For constant recording, slide the VAC ON/OFF switch ❶ to the OFF position and press the Record button ❷ (the Play button will automatically depress) and the REC/BATT indicator will light.

Speak into the built-in microphone or insert a microphone into the MIC jack and speak into it in a normal tone of voice.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you cannot press the Record button, then there is either no tape inserted, or the erase prevention tab has been removed. See page 9 for details.
