The pull-out handle under the keyboard makes the typewriter easy to carry. Safety: Your typewriter conforms to all the current safety regulations and requires the precautions recommended for other electrical devices (radio, television, etc.). See the "Technical Data, Norms and Safety Regulations" section for further details. Accessories: the three accessories you need in order to use all the available features are already installed on your typewriter: the daisy wheel, ribbon cartridge and correcting tape. The keyboard The adhesive strip located just above the keys indicates the functions performed by or MODE key together with the keys immediately below the strip. pressing the Press: with the key below the desired function to activate the functions indicated on the bottom line of the strip. I MODE with the key below the desired function to activate the functions on the top line of the strip. I MODE with the relevant key to enter the symbols that appear in italics on the keys (second keyboard). When held pressed, some keys automatically repeat their function until they are released. The display The display has a capacity of 16 characters. It shows the text as it is typed and the messages that will make the typewriter easy for you to use, and has the following structure: I the work area (13 characters), which contains the characters typed, symbols of the commands activated and the operator messages. The character entry point, immediately to the left of the separator, is called the work point; I the separator ||| that separates the work area from the service area and displays the character attributes (underline, boldface etc...) I the service area (2 characters), which contains the character counter or certain symbols. The adhesive strip, located above the display, shows some symbols of functions and operating modes. Below these symbols, the display shows an indication of the active status of the selected function or mode. I To regulate the brightness of the display to one of the three preset levels, press + DISPLAY. The memory Your typewriter has two built-in memories: one is used for correcting errors and the other for storing texts. The latter is called the permanent memory as, when the machine is switched off, it is powered by a battery so that no data is lost. The battery for the permanent memory is optional. It is not supplied with the machine. The battery that powers the memory is not rechargeable and has a life of about five years. We recommend you replace it when there are no texts stored as this operation clears the memory. See the "Replacing the Battery" section for a description of the replacement procedure. 2 Example of main features Aligning words at right margin, page 6 Centring words between the margins page 5 FIG. 3 AUTOMATICALLY LOADING PAPER: 1. 2.
