1Connect the AC adaptor jack to the X-12's [DC IN] connector, and connect the power plug to

the AC outlet.

<CAUTION>

Do not handle the AC adaptor with wet hands or you may receive an electrical shock.

2Open the cassette lid and insert a recording tape into the cassette tray.

If you record on a used tape, make sure that the write-protection tabs on the spine of the tape are not removed. If any of them are broken, cover the tab hole with a piece of tape.

3Plug the mic into the [INPUT] jack and the headphone into the [PHONES] jack.

4Turn on the power switch.

The [POWER] indicator will light up in red.

5Press the [PLAY] button to forward the tape for a few seconds.

This should be performed in order to wind past the leader part at the beginning of the cassette tape. If a used tape is not rewound completely, press the [REW] button to rewind the tape to the beginning and perform Step 5.
