cassette 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 cas-
sette recorder with batteries for a week or
longer, remove the batteries. Batteries can
leak chemicals that can destroy electronic
parts.
USING AC OR DC POWER
You can power the cassette recorder with
standard AC power using a 6V, 700 mA AC or
DC adapter and a size M Adaptaplug™ con-
nector (neither supplied) available at your lo-
cal RadioShack store.
Cautions:
You must use a Class 2 power
source that supplies 6V DC and
delivers at least 700 mA. Its
center tip must be set to negative and its
plug must fit the cassette recorder’s
DC
6V jack. Using an adapter that does not
meet these specifications could damage
the cassette recorder or the adapter.
• Always connect the AC or DC adapter to
the cassette recorder before you connect
it to a power source. When you finish, dis-
connect the adapter from its power
source before you disconnect it from the
cassette recorder.
1. Set the adapter’s voltage switch to 6V, if
necessary, then connect the Adaptaplug
to the adapter’s cord so the tip reads
TIP–.
2. Insert the barrel plug into the recorder’s
DC 6V jack.
3. Depending on which power source you
are using, plug the other end of the
adapter into a standard AC outlet or a
vehicle’s 12V power source, such as a
cigarette-lighter socket.
Notes:
• Connecting an AC or DC adapter auto-
matically disconnects internal batteries, if
installed.
• If the cassette recorder does not operate
properly when you use DC power, be
sure the 12V source (such as a cigarette-
lighter socket) is clean and that the
adapter’s plug is pushed all the way into
the socket.
• Disconnect the adapter when you are not
using the cassette recorder.
• Internal batteries (if installed) automati-
cally disconnect when you plug the
adapter into the
DC 6V jack.
LISTENING SAFELY
To protect your hearing, follow these guide-
lines when you use headphones.
• 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 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 vol-
ume level, so a volume level that does
not cause discomfort might still damage
your hearing.
TRAFFIC SAFETY
Do not wear headphones while operating a
motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can cre-
ate a traffic hazard and could be illegal in
some areas.
Even though some headphones let you hear
some outside sounds when listening at normal
volume levels, they still can present a traffic
hazard.
