Headset Safety

•Do not play your headset at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play.

•If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.

•Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle or bicycle, it may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

•You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

•Even if your headset is an open-air type designed to let you hear outside sounds, don't turn up the volume so high that you can't hear what's around you.

Powering the Recorder

Battery Installation

1.Open hinged battery door by pressing down just above the arrow, sliding it as indicated and lifting up. Note that to avoid damage to the battery door, do not attempt to force door beyond its normal stopping point.

Important Battery Information

•Alkaline batteries are recommended for longer play. Carbon-zinc or nickel cadmium rechargeable batteries can substantially reduce play time.

•If you’re not going to use your player for a month or more, be sure to remove batteries because they can leak and damage the unit.

•Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state, and local regulations.

•Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not intended to be recharged.

•Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin burns or other personal injury.

2.Insert 2 “AA” alkaline batteries into the battery compartment. Be sure each battery is installed as shown on the battery diagram in the battery compartment.

3.Close the battery door by lowering and sliding door into the closed position.

NOTE: If the recording sounds distorted, or if the tape moves very slowly or not at all, check the batteries, try AC power or a fresh set of batteries before seeking service (See Record/Battery Indicator).

AC/DC Converter (not included)

To save batteries you can use the AC Converter to operate your recorder. The cord plugs into the DC 3V jack on the recorder and the AC end plugs into a household outlet. When the AC/DC Converter is used, batteries are automatically disconnected.

Record/ Battery Indicator

•Recording Indicator—Light will remain on when in continuous record mode.

•Battery Condition Indicator—When in the record mode, the brightness level of the light indicates battery condition. When the indicator is dim or does not light, batteries are weak and need replacing. Note that the optional AC/DC Converter (5-1751) must be disconnected from DC 3V jack to check batteries.
