FEATURES
Your Optimus CTR–113 Voice-Activated Cassette Tape
Recorder gives you convenient recording technology.
You can have recording begin and end according to the
sound level in a room, which gives you hands-free opera-
tion while recording.
Because the CTR-113 does not record long periods of si-
lence, you not only save tape space and battery power,
you also save time when you try to find a certain section
on the tape. Your recorder is small enough to fit in a brief-
case or purse, so you can take it almost anywhere.
The cassette recorder includes these special features:
Semi Auto Stop — during playback and recording, stops
the recorder and releases the tape mechanism when the
tape reaches the end, to save battery power and protect
your cassette tape.
Di
g
ital Tape Counter — helps you quickly return to a
specific section on the tape.
One-Touch Recordin
g
— lets you press one button to
start recording.

PREPARATION
POWERING THE RECORDER
For portable use, you can power the recorder from inter-
nal batteries. Using adapters, you can also power it from
a standard AC outlet or your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter
socket.
Using Internal Battery Power
The recorder uses two AA batteries (not supplied). For
the best results, we recommend alkaline batteries, such
as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-552. Or, you can use re-
chargeable nickel-cadmium batteries, such as Cat. No.
23-125, with a battery charger (Cat. No. 23-133).
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the recommended size
and type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of
batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different capacities.

Follow these steps to install batteries.
1. Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction
shown by the arrow on the cover.
Caution: The battery compartment cover is hinged.
Do not try to remove it.
2. Install two AA batteries as indicated by the polarity
symbols (+ and –) marked on the back of the
recorder.
3. Replace the cover.
When the recorder stops operating properly or the battery
light is low, replace the batteries.
Cautions:
• If you do not plan to use the recorder for a week or
more, or you plan to use only another power source,
remove the batteries.
• Always dispose of old batteries promptly and prop-
erly.

Important: Your recorder is capable of using recharge-
able nickel-cadmium batteries. At the end of the batteries’
lives, they must be recycled or disposed of properly. Con-
tact your local, county, or state hazardous waste man-
agement authorities for information on recycling or
disposal programs in your area. Some options that might
be available are: municipal curbside collection, drop-off
boxes at retailers such as your local RadioShack store,
recycling collection centers, and mail-back programs.
Using AC Power
To power the recorder from an AC outlet, you need an
AC adapter (not supplied), such as Cat. No. 273-1654.
Cautions:
• You must use an adapter that supplies at least 3 volts
and delivers at least 300 mA. Its center tip must be
set to negative, and its barrel plug must fit the CTR-
113’s DC 3V jack. The recommended adapter meets
these specifications. Using an adapter that does not
meet these specifications could damage the CTR-
113 or the adapter.
• Connecting an AC adapter automatically disconnects
internal batteries.

• Always plug the adapter into the recorder before you
plug it into the AC outlet. Always unplug the adapter
from the AC outlet before you unplug it from the
recorder.
1. Set the adapter’s voltage switch to 3V.
2. Attach the 3.4 mm outer diameter/1.3 mm inner
diameter barrel plug to the AC adapter’s cord with the
tip set to negative (–).
3. Insert the barrel plug into the recorder’s DC 3V jack.
4. Plug the adapter into a standard AC outlet.
Using DC Power
To power the recorder from your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter
socket, you need a DC adapter (not supplied), such as
Cat. No. 273-1810 or Cat. No. 270-1560.

Cautions:
• You must use an adapter that supplies 3 volts and
delivers at least 300 milliamps. Its center tip must be
set to negative, and its barrel plug must fit the CTR-
113’s DC 3V jack. The recommended adapter meets
these specifications. Using an adapter that does not
meet these specifications could damage the CTR-
113 or the adapter.
• Connecting a DC adapter automatically disconnects
internal batteries.
• Always plug the adapter into the recorder before you
plug it into the cigarette-lighter socket. Always unplug
the adapter from the cigarette-lighter socket before
you unplug it from the recorder.
Follow these steps to power the recorder from your vehi-
cle’s cigarette-lighter socket.
1. Set the adapter’s voltage switch to 3V.

2. Attach the 3.4 mm outer diameter/1.3 mm inner
diameter barrel plug to the DC adapter’s cord with
the tip set to negative (–).
3. Insert the barrel plug into the recorder’s DC 3V jack.
4. Plug the other end of the adapter into the vehicle’s
cigarette-lighter socket.
Note: If the recorder does not operate properly when
powered from your vehicle’s battery, unplug the adapter
from the cigarette-lighter socket and clean the socket to
remove any ashes or other debris.
USING THE EARPHONE
You can use the supplied earphone for private listening.
Insert the earphone’s 1/8-inch (3.5-mm) plug into the EAR
jack.
Note: Connecting the earphone disconnects the record-
er’s built-in speaker.
