Welcome!

Thank you for purchasing the Sony MicrocassetteTM Dictator. Some features are:

•Simple operation with a slide-type function lever.

•VOR (Voice Operated Recording) system that starts and stops recording automatically in response to the sound, to save tapes and batteries.

•Three-digit tape counter for indexing the tape contents. •LOCK switch prevents the unit from accidental operation. •Tape-end alarm sounds at the end of the tape.

zGetting Started

Preparing a Power Source

Choose one of the following power sources

Dry Batteries (see Fig. A-a)

Make sure that nothing is connected to the DC IN 3V jack.

1Open the battery compartment lid.

2Insert two R03 (size AAA) batteries:

When to replace the batteries (see Fig. A-b)

Replace the batteries with new ones when the DICT/BATT lamp dims.

Notes on the DICT/BATT lamp

•After the batteries have been used for a while, the DICT/BATT lamp may flicker with the playback sound when you turn up the volume; however, this does not mean that you need to change the batteries.

•The unit will play back normally for a while even after the DICT/BATT lamp dims. However, replace the batteries as soon as you can. If you do not, subsequent recording will not be done correctly.

Notes on batteries

•Do not charge a dry battery.

•Do not use a new battery with an old one.

•Do not use different types of batteries.

•When you do not use the unit for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid any damage caused by battery leakage and subsequent corrosion.

•Dry batteries will not be expended when another power source is connected.

House Current (see Fig. A-c)

Use the AC-E30HG AC power adaptor (not supplied). Connect the adaptor to the DC IN 3V jack and to a wall outlet. Do not use any other AC power adaptor.

Inserting a Cassette

Before inserting the cassette, take up any slack in the tape with a thick pencil. (see Fig. B-a)

Use only standard Microcassettes with this unit. (see Fig. B-b)

Non-standard microcassettes cannot be used because their “L” dimension (see illustration) is different.
