Programming a dictaphone
Posted By: Grec on 2005-08-06
In Reply to:
I have a dictaphone, model 0421, which my company would like me to program to work with their Lanier system. I have no idea on how to do this. I tried e-mailing dictaphone and could not understand the instructions at all. I am able to dial into their system however, my foot pedal works backwards. This would not be a major problem, but my fastforward and rewind do not work at all which is a real problem. Any ideas?

Need some help with Dictaphone C-phone programming the foot pedal..... sm
I have a coworker that needs to program her Dictaphone foot pedal. The foot pedal does not stop or start the dictation from what I understand. It is a used unit with no manual. I had a C-phone years ago but do not ever remember having to program my pedal. Thanks in advance!
Lanier is a type of dictaphone, but when speaking of a C-phone, it's meant as the Dictaphone Con

Programming C-phone
Hi everyone,
I purchased a Dictaphone C-phone off of EBay; however, it did not come with a manual. I am totally lost. Are they all the same when it comes to signing a job off, leaving a job open, fasting forwarding a job, etc.? Is this something you have to program into the phone? If so, can someone tell me how to program my phone for these different requests? 
Programming C phone
The service you work for should be able to tell you the keys to push to sign off a job, etc. However, here is a link to the Dictaphone answer desk for more detailed instructions.

Lanier programming help sm
When I dial into the hospital on my Lanier LX-219, I get the doctor's dictating system, which has a 4 digit code, instead of transcription. The unit is set to slave mode. Is there anything else I can do to fix this? I haven't used it for awhile, but did use it before for transcription. Any help appreciated! Thanks! 
HEADSET PROGRAMMING
Hit the program key at the top then keys, then pick the key you want then the code is #*11 then hit the select key and then stop key....good luck, I had this problem as well and do every now and then when I unplug my equipment.
Lanier has propietary programming...sm
and therefore their equipment can only be used with Lanier equipment.

Lanier Voicewriter programming
I've searched through the archives and found some good programming info on the Lanier voicewriter. However, I couldn't find what I need. My loving 17 MO son hit some keys and now I can't see the lower screen. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks
If you are talking about programming a c-phone
someone posted the directions a while back. I have the directions, I cannot find them at the momment but if you will look and the 3 gray buttons below the screen push the one that says progm. I believe from there it is self explanatory. HTH a little.
c-phone headset programming
I got this on 06/01/07 from MT Stars - here it is for you to program
Make sure the Dictaphone is plugged in and also into the wall phone jack.
Notice the display screen at the top of the Dictaphone, 3 gray buttons under the display.
Press the left gray button under the word PRGM.
The display will now read
PROGRAM
KEYS ID/TIME TEL
Press the gray button below the word KEYS.
The display will now read SELECT PROGRAM KEY. At this point push one of the 16 black keys below the display on the telephone keypad. If you are programming your headset for example, select any one of the 16 black keys that you want. Press that black key.
The display will now say ENTER NUMBER. For headsets programming #*11 (that is, the POUND key, the STAR key and then the number 11)
Now press the MULTIPLY KEY to the right of the telephone keypad. This key says SELECT on top of it and has an X multiply function on it.
Press the STOP key to exit programming function. The STOP key is located second from the right on the top row of the keys on the bottom of the C-phone.
Hope this helps. I printed this out and this has been so useful, especially when unplugging the C-phone during electrical storms for a period of time and you lose the programming.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL

C-PHONE PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
Note: The C phone mapping system may be different for each facility. Ask the supervisor/owner for the programming keys needed for each function. Sometimes you may find them on the face of the phone, under the plastic cover. There are 16 buttons available to program (1-8 down the left side and 9-16 down the right side)
You will use the function keys under the display window and the Select button (X) next to the number key pad.
On the C phone screen, there are 3 buttons below the display window. The messages in the columns above the 3 buttons are:
Time Date
Progm Msg Directory
Select the Progm button and the follow screen appears:
Progrm
Keys ID/Time Tel
Note: Put some thought into the Keys that are convenient or work quickly. For example, button 9 (top right side) may be the button to dial into the system; button 10 may be the ID number you key in to access work, etc.
To program the keypad, press PROGM—KEYS
The screen asks you to select a program key. Chose one of the 16 buttons.
The screen will ask you if you want to Revise the information there, press one of the 3 buttons in the message screen. We will select YES. Then enter your ID number or dial-in number etc followed by the #.
We now need to SELECT this choice as the final step for programming this button. The SELECT is on the right side of the phone number pad, the “X” key. Each time you program a key, the last step will be to press the SELECT key to end that function.
If you make a mistake during the programming process, just press the STOP key on the C phone pad and start over.
For each subsequent function you want to program, follow the instructions again from

I am beginning a transcription job for an allergist on Monday and they are looking to me for advice on what type of transcriber to buy and where to purchase the machine. Since it has been awhile since I have transcribed, I would like some assistance. I live in TX. Thanks~Sherry
RE: Dictaphone
I have been hearing a lot of bad things about Dictaphone company. Just wondering if any of you have had any bad dealings with them, maintenance, getting in contact with somebody, etc.. I hear bad from everybody except Dictaphone people.

Try transcriptiongear.com or executive communications. I have gotten lanier stuff from executive. I sold my Dictaphone last year for 235.00 it was in pristine condition. Got my lanier/with power box from e-bay.
Dictaphone VR
Has anyone out there edited Dictaphone VR? Considering a job, but not sure if I could make more than I make typing. Thanks.
Dictaphone VR
I've been doing Dictaphone
VR for nearly 3 years now. My speed has increaded about 40%. I cannot comment on increased income, as we are paid hourly whether we do VR or straight typing. But, I must add I really enjoy it. I'm not sure I could go back to typing every report ever again.
Dictaphone VR
What do you mean by Dictaphone VR? I have VR installed but haven't had the time or patience to start using it. Is there a way to connect the Dictaphone to the computer so you don't have to listen, say it, etc?
Dictaphone
I have a Dictaphone C phone that plugs into my phone line and does work with the cable phone. I live in the Northeast and have that all-in-one package for cable, phone and TV, and the Dictaphone has worked fine. I have long distance unlimited which helps too in case the number you have to dial isn't local.
Using Dictaphone
How easy/difficult is it to use dictaphone? Is it user friendly or a pain in the rear. Thanks!!
RE: Dictaphone
Does anybody out there know who to contact for Dictaphone C-phone that needs fixing.
Dictaphone
Please, does anyone know where to get a Dictaphone C-phone fixed. Mine quit. I can call in and they answer, but when I press the button, it disconnects and operator comes on and says, if you want to make a call, hang up and dial again. Have tried everything. It was raining, but no big storm, just wind blowing, but don't know if it was lightening or not. I contacted Dictaphone and they have flat rate of $301 plus tax to fix it.
Dictaphone
Yikes! We used to have a guy come to our office to fix but I live in Washington state. Sorry I cannot help further. I have a Dictaphone for sale for $250 if you need one.
dictaphone help
I am in need of help figuring out how to transcribe remotely from a dictaphone c-phone calling into a dictaphone straight talk system.
Dictaphone EXT
THE BEST SYSTEM TO WORK ON TO DATE - Simple, friendly, no fuss.
The speech part is great also, but is only good if the person responsible for training it does their job . If it is not tweaked everyday, it is worthless. So the added theroy of the system is only as good as the operator (or in this case, the montioring person).
need Dictaphone help
I have a Dictaphone Straight Talk that suddenly stopped answering the phone when my client calls. Dictaphone won't service this model anymore and the computer repair shop I went to didn't know how. I only have one client using this system and don't want to spend to much money replacing or repairing it. Any suggestions? Thanks!
RE: Dictaphone
Dictaphone does not show printout, but tells you the minutes. If you push button, think #6, it tells you how much time you have left if programmed for that.
Dictaphone Help!!!!please!!!!
I am on the road right now and trying to work from a family members home on my laptop, however my 2-yo knocked my dictaphone off the desk and now although I can get a dial tone I cannot get any of the keys to work!!!!!
Anyone have any experience with anything like this
? About using dictaphone
Is there a way when files are assigned to you to know how many files or how much audio length you have assigned to you through some function on the Dictaphone itself?
RE: Dictaphone
There is no summary, I dont' think. Know you can get the minutes if you hit play header or 6. Can't get total of what you have though.
dictaphone
I'll try that...thanks for the help!

Thank you. That is exactly how Dictaphone explained it to me sm
when I went to Florida for training.
Dictaphone strips?
How about the Dictaphone belts. They were strips of..whatever?? that we put into the Dictaphone machine to transcribe. We first would put them into the doctor's machine for his dictation (at the clinic I worked at). Then when he was done either he or the nurse would bring the magnetic? strip and clinic papers to me and I would transcribe on my IBM Selectric typewriter..LOLOLOL..Thanks for the memories, fellow transcriptionists!
Dictaphone Cphone SOS
Has anyone ever locked up a C-phone accidentally and now requires a security code which I do not have nor does the owner of the machine to do anything. I am at standstill. Any advice appreciated.
Yep, but its the Dictaphone system...
My hospital rad account decided to "upgrade" their system which supposedly would take half an hour - its now 6 hours and counting - and the docs haven't been able to dictate since noon - boy R we in for a backlog tomorrow! 
Dictaphone problems
I had my dictaphone all programmed. The electricity went out, and when it came back on everything was fine EXCEPT for the ringer. I have been unable to figure out how to turn it off. I tried program/tel/off/no/to turn line 1 ringer off enter the zero on the telephone key pad/lift receiver. That worked once, but does not now. Can anyone give me some suggestions/help?
