Headset Safety
Powering the Recorder
• Do not play your headset at a high volume. Hearing experts
advise against continuous extended play.
• If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue
use.
• Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle or bicycle, it may
create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
• You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
• Even if your headset is an open-air type designed to let you hear
outside sounds, don't turn up the volume so high that you can't hear
what's around you.
Important Battery Information
• Alkaline batteries are recommended for longer play. Carbon-zinc or
nickel cadmium rechargeable batteries can substantially reduce play
time.
• If you’re not going to use your player for a month or more, be sure to
remove batteries because they can leak and damage the unit.
• Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to federal, state,
and local regulations.
• Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different battery type,
if inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are not replaced at the same time,
if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made to charge a battery not
intended to be recharged.
• Discard leaky batteries immediately. Leaking batteries can cause skin
burns or other personal injury.
Battery Installation
1. Open hinged battery door by pressing down just above the arrow,
sliding it as indicated and lifting up. Note that to avoid damage to the
battery door, do not attempt to force door beyond its normal stopping
point.
2. Insert 2 “AA” alkaline batteries into the battery compartment. Be sure
each battery is installed as shown on the battery diagram in the battery
compartment.
3. Close the battery door by lowering and sliding door into the closed
position.
NOTE: If the recording sounds distorted, or if the tape moves very slowly
or not at all, check the batteries, try AC power or a fresh set of batteries
before seeking service (See Record/Battery Indicator).
AC/DC Converter (not included)
To save batteries you can use the AC Converter to operate your recorder.
The cord plugs into the DC 3V jack on the recorder and the AC end plugs
into a household outlet. When the AC/DC Converter is used, batteries are
automatically disconnected.
Record/ Battery Indicator
• Recording Indicator—Light will remain on when in continuous record
mode.
• Battery Condition Indicator—When in the record mode, the brightness
level of the light indicates battery condition. When the indicator is dim
or does not light, batteries are weak and need replacing. Note that the
optional AC/DC Converter (5-1751) must be disconnected from DC 3V
jack to check batteries.
