When the record/battery indicator be- comes dim during recording or the re- corder stops operating properly, replace the batteries.

Warning: Always dispose of old batter- ies promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.

Caution: If you do not plan to use the re- corder with batteries for a month or more, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.

Using Vehicle Battery Power

You can power the recorder from your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket using a 6V, 300 mA DC adapter and a size B Adaptaplug™ adapter (neither supplied, available at your local RadioShack store).

Cautions:

•You must use a DC adapter that supplies 6 volts and delivers at least 300 milliamps. Its center tip must be set to positive, and its plug must cor- rectly fit the recorder’s DC 6V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these requirements could damage the recorder or the adapter.

•Always plug the adapter into the recorder before you plug it into the cigarette-lighter socket, and always unplug the adapter from the ciga- rette-lighter socket before you unplug it from the recorder.

Follow these steps to use vehicle battery power.

1.Set the DC adapter’s voltage switch to 6V.

2.Insert the Adaptaplug adapter into the adapter’s cord so it reads + TIP.

3.Insert the Adaptaplug’s barrel plug into the DC 6V jack on the left side of the recorder.

4.Insert the adapter’s larger plug into the vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket.

USING AN EARPHONE

You can use an optional mono earphone with a 1/8-inch (3.5-mm) mini plug to lis- ten to a tape privately. Insert the ear- phone’s 1/8-inch plug into the EAR jack.

Note: Connecting the earphone automatically disconnects the built-in speaker.
