Your RadioShack Voice-Activated  
Cassette Recorder provides time-tested  
recording convenience in an affordable  
package. The recorder’s voice-activation  
feature lets you record only when there is  
sound, providing hands-free operation  
while recording. The built-in microphone is  
sensitive enough for the boardroom, a  
seminar, or a lecture hall. And your re-  
corder is small enough to fit in your brief-  
case or purse, so it can go wherever you go.

a specific section on  
the cassette. It resets

To protect your hearing, follow these  
guidelines when you use an earphone.  
Use the tape counter to keep track of the tape position  
during recording or playback. Before playing a tape, press  
the tape counter reset button to set the counter to 000.  
• Set the volume to the lowest setting  
before you begin listening. After you  
begin listening, adjust the volume to a  
comfortable level.  
Set the auto reverse switch inside the cassette compart-  
ment to  
(one-time playback) or  
(continuous)  
playback. One-time playback plays one side of the tape to  
its end, then automatically reverses the tape’s playback  
direction, plays the reverse side of the tape, then  
automatically stops.  
• 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 adapt  
to the volume level, so a volume level  
that does not cause discomfort might  
still damage your hearing.  
Fast forward  
Insert a tape then press PLAY. The  
button locks down and the tape plays.

To stop the tape, press STOP.

Switch DIRECTION  
to FWD to play the  
side of the cassette  
facing out, or to  
REV to play the side  
facing in.  
To stop play momentarily,  
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.  
slide PAUSE in the direction of  
the arrow. Slide PAUSE to the  
other position to resume play.  
Even though some earphones let you hear  
some outside sounds when listening at  
normal volume levels, they still can  
present a traffic hazard.  
Adjust VOLUME to the  
desired listening level.  
Turn PLAYBACK SPEED toward FAST to play the tape  
more quickly or toward SLOW to play it more slowly.

Recording

If you load a cassette with the erase-protection  
tabs broken off, do not try to force down  
RECORD. This can damage the recording  
mechanism.  
Use the built-in microphone or an optional external microphone to record.  
Set REC SPEED to NORM for normal recording or to EXT  
for extended recording (twice the normal recording time).  
When REC SPEED is set to EXT, the recorder puts the  
recording in half the space used during normal speed.

Playing a Tape  
• If you set DIRECTION to REV, the recorder  
plays only the reverse side and stops at the  
end of that side.  
Set MIC SENS to LO (low) when the sound source is  
nearby, or to HI (high) when the sound source is far away.  
• If you move DIRECTION from REV to FWD  
during playback, the recorder stops.  
• Continuous playback: plays both sides of the  
tape continuously until you press STOP.  
Press RECORD when you want to begin recording. RECORD and  
PLAY automatically lock down. If VOX is set to OUT, recording  
begins immediately. If VOX is set to IN, recording begins when  
the recorder picks up sound.  
• Set REC SPEED to NORM for tapes that  
have been prerecorded on other recorders  
or recorded with the normal record setting on  
this recorder. Or set REC SPEED to EXT for  
tapes that have been recorded with the  
extended record setting on this recorder.  
If you set VOX to IN, adjust VOX SENS to set the  
sound level at which recording begins. When you  
adjust VOX SENS higher, softer sounds start VOX  
recording. When you adjust VOX SENS lower,  
louder sounds start VOX recording.  
To stop recording  
before it automatically  
stops, press STOP.  
Recording  
• The recorder records on one side of the  
tape, automatically reverses the tape’s  
direction, records on the reverse side of the  
tape, then automatically stops.  
Slide VOICE ZOOM to ON to record specific voices without  
background interference. The recorder cuts off higher and  
lower frequency signals (background noise) and enhances  
the mid-range.  
• You can use an earphone (not supplied) to  
monitor a recording in progress.  
• To pause recording, slide PAUSE in the  
direction of the arrow. To resume recording,  
slide PAUSE to the other position.  
Set VOX to OUT to manually start and stop recording, or to  
IN to use voice-activated recording. When VOX is set to IN,  
recording begins when the recorder picks up sound and  
stops a few seconds after the sound stops.  
• Voice-activated recording saves power and  
tape if there are long or frequent pauses in  
the material you are recording.  
• Tapes recorded at EXT can play only on this  
recorder or on another recorder that has the  
extended recording feature.

If you record on a previously recorded tape,  
you replace the old recording with the new  
one. If you need to quickly erase an entire  
tape, you might prefer to use a bulk eraser  
(available at your local RadioShack store).

Using Fast Forward and Rewind  
• You can also rewind or fast-forward during  
playback to help you locate a specific portion  
of the tape (for example, if you are listening  
for a particular speech, statement or other  
audio cue). While holding it down, you hear  
the tape at a faster speed. To return to  
normal playback, release the button.

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 its  
erase-protection tab, place a piece of strong  
plastic tape over that side’s erase-protection  
hole. Be sure you cover only the hole

Dirt, dust, or particles from the tape’s

After you play a cassette tape several times,  
the tape might become tightly wound on the

quality to deteriorate. To restore the sound

completely rewind it. Then loosen the tape  
reels by gently tapping each side of the
