USING THE TAPE COUNTER

You can use the tape counter to mark relative positions on a cassette
tape during recording or playback.  As the cassette tape moves, the
counter advances.  Before you play a cassette tape, rewind the cassette
tape and press the button to the right of the tape counter to set it to 000.

RECORDING A PHONE CONVERSATION

You can record both sides of a conversation on any phone connected to the
same phone line as the cassette recorder.

1.  Set RECORD MODE, SPEED, and MONITOR to the desired setting.  (SEE
    "Setting RECORD MODE", "Setting SPEED", and "Setting MONITOR".)

Note:  If you set RECORD MODE to VOX, when both parties become silent for
       about 5 seconds, the cassette deck stops until someone starts
       speaking again.

2.  Press RECORD down.  Both RECORD and PLAY lock down.

   When RECORD is pressed down, every call made or received is recorded.

Notes:

*  The VOLUME setting does not affect the recording level.

*  Conversation will record from any extension phone that is connected
   to the same line.

*  The REC/LEVEL indicator flashes during recording.

*  If the tape reaches the end while the cassette recorder is recording,
   it automatically releases RECORD and PLAY and stops.

*  To temporarily stop recording, press PAUSE.  To resume recording,
   press PAUSE again.

3.  To stop recording, press STOP/EJECT.

REGULAR RECORDING

You can use your cassette recording as a regular cassette recorder for
dictation or conversation.

Note:  Disconnect the dual-prong cord before regular recording.

Press RECORD down.  Both RECORD and PLAY buttons lock.  Then speak into
the built-in MIC from a distance of about 12 inches.

Notes:

*  You can set RECORD MODE to NORMAL for continuous recording.  If you
   set RECORD MODE to VOX, the cassette recorder starts recording when
   you begin to speak or the recorder picks up the sound.  When there is
   silence for about 5 seconds, the cassette recorder stops.

*  Press PAUSE to temporarily stop the tape while you are playing it.
   Press PAUSE again to resume playing.

*  The REC/LEVEL indicator flashes during recording.

To stop recording, press STOP/EJECT.

SETTING RECORD MODE

When RECORD MODE is set to VOX, it begins recording when the microphone
or phone line receives sound, and stops recording when it receives no
sound for about 5 seconds.

When you set RECORD MODE to VOX, you must set the sensitivity level.  H
(High) is the most sensitive setting and requires only a soft sound to
begin recording.  If the tape does not stop after about 5 seconds of
silence, set the switch to M (medium) or L (low).

Note:  L is the least sensitive setting and requires a louder sound to
       begin recording.

Set record mode to NORMAL to record continuously and use the cassette
recorder's functions.

SETTING MONITOR

Set MONITOR ON/OFF to ON to listen to a conversation through the cassette
recorder's speaker as it is being recorded.  Rotate VOLUME to a
comfortable listening level.

Note:  If you are recording your own phone conversation, set MONITOR ON/
       OFF to OFF.  Otherwise, it might cause audio feedback through your
       telephone handset or through the cassette recorder's speaker.

SETTING SPEED

The SPEED switch allows you to record at regular speed or at a slower
speed.  EXTENDED records twice as long as the regular speed and at a
lower quality.  Tapes recorded with SPEED set to EXTENDED must be played
back with the cassette recorder set to EXTENDED.

Set SPEED to STANDARD to record at regular speed.  You can play back the
tape on this cassette recorder (with SPEED set to STANDARD), or any other
cassette tape player.

FAST-FORWARD AND REWIND

Press CUE/FAST-F or REVIEW/REWIND when the cassette recorder is stopped
to wind the tape rapidly forward or backward.  The cassette tape winds
forward or backward until you press STOP/EJECT.

Press and hold down CUE/FAST-F or REVIEW/REWIND during PLAY to fast-
forward or review at a high speed.  When you release the button, the
cassette recorder returns to normal play.

Note:  When the tape is fully wound to either reel, press STOP/EJECT to
       release FAST-F or REWIND.

PLAYING BACK

1.  Set RECORD MODE to NORMAL.

2.  Press FAST-F or REWIND as necessary to position the tape.

3.  Press PLAY to begin tape playback.

4.  Adjust VOLUME to a comfortable listening level.

5.  Press STOP/EJECT to stop play.  If the cassette tape plays to the
    end, the cassette deck automatically releases PLAY and stops.

Note:  Press PAUSE to temporarily stop the tape while you are playing it.
       Press PAUSE again to resume playing.

USING AN EARPHONE

To connect earphone's (not supplied), insert the earphone's 1/8-inch plug
into the EAR jack on the side of the cassette recorder.  Set MONITOR
OFF/ON to ON.

You will find a wide selection of earphones at your local Radio Shack
store.

Note:  The speaker automatically disconnects when you plug in an
       earphone.
