Features

Your RadioShack Portable Cassette Re-

corder is a multi-functional recorder.

Easy to use and reliable, it is ideal for

both personal and business use. Its fea-

tures include:

Three Power Sources — you can pow-

er the recorder from four C batteries (not

supplied), standard AC power (with the

supplied power cord), or vehicle DC

power (with an optional DC adapter).

Full Automatic Stop — protects the

tape and tape handling parts by automat-

ically stopping the tape when it reaches

the end.

Preparation

CONNECTING POWER

You can power the recorder from any of

three power sources:

• Standard AC power (with the sup-

plied power cord)

• Internal batteries

• Your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter

socket (with an optional DC adapter)

Note: Connecting the power cord or a

DC adapter disconnects the internal bat-

teries.

Using AC Power

To power the recorder from standard AC

power, plug the supplied power cord into

the AC IN jack on the side of the record-

er. Then plug the other end into a stan-

dard AC outlet.

Warning: The power cord has a polar-

ized plug that is designed to fit into the

recorder’s jack and a standard AC outlet

only one way. If the plug does not easily

fit into the jack and AC outlet, do not

force either plug. Simply turn it over and

try again.

Caution: Always plug the power cord

into the AC IN jack before you plug it into

the AC outlet, and always unplug the

power cord from the AC outlet before

you unplug it from the AC IN jack.

Using Internal Batteries

You can power the recorder from four C

batteries (not supplied). For the best

performance and longest life, we recom-

mend RadioShack alkaline batteries.

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the

required size and recommended

type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries,

different types of batteries (stan-

dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or

rechargeable batteries of different

capacities.

Follow these steps to install batteries.

1. Press down on the battery compart-

ment cover and slide it off in the

direction of the arrow on the cover.

2. Install the batteries in the compart-

ment as indicated by the polarity

symbols (+ and –) marked inside.

3. Replace the cover.

4Preparation

When the record indicator becomes dim

during recording or the 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 re-

corder with batteries for a month or

more, remove the batteries. Batteries

can leak chemicals that can destroy

electronic parts.

Using Vehicle Battery Power

You can power the recorder from your

vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket using a

6V, 300 mA DC adapter and a size B

Adaptaplug™ adapter (neither supplied,

available at your local RadioShack

store).

Cautions:

• You must use a DC adapter that

supplies 6 volts and delivers at least

300 milliamps. Its center tip must be

set to positive, and its plug must cor-

rectly fit the recorder’s DC 6V jack.

Using an adapter that does not meet

these requirements could 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 ciga-

rette-lighter socket before you

unplug it from the recorder.

Follow these steps to use vehicle battery

power.

1. Set the DC adapter’s voltage switch

to 6V.

2. Insert the Adaptaplug adapter into

the adapter’s cord so it reads + TIP.

3. Insert the Adaptaplug’s barrel plug

into the DC 6V jack on the left side of

the recorder.

4. Insert the adapter’s larger plug into

the vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket.

USING AN EARPHONE

You can use an optional mono earphone

with a 1/8-inch (3.5-mm) mini plug to lis-

ten to a tape privately. Insert the ear-

phone’s

1/8-inch plug into the EAR jack.

14-1127.fm Page 4 Tuesday, May 2, 2000 2:40 PM

5Operation

Note: Connecting the earphone auto-

matically disconnects the built-in speak-

er.

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these

guidelines when you use the earphone.

• 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 vol-

ume levels. Extended high volume

listening can lead to permanent

hearing loss.

• Once you set the volume, do not

increase it. Over time, your ears

adapt to the volume level, so a vol-

ume level that does not cause dis-

comfort might still damage your

hearing.

Traffic Safety

Do not wear an earphone while operat-

ing a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle.

This can create a traffic hazard and can

be illegal in some areas.

Even though some earphones let you

hear some outside sounds when listen-

ing at normal volume levels, they still

can present a traffic hazard.

Operation

LOADING A CASSETTE

TAPE

1. Take up any slack in the tape by

turning one of the cassette’s hubs

nection, you need a suitable mono patch

cord with a 1/8-inch (3.5-mm) plug (avail-

able at your local RadioShack store).

Note: Before you connect an external

audio source to the recorder, be sure

the source’s volume control is set to its

minimum setting.

Follow these steps to record from an ex-

ternal audio source.

sooner, press STOP/EJECT. Then

stop the audio source.

Note: During recording, the speaker is

muted. If you want to monitor the record-

ing, connect an earphone (not supplied)

(see “Using an Earphone” on Page 4).

TAPE TIPS

Recommended Tapes

Tape quality greatly affects the quality of

the recording. We recommend extend-

ed-range or low noise Type 1 regular

length (60- or 90-minute) normal-bias

cassette tapes. We do not recommend

long-play cassette tapes such as C-

120s because they are thin and can

easily tangle.

Restoring Tape Tension and

Sound Quality

After you play a cassette tape several

times, the tape might become tightly

wound on the reels. This can cause

playback sound quality to deteriorate.

To restore the sound quality, fast-

forward the tape from the beginning to

the end of one side, then completely re-

wind it. Then loosen the tape reels by

gently tapping each edge of the cassette

on a flat surface.

8Care and Maintenance

Caution: Be careful not to damage the

cassette when tapping it. Do not touch

the exposed tape or allow any sharp ob-

jects near the cassette.

Erasing Tapes

To record over a cassette tape, simply

record as usual. The cassette deck

records over the previous recording.

You can quickly erase both sides of a

cassette tape using a RadioShack bulk

tape eraser.

Note: If you use metal or high-bias type

tape, the recorded sound might not be

erased properly.

Preventing Accidental Erasure

Cassette tapes have two erase-

protection tabs — one for each side.

When a tab is in place, you can record

on that side.

To prevent accidental erasure of a tape

recording, use a screwdriver to remove

one or both of the cassette tape’s erase-

protection tabs. This prevents RECORD

from being pressed.

If you later decide to record on a tape

side after you have removed the erase-

protection tab, place a piece of strong

plastic tape over that side’s erase-

protection hole. Be sure you cover only

the hole originally covered by the erase-

protection tab.

Caution: Removing the erase-protection

tabs does not prevent a bulk eraser from

erasing a cassette tape.

Care and Maintenance

Your RadioShack Portable Cassette Recorder is an example of superior design and

craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for your recorder so you

can enjoy it for years.

Keep the recorder dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids

might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.

Use and store the recorder only in normal temperature environments.

Temperature extremes can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam-

age batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

Keep the recorder away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature

wear of parts.

9Care and Maintenance

CLEANING THE TAPE-HANDLING PARTS

Dirt, dust, or particles of the tape's coating can accumulate on the tape heads and

other parts that the tape touches. This can greatly reduce the performance of the cas-

sette recorder. After every 20 hours of cassette recorder operation, follow these steps

to clean the tape-handling parts or use a RadioShack cassette deck cleaning kit.

1. Remove the batteries and disconnect any other power source.

2. Open the cassette compartment door and press PLAY to expose the tape-

handling parts.

3. Use a cotton swab dipped in denatured alcohol or tape head cleaning solution to

clean the tape guides, record/play head, pinch roller, and capstan.

4. When you finish cleaning, press STOP/EJECT and close the cassette compart-

ment door. Then reconnect power.

Handle the recorder gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit

boards and cases and can cause the recorder to work improperly.

Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.

Batteries can leak chemicals that damage your recorder’s electronic

parts.

Wipe the recorder with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.

Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to

clean the recorder.

Modifying or tampering with the recorder’s internal components can cause a mal-

function and might invalidate its warranty. If your recorder is not performing as it

should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
