  
the sound file is marked to be deleted.  
4. Confirm the operation by pressing the DEL button again for at least  
2 seconds.  
Note: To cancel any delete operation, move the 4-Position Switch to any  
position. Dictations which have been finished with the EOL (End-of-  
Letter) indication cannot be deleted unless the EOL indication is  
removed from the file.

Recording format (Standard Play/Long Play)  
The recording format (Standard Play and Long Play) determines the recording  
speed and audio quality of the recorded sound files..  
Standard Play mode  
Long Play mode  
The default setting is Standard Play (SP). For more information about changing  
this setting, refer to the corresponding section in the DPM menu chapter in this  
manual.  
Note: Only one format can be selected for each file; the format for a file  
can be changed as long as no recording has been done in the file.  
After recording has been done in the file, it is possible to switch between  
the Standard Play and Long Play audio format on the DPM display. This  
change will not take effect for the current file but from the next new file  
onwards. From that point on, any new files are recorded in the selected  
audio format until the setting is changed again.  
The values for the two formats are as follows:  
Standard Play (SP) 13.7 kbit/s  
With this format, about 156 minutes of recording time are available on a 16 MB  
memory card. This recording format provides excellent audio quality. It is  
recommended when the dictation sound files are used, for example, for speech  
recognition.  
Long Play (LP) 9.1 kbit/s  
This recording format provides good audio quality. With this format, about  
234 minutes of recording time are available on a 16 MB memory card.

DPM 9350/00 - User Manual  
Voice-activated recording  
Voice-activated recording mode is a convenient feature for hands-free dictation.  
When voice-activated recording is enabled, the DPM is in Record Standby  
mode; recording will start automatically when the input level exceeds a certain  
threshold (i.e. usually when you start dictating). This means that recording stops  
a few seconds after you stop speaking and restarts automatically when you start  
speaking again.  
To operate the DPM in voice-activated recording mode, follow these steps:  
1. Enable voice-activated recording in the DPM menu.  
For more information, refer to the corresponding section in the DPM menu  
chapter in this manual.  
2. Make sure that the 4-Position Switch is in the Stop position.  
3. Press the REC button; the device is in Record Standby mode.  
4. Move the 4-Position Switch to the Play position.  
5. Start dictating and recording will start automatically. The symbol for voice-  
activated recording is shown on the DPM display.  
When you stop dictating, the DPM goes back into Record Standby after  
three seconds.  
 
Chapter 4: Basic Operations  
41  
Skip Forward and Skip Back  
The Jog Dial on the DPM supports a skip function for moving between files:  
Before you move the Jog Dial up or down, make sure that the 4-Position Switch  
is in the Stop position:  
Moving the Jog Dial up skips to the end of the current file. Then, moving the  
Jog Dial up will always skip to the end of the next file.  
For example, the current file number is 5. Moving the Jog Dial up goes to the  
end of file number 5. Moving the Jog Dial further up goes to the end of file  
number 6, then to the end of file number 7, and so on.  
Moving the Jog Dial down skips to the beginning of the current file. Then,  
moving the Jog Dial down will always skip to the beginning of the previous  
file.  
For example, the current file number is 5. Moving the Jog Dial down goes to  
the beginning of file number 5. Moving the Jog Dial further down goes to the  
beginning of file number 4, then to the beginning of file number 3, and so on.  
When you want to continue working on a specific file, confirm the file  
selection by pressing the Jog Dial.  
Note: When you skip forward and the last file is reached, a new empty  
file is created automatically.  
If you do not move the Jog Dial for more than 2 seconds, the DPM  
returns to the position prior to moving the Jog Dial.

DPM 9350/00 - User Manual  
Chapter 5: Advanced Operations  
This chapter introduces you to some of the more advanced aspects of the DPM:  
Assigning Keywords  
Transferring data between the DPM and a PC  
Note: These functions are only available when using the DPM 9350/00  
together with DPM Download/Configuration program.  
Assigning Keywords  
The DPM allows you to personalize your dictations via predefined Keywords.  
For this purpose, you create a configuration file on the PC using the  
Download/Configuration program. For DPM 9350/00 this configuration file can  
have up to two Keywords defined to be used on the DPM.  
Keywords are a combination of their usage definition and the content definitions  
for that usage. All this information is stored in the configuration file which is  
transferred to the DPM. On the DPM, the authors can select from the predefined  
entries and assign them to their dictations. These entries are saved together  
with the dictation and can finally be used by the transcriptionist for filtering the  
dictations.  
For more information about DPM Keywords, refer to the DPM  
Download/Configuration Online Help.  
Example: The first Keyword can have the usage Author. The entries, this is the  
content, for this Keyword would then be a selection of author's names: Jones,  
Singh, Watsonetc. The second Keyword can have the usage Subject. The  
entries for this Keyword would then be a selection of possible subject areas:  
Radiology, Surgery, Patientetc. This information is transferred to the  
 
Chapter 5: Advanced Operations  
43  
DPM where the author selects the author name and subject area for each  
dictation.  
To assign Keywords to a dictation, follow these steps:  
1. Press the Jog Dial for about 2 seconds to access the DPM menu and  
display the Keyword's usage definition, for example: Author  
Note: If a Keyword assignment has already been made, the current  
assignment is displayed as the menu entry, for example: AUTHOR:  
Singh  
2. Confirm the Keyword selection by pressing the Jog Dial. The Keyword's  
content definitions are displayed, for example, the author names: Jones,  
Singh, Watson  
3. Move the Jog Dial to scroll to the name you want to assign.  
4. Confirm your selection by pressing the Jog Dial and to return to the DPM  
main menu.  
 
44  
DPM 9350/00 - User Manual  
5. To assign a second Keyword, move the Jog Dial to display this Keyword's  
usage definition, for example: Subject  
6. Confirm the Keyword selection by pressing the Jog Dial. The Keyword's  
content definitions are displayed, for example: Radiology, Surgery,  
Patient  
7. Move the Jog Dial to scroll to the subject you want to assign.  
8. Confirm your selection by pressing the Jog Dial and to return to the DPM  
main menu.  
The selected Keyword definitions will be stored with your dictation. Any new  
dictation you create will be assigned the same information unless you select  
different Keyword definitions.  
You can select different Keyword definitions as long as no recording has been  
done in the file. After recording has been done in the file, it is possible to choose  
different Keyword definitions on the DPM display. These changes will not take  
effect for the current file but from the next new file onwards.  
Note: If the DPM goes into Power Save mode while assigning Keywords,  
the DPM is reactivated in Stop mode. Any unconfirmed Keyword  
assignments will have been discarded. You have to access the DPM  
menu and repeat the Keyword assignment.

Transferring data between DPM and PC  
You can use your DPM as part of the workflow management for exchanging and  
transferring data with the PC. With the DPM Download/Configuration program,  
you make settings and choose options on how to operate the device. This data  
can then be downloaded and is stored on the DPM. With the DPM you create  
your dictations which are then transferred to the PC for further processing.  
Depending on how you have configured the download process with the  
Download/Configuration program, the download process is either started  
automatically or by pressing the DL/S button on the DPM. You can also  
configure whether individual sound files or all of the sound files will be  
transferred from the DPM to the PC.  
To transfer data from the DPM to the PC with the automatic download  
functionality enabled in the DPM Downlod/Configuration program, follow the  
steps below. For more information about the automatic download procedure,  
refer to the DPM Download/Configuration Online Help or the User Manual  
delivered with the CD.  
1. Make sure the DPM is connected to the PC and that the 4-Position Switch is  
in the Stop position.  
The data transfer is started either automatically or by pressing the DL/S  
button on the DPM, depending on how you have configured the download  
process.
