Notes:

•Before you load a cassette tape for recording, be sure its erase-protec- tion tabs are in place (see “Prevent- ing Accidental Erasure” on Page 8).

Note: To temporarily stop recording, press PAUSE. Press PAUSE again to resume recording.

5.The recorder automatically stops the tape when it reaches the end of the current side. To stop recording sooner, press STOP/EJECT.

Using an External Microphone

You can connect an external micro- phone (not supplied) with a 1/8-inch plug to the recorder. Your local RadioShack store sells a variety of microphones.

Note: Connecting an external micro- phone automatically disconnects the built-in microphone.

Follow these steps to record using an external microphone.

1.Load a blank cassette tape, or one you want to record over, into the cassette compartment.

2.Insert the microphone’s plug into the recorder’s MIC jack.

Using the Built-In Microphone

1.Load a blank cassette tape, or one you want to record over, into the cassette compartment.

2.Place the recorder 2 to 3 feet from the recording source.

3.Set VOX to OFF.

Note: If the external microphone has a separate, smaller plug for remote operation, insert that plug into the REM jack. Then you can use the microphone’s remote switch to stop or start the recorder.
