PREPARATION

CONNECTING POWER

You can power your CTR-94 from

any of these power sources:

• Internal batteries

• Standard AC power (with an

optional AC adapter)

• Vehicle battery power (with an

optional DC auto adapter)

Note: Connecting an adapter discon-

nects the internal batteries.

Using Internal Batteries

You can power your CTR-94 from

four C batteries (not supplied). For

the best performance, we recom-

mend alkaline batteries, such as Cat.

No. 23-551.

1. Press down on the battery com-

partment cover’s grooves and

slide it off in the direction of the

arrow.

2. Remove the old batteries (if nec-

essary).

Cautions:

• Always dispose of old batter-

ies promptly and properly.

• Never leave dead, old, or

weak batteries in the CTR-94.

Batteries can leak chemicals

and corrode or damage elec-

tronic circuits.

• If you do not plan to use bat-

teries in the CTR-94 for a

month or more, remove the

batteries to protect the CTR-

94 from possible battery leak-

age.

3. Install the batteries as indicated

by the polarity symbols (+ and –)

marked inside the battery com-

partment.

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the

required size and type.

• Never mix fresh and old bat-

teries, or different battery

types.

4. Replace the cover.

14-1107.fm Page 4 Thursday, July 1, 1999 11:15 AM

Checking the Battery

Condition

To check the battery’s condition,

press

PLAY,

REWIND, or FAST-F. If

the RECORD/BATTERY indicator

lights steadily, the batteries need re-

placing.

Using AC Power

You can also power the CTR-94 from

standard AC power using an AC

adapter, such as Radio Shack Cat.

No. 273-1662 (not supplied).

Cautions:

• The recommended adapter sup-

plies 6 volts and delivers at least

300 milliamps. Its center tip is

set to negative, and its plug cor-

rectly fits the CTR-94’s DC 6V

jack. Using an adapter that does

not meet these specifications

could seriously damage the

CTR-94 or the adapter.

• Always plug the adapter into the

CTR-94 before you plug it into

the AC outlet, and always

unplug the adapter from the AC

outlet before you unplug it from

the CTR-94.

Note: The recorder automatically

disconnects internal batteries when

you connect an AC adapter.

1. Set the adapter’s voltage switch

to 6V.

2. Insert the adapter’s green-tipped

barrel plug into the adapter’s

cord so it reads TIP-NEG.

3. Plug the adapter’s barrel plug

into the DC 6V jack on the left

side of the CTR-94.

4. Plug the other end of the

adapter into a standard AC out-

let.

Using Vehicle Battery Power

You can also power the CTR-94 from

your vehicle’s battery using an auto

DC adapter (such as Radio Shack

Cat. No. 14-844, not supplied) that

connects to your vehicle’s cigarette-

lighter socket.

Cautions:

• The recommended DC adapter

supplies 6 volts and delivers at

least 300 milliamps. Its center tip

is set to negative, and its plug

correctly fits the recorder’s DC

6V jack. Using an adapter that

does not meet these specifica-

tions could seriously damage

the recorder or the adapter.

• Always plug the adapter into the

recorder before you plug it into

the cigarette-lighter socket, and

always unplug the adapter from

the cigarette-lighter socket

before you unplug it from the

recorder.

1. Set the DC adapter’s voltage

switch to 6V.

2. Insert the DC adapter’s black-

tipped barrel plug into the

adapter’s cord so it reads TIP-

NEG.

3. Insert the adapter’s barrel plug

into the CTR-94’s DC 6V jack.

4. Plug the adapter’s larger plug

into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter

socket.

CONNECTING AN

EARPHONE

For private listening, you can use the

supplied earphone. Insert the ear-

phone’s 1/8-inch plug into the EAR

jack.

Note: Connecting the earphone au-

tomatically disconnects the built-in

speaker.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these

guidelines when you use an ear-

phone.

• Do not listen at extremely high

volume levels. Extended high

volume listening can lead to per-

manent hearing loss.

• Set the volume to the lowest set-

ting before you begin listening.

After you begin listening, adjust

the volume to a comfortable

level.

• Once you set the volume, do not

increase it. Over time, your ears

adapt to the volume level, so a

volume level that does not

cause discomfort might still

damage your hearing.

Traffic Safety

Do not wear an earphone while oper-

ating a motor vehicle or riding a bicy-

cle. This can create a traffic hazard

and is illegal in some areas.

Even though some earphones are

designed to let you hear some out-

side sounds when listening at normal

volume levels, they still present a

traffic hazard.

OPERATION

LOADING A CASSETTE

1. Take up any slack in the tape by

turning one of the cassette’s

hubs with a pencil.

Caution: If you do not remove

excess slack, the tape might get

tangled in the record/playback

mechanism.

2. Press STOP/EJECT to open the

cassette compartment door.

3. Load the cassette with its open

edge toward the controls, the

desired side facing up, and its

full reel on the left.

4. Close the door.

PLAYING A TAPE

Warnin

:To protect your hearing, set

VOLUME to its lowest setting before

you begin playing a cassette tape.

1. Load a prerecorded cassette

tape into the compartment.

2. Press PLAY. The cassette plays

until it reaches the end of the

side, then it automatically stops

and PLAY releases.

Notes:

• Press PAUSE to temporarily

stop playback. To resume

playback, press PAUSE again.

• Press FAST-F or REWIND to

rapidly wind the tape forward

or backward. To resume play,

press STOP/EJECT then PLAY.

• The cassette automatically

stops when the tape reaches

the end only in the PLAY or

RECORD modes, and not in

the FAST-F or REWIND

modes.

RECORDING

Notes:

• Before you load a cassette tape

for recording, be sure the cas-

sette’s erase-protection tabs are

in place (see “Preventing Acci-

dental Erasure”).

• The CTR-94’s Automatic Level

Control (ALC) circuit automati-

cally adjusts the recording level.

VOLUME has no effect on

recording.

Using the Built-In

Microphone

The built-in condenser microphone is

a high-sensitivity microphone that

easily picks up sounds, near or far.

This is handy for recording confer-

ences or lectures.

1. Load a blank cassette tape, or

one you want to record over, into

the cassette compartment.

2. Place the recorder 2 or 3 feet

from the recording source.

3. Press RECORD to begin record-

ing. Both PLAY and RECORD

lock down.

4. Speak into MIC.

Note: To temporarily stop record-

ing, press PAUSE. To resume

recording, press PAUSE again.

5. Press STOP/EJECT to stop

recording.

Using an External

Microphone

You can connect an external micro-

phone with a 1/8-inch plug to the re-

corder. This is handy for when you

want to record only an individual’s

voice and exclude all other sounds

in the surrounding area. Your local

Radio Shack store carries a wide

variety of external microphones.

Note: Connecting an external micro-

phone automatically disconnects the

built-in condenser microphone.

1. Load a blank cassette tape, or

one you want to record over, into

the cassette compartment.

2. If the external microphone has

only a 1/8-inch plug, insert it into

the recorder’s MIC jack.

If the external microphone has

two plugs and an on/off switch,

you can remotely control the

CTR-94 from your microphone.

Insert the microphone’s 1/8-inch

plug into the recorder’s MIC jack,

and the smaller plug into the

REM

jack.

3. Press RECORD to begin record-

ing. Both PLAY and RECORD

lock down.

Note: To temporarily stop record-

ing, press PAUSE on the recorder

(or OFF on the microphone). To

resume recording, press PAUSE

again on the recorder (or ON on

the microphone).

4. Speak into the external micro-

phone.

5. Press STOP/EJECT to stop

recording.

Recording from an External

Audio Source

You can record directly from an ex-

ternal audio source, such as a radio,

tape deck, or CD player, using a suit-

able patch cord (not supplied) with a

1/8-inch plug.

Note: Before you connect an exter-

nal audio source to the recorder, be

sure the source’s and the recorder’s

volume controls are set to their mini-

mum setting.

1. Load a blank cassette tape, or

one you want to record over, into

the cassette compartment.

2. If you connected an external

microphone, disconnect it.

3. Connect your external audio

source to the AUX jack, using an

optional patch cord with a 1/8-

inch plug at one end and the

appropriate plug at the other end

that matches your audio

source’s output jack.

4. Start the sound source and set

its volume to a normal listening

level.
