Select a location for your cassette recorder that is out of the way of
normal activities.  You can connect the cassette recorder directly to
the phone line or to the same phone you talk on.

CONNECTING DIRECTLY TO THE PHONE LINE

Follow these steps to connect the cassette recorder to the phone line.

1.  Plug the supplied dual-prong cord into the cassette recorder's MIC
    and TEL jacks.

2.  Insert the modular plug into a modular line jack.

Note:  If the phone line jack is not a modular jack, you must update the
the wiring.  You can convert the wiring yourself, using jacks and
adapters available at your local Radio Shack store.  Or, you can let the
phone company update the wiring for you.  The phone company will charge
you for the installation of necessary jacks.  The USOC number of the jack
to be installed is RJ11C.

CONNECTING TO THE PHONE

You can use the supplied handset adapter to connect the cassette recorder
to the same phone you plan to talk on.

1.  Plug the supplied dual-prong cord into the cassette recorder's MIC
    and TEL jacks.

2.  Plug the cord's modular plug and handset's cord into the handset
    adapter.

Note:  Plug the cassette recorder's plug into the right modular jack and
       the handset's plug into the left jack.

3.  Plug the handset adapter into the telephone's base.

CONNECTING TO POWER

You can power your cassette recorder using either AC power (with an
optional AC adapter) or 4 AA batteries.

USING AC POWER

Your recorder can be powered by an optional AC adapter that provides 6
volts, such as Cat. No. 273-1650.

Caution:  You must use a Class II, 120V AC/6V DC adapter that delivers at
least 300 milliamps.  Its plug must correctly fit the cassette recorder's
DC 6V jack with the tip set to negative.  Using an adapter that does not
meet these requirements could damage the cassette recorder or the
adapter.

Follow these steps to connect your cassette recorder to AC power.

1.  Set the AC adapter's voltage switch to 6V.

2.  Insert the green-tipped barrel plug's black end into the adapter's
    cord to read TIP NEG.

3.  Insert the green plug into the cassette recorder's DC 6V jack.

Note:  Connecting AC power automatically disconnects battery power.
4.  Plug the adapter into a standard AC power outlet.


Using Battery Power

Your cassette recorder can be powered by 4 AA batteries.  For the longest
life, we recommend alkaline batteries (such as Radio Shack Cat. No.
23-552).

Follow these steps to install or replace the batteries.

1.  Press the battery compartment cover's tab and lift off the cover.

2.  Insert the batteries into the compartment, as indicated by the
    polarity symbols (+ and -) marked inside the compartment.

3.  Replace the cover.

Notes:

*  Replace the batteries when the REC/LEVEL indicator dims.

*  Do not mix old batteries with new ones, and do not mix different types
   of batteries (standard and alkaline, for example).

*  Always remove old batteries.  Even leak-proof batteries can leak and
   damage the cassette recorder.
