cassette recorder stops operating properly, replace the batteries.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use the cas- sette recorder with batteries for a week or longer, remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
USING AC OR DC POWER
You can power the cassette recorder with standard AC power using a 6V, 700 mA AC or DC adapter and a size M Adaptaplug™ con- nector (neither supplied) available at your lo- cal RadioShack store.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power
!source that supplies 6V DC and delivers at least 700 mA. Its
center tip must be set to negative and its plug must fit the cassette recorder’s DC 6V jack. Using an adapter that does not meet these specifications could damage the cassette recorder or the adapter.
•Always connect the AC or DC adapter to the cassette recorder before you connect it to a power source. When you finish, dis- connect the adapter from its power source before you disconnect it from the cassette recorder.
1.Set the adapter’s voltage switch to 6V, if necessary, then connect the Adaptaplug to the adapter’s cord so the tip reads
2.Insert the barrel plug into the recorder’s DC 6V jack.
3.Depending on which power source you are using, plug the other end of the adapter into a standard AC outlet or a vehicle’s 12V power source, such as a
Notes:
•Connecting an AC or DC adapter auto- matically disconnects internal batteries, if installed.
•If the cassette recorder does not operate properly when you use DC power, be sure the 12V source (such as a cigarette- lighter socket) is clean and that the adapter’s plug is pushed all the way into the socket.
•Disconnect the adapter when you are not using the cassette recorder.
•Internal batteries (if installed) automati- cally disconnect when you plug the adapter into the DC 6V jack.
LISTENING SAFELY
To protect your hearing, follow these guide- lines when you use headphones.
•Set the volume to the lowest setting before you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust the volume to a comfortable level.
•Do not listen at extremely high volume levels. Extended
•Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to the vol- ume level, so a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing.
TRAFFIC SAFETY
Do not wear headphones while operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can cre- ate a traffic hazard and could be illegal in some areas.
Even though some headphones let you hear some outside sounds when listening at normal volume levels, they still can present a traffic hazard.
