PLAYING A CASSETTE TAPE

To play a cassette, follow these steps:

1.  Load a cassette tape into the cassette compartment.

2.  Set VOLUME to MIN.

3.  Press PLAY.

4.  Adjust VOLUME for a comfortable listening level.

5.  Press STOP/EJECT to stop the tape.

NOTE:  The recorder automatically stops tape movement and turns off when
       the tape ends.

To fast-forward, press and hold down FAST-F/CUE until the tape reaches the
desired section.  To rewind the tape, press and hold down REWIND/REVIEW
until the tape reaches the desired section.  See "Using Fast-Forward and
Rewind."

To temporarily stop the tape, press PAUSE.  To continue playback, press
PAUSE again.

NOTE:  Do not leave PAUSE down for an extended period of time.  It drains
       the batteries.

To listen to a cassette in privacy, see "Using the Earphone."

RECORDING

The recorder's built-in automatic level control (ALC) circuit
automatically sets the proper recording level.  The built-in condenser
microphone is highly sensitive and picks up sound from practically any
distance in a normal size room.

You can also connect an external microphone (not supplied) to the
recorder's MIC jack.  Use a high-quality, low-impedence microphone with a
1/8-inch plug.  See Radio Shack's complete selection of microphones.  If
you connect an external microphone, the built-in microphone automatically
disconnects.

If the external microphone has a separate, smaller plug for remote
operation, insert that plug into the recorder's REMOTE jack.  Then, you
can use the microphone's remote switch to turn on and off the recorder. 
However, if VOICE ACTUATION is not set to OUT, recording only starts when
the remote switch is on and the recorder receives an audible signal.  When
you finish recording, be sure to press STOP/EJECT.

If you use an external microphone, you can monitor the recording with the
supplied earphone.  Otherwise, do not use the earphone during recording. 
The built-in microphone's circuitry can cause feedback noise in the
earphone.

Use only normal bias (Type I) tapes, such as Radio Shack's LN and XR tape,
for recordings.  Be sure the erase-protection tabs are in place.

Follow these steps to record onto a cassette:

1.  Load a blank cassette (or one you want to record over) into the tape
    compartment.

2.  Set VOICE ACTUATION as follows to set the desired sensitivity:

    HIGH - begins recording from soft, low sounds as well as loud sounds.

     LOW - requires a normal to loud sound to begin recording.

     OUT - immediately begins recording when you press RECORD (unless
           PAUSE is down).

3.  Press RECORD.  The PLAY button automatically goes down.

    If VOICE ACTUATION is set to OUT, recording begins immediately,
    (unless PAUSE is down).

    If VOICE ACTUATION is set to HIGH or LOW, recording begins when the
    recorder detects an audible signal.  If the sound stops or becomes
    inaudible for about 5 seconds, the recorder automatically stops and
    the RECORD/BATTERY indicator turns on when the recorder receives
    another audible signal.

NOTE:  As the recorder records, the RECORD/BATTERY indicator flashes.

4.  To stop recording, press STOP/EJECT.

USING FAST-FORWARD AND REWIND

The REWIND/REVIEW and FAST-F/CUE buttons have three different functions,
depending on whether they are used in the play, record, or stop mode.  To
return to a segment that you just played or recorded, or to advance to a
segment of the tape, follow these instructions.

Play Mode

If you press and hold down REWIND/REVIEW or FAST-F/CUE while playing a
cassette, the tape rewinds or fast-forwards.  At the same time, any signal
on the tape is audible, making it easy to locate the end of a segment.

When you release REWIND/REVIEW or FAST-F/CUE, the recorder returns to 
normal play.


Record Mode

If you press and hold down REWIND/REVIEW or FAST-F/CUE while recording,
the RECORD button releases and the tape rewinds or fast-forwards.  You can
hear the recorded sound so you can locate any desired segment on the tape. 
When you release REWIND/REVIEW or FAST-F/CUE, the recorder plays the
cassette.  To continue recording, press STOP/EJECT.  Then press RECORD.

Stop Mode

If you press REWIND/REVIEW or FAST-F/CUE while the tape is stopped, the
button locks and the tape rewinds or fast-forwards at high speed.  When
you reach the approximate position you want, press STOP/EJECT.

NOTE:  Auto stop doe snot work in this mode.  As soon as the recorder
       reaches the end of the tape, press STOP/EJECT.

USING THE TAPE COUNTER

Set the counter to 000 at the beginning of a tape by pressing the reset
button (next to the counter).  Then, as you record onto or play a cassette
tape, note the counter reading at the start of each selection.  Finally,
use rewind or fast-forward and the counter reading to return to the
desired section.

USING THE EARPHONE

Follow these steps to listen to a recorded cassette in privacy.

1.  Set VOLUME to MIN.

2.  Plug the supplied earphone's 1/8-inch plug into the recorder's EAR
    jack.  The built in speaker automatically disconnects.

3.  Adjust VOLUME for a comfortable listening level.

HEARING COMFORT AND YOUR HEALTH

Do not listen at extremely high volume levels, especially when using the
earphone.  Extended, high-volume listening can lead to permanent hearing
loss.

Traffic Safety

Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a
bicycle.  This can create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas.

Even though some headphones are designed to let you hear some outside
sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still present a
traffic hazard.
