Press the Stop/Eject button and insert a microcassette tape with the side to be played facing you and the exposed tape facing the right. Close the Cassette Compartment.

For Voice Activated Recording, slide the VAS ON/OFF switch ❶ to the ON position and press the REC button ❷ (the PLAY button will automatically depress).

Speak into the built-in microphone or insert a microphone into the MIC jack and speak into it in a normal tone of voice. Adjust the VOLUME/VAC Mic Sensitivity control until your voice activates the recorder (REC/BATT indicator will light).

NOTES:

•The first few sounds activate the recorder and may not be recorded.

•A variation in voice level during recording will not stop the unit, 2 seconds of silence is required to stop the recording.

•For constant recording, see previous page.

•When recording, the VOLUME/ VAC Mic Sensitivity control adjusts the microphone sensitivity. At 10, a soft sound will activate the recorder. At 0, a louder sound is required.
