“Setting the Clock” on Page 2 for instructions
on setting the time and date.
When the recorder stops operating properly,
replace the batteries. We recommend you
slide HOLD in the direction of the arrow
before replacing batteries to maintain the
current settings (date/time, etc.). For your
convenience, the recorder also saves the
current settings in its nonvolatile memory at
hourly intervals.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly
and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use the
recorder for an extended period, remove the
batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that
can destroy electronic parts.
When the batteries are depleted,
appears and the recorder
automatically shuts off. Replace batteries as
soon as possible.

You can use an optional mono earphone with
a 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) mini-plug to listen to your
recordings in private. Your local RadioShack
store carries a wide selection of earphones.
Insert the earphone's plug into the recorder's
EAR jack. The built-in speaker automatically

To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use earphones.
• 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 high-volume listening
can lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over time, your ears adap t to
the volume level, so a volume level that
does not cause discomfort might still
damage your hearing.

Do not wear an earphone while operating a
motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can
create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in
some areas.
Even though some earphones let you hear
some outside sounds when listening at
normal volume levels, they still can present a
traffic hazard.
