We strongly encourage you to read this User Guide and practice using your writing machine according to the
instructions contained therein. This will allow you to become comfortable and familiar with it before taking it
on a job or into class.
The Diamante®is equipped with a non-glare liquid crystal display for easy read back of steno or text. The
Diamante®provides text translation and searching, making it easier to provide “read back.”
Your Diamante comes with rechargeable batteries: one main battery pack and an internal backup battery.
Advanced battery technology prevents the batteries from overcharging so you don’t have to worry about
leaving the batteries on the charger overnight or over a weekend. Be aware that batteries are consumable
items and are usually ready to be replaced every twelve to eighteen months.
EasyLockTM Z12 tripod positioning with a positive-locking mechanism provides quick and easy setup. Simply
open and set the tripod on the floor and place your machine on it according to the instructions in this guide.
The design of the tripod assures a smooth, even writing platform for you to enjoy.
You’ll probably notice how light the Diamante is - - just 4.5 pounds. The carrying case also lightens your
load.
Remember to check the Stenograph®web site, www.stenograph.com, for updates to the Diamante. The
Diamante was designed with you in mind. We know you’ll enjoy using it!
STENOGRAPH, L.L.C.
Congratulations on the purchase of your Diamante®!

Stenograph believes that the Diamante shorthand machine, when used in compliance with the enclosed
instructions and information, is safe. Certain sources, though controverted, suggest a relationship between
injuries of the hands and forearms with prolonged use of any type of keyboard or other equipment involving
repetitive movements of the hands. At the same time, other sources indicate that there is no such cause and
effect.
The safety and well-being of persons using Stenograph equipment is of paramount concern and because we
recognize that these medical and scientific questions are not definitively resolved, Stenograph encourages all
users of our writers to carefully review the following Work Area Checklist and to use appropriate work habits.
Remember, personalizing your environment so that it is comfortable for you, promotes a healthy physical and
mental work lifestyle.
The following Work Area Checklist is not intended to be all inclusive but a guideline for you to use. Only you can
determine what is best for you. Use the checklist to assess and adjust your work area to suit your own needs.
Personalizing your environment so that it is comfortable for you promotes a healthy physical and mental work
lifestyle.
At Your Diamante
Use a comfortable chair conducive to correct posture.
Adjust the height of the shorthand machine
appropriately for your body.
Position the shorthand machine comfortably close to
you.
Place the tripod between your knees. Do not sit
“sidesaddle”.
Minimize the use of the shorthand machine on surfaces
other than the tripod stand.
At Your Computer
Place the monitor screen perpendicular to the window to
help avoid glare.
Adjust or close window coverings.
Arrange materials such as reference books or a
telephone close to you to help avoid excessive reaching
or twisting.
Clear the area under and around the desk to leave room
for your feet and legs.
Remove sources of distraction around the monitor.
Keep noise to a minimum.
See accompanying materials provided by the computer
keyboard manufacturer.
Your Body
Take frequent breaks to stretch or exercise.
Maintain a straight wrist position.
Avoid resting your wrists while writing.
Keep your hands level with your forearms.
Let your fingers curve naturally.
Let your forearm go up and down a little when you write,
pivoting at the elbow, not at the wrists.
Pull your steno machine comfortably close to you.
Keep your feet on the floor or supported by a footrest.
Support your lower back.
Assure that your knees are bent at an angle of 90° or
more and your thighs at an angle of 90° or greater in
relation to your torso.
Adjust the chair position and your posture throughout
the day.
If you experience any aching, numbing, or tingling in
your arms, wrists, or hand, consult a qualified health
care professional.
