Using The Stand | Radio Shack DX-398 instruction

To connect a tape recorder, you need a mono patch cord (not supplied) with a 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) plug on both ends. Your local RadioShack store carries a wide selection of mono patch cords.

Insert the cord’s plug into the REC LINE OUT jack on the left side of the receiver, then connect the other end of the cord to your tape recorder’s LINE IN jack.

Connect one end of the cord to the REC STANDBY jack, then connect the other end to your recorder’s STAND- BY IN or REMOTE IN jack. Then see “Timer Recording” on Page 33 for more information about using the re- ceiver’s timers to record.

Follow the instructions provided with your tape recorder to record transmis- sions from the receiver.

Note: When you connect a tape re- corder, the receiver’s built-in speaker continues to work.

The REC STANDBY jack on the left side of the receiver lets you record a broad- cast at a preset time.

To connect a tape recorder to the re- ceiver’s REC STANDBY jack, you need a mono patch cord (not supplied) with a 3/32-inch (2.3 mm) plug. And, your tape recorder must have a STANDBY IN or REMOTE IN jack rated at no more than 20V, 150mA.

USING THE STAND

You can position the receiver more se- curely and possibly improve the sound by resting the receiver on its stand.

Lift the latch on the back of the receiver to open the stand.
