Important

: This product is capable of using re­chargeable nickel-cadmium batteries. At the end of a
nickel cadmium battery’s useful life, it must be recy­cled or disposed of properly. Contact your local,
county, or state hazardous waste management au­thorities for informat ion on recycling or dispos al p ro­grams in your area. Some options that might be
available are: municip al curbsid e collection , drop-off
boxes at retailers such as your local RadioShack
store, recycling collection centers, and mail-back
programs.

Using AC Power

To power the cassette recorder from a standard AC
outlet, you need an AC adapter such as Cat. No.
273-1663.

Cautions:

• You must use an AC adapter that supplies at
least 3 volts DC power and delivers at least 400
mA. Its center tip must be set to n ega tive, and its
barrel plug must properly fit the CTR-114’s

jack. The re co mm end ed ad apte r m eet s t hes e

Cautions:

• You must use a DC adapte r that supp li es at leas t

3 volts DC power and delivers at least 400 mA.
Its center tip must be set to negat iv e , and its bar­rel plug must properly fit the recorder’s
jack. The recommended adapter meets these
specifications. Using an adapter that does not
meet these specifications could damage the
recorder.

• Be sure you plug the adapter int o the cassette

recorder before you plug it into the cigarette­lighter socket, and unplug the adapter from the
cigarette-lighter socket before you unplug it from
the cassette recorder.

CONNECTING AN EARPHONE

You can use an optional earphone with a 1/8-inch
(3.5-mm) plug to listen to a tape in privacy. Insert the
earphone’s plug into the cassette recorder’s
jack.

Notes:

• You can also use an earphone during recording

to listen to what the recorder is picking up
through the internal or an external microphone.
(See “Recording” on Page 18.)

• Your local RadioShack store carries a wide

selection of earphones.

14-1120.fm Page 14 Wednesday, January 19, 2000 4:27 PM

Listening Safely

To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines
when you use an earphone.

• Rotate the volum e 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 list ening ca n lead to per ­manent 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.

Traffic Safety

Do not wear an earp hone w hile operat ing a m otor v e­hicle or riding a bicycle. This can create 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.

16

14-1120.fm Page 17 Wednesday, January 19, 2000 4:27 PM

OPERATION

You can use the recorder to play normal bias, high­bias, and metal tapes. However, you should only use
normal bias (Type I) tapes for reco rdin g. If y ou reco rd
on metal or high-bias tapes, the recorded sound will
not erase properly.

LOADING A CASSETTE TAPE

1. Take up any slack in the tape by turning the cas­sette’s hub with a pencil. Do not touch the
exposed tape.

2. Lift open the cassette compartment door.

17

14-1120.fm Page 18 Wednesday, January 19, 2000 4:27 PM

3. Insert a cassette into the door’s tape guides with
the cassette’s open edge facing up.

4. Close the door.

RECORDING

You can record using the built-in microphone or an
optional external microphone. For the best perfor­mance, use any normal bias (Type I) tape up to 90
minutes long. We do not recommend 120-minute
tapes because they are thin and can easily tangle.

TAPE TIPS

Erasing Tapes

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).

: If you use metal or high-bias type tape, the re-

Note

corded sound may not be erased properly.

Preventing Accidental Erasure

Cassettes 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.

14-1120.fm Page 30 Wednesday, January 19, 2000 4:27 PM

If you later decide to record on a tape side after you
have removed its era se- pro tect ion tab, pl ac e a piec e
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:

not prevent a bulk tape eraser from erasing a cas­sette tape.

Restoring Tape Tension and Sound
Quality

After you play a cas sette tap e s ev era l ti me s, 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 be gi nn i ng t o t h e en d of on e si d e, t h en c om ­pletely rewind it. Then l oosen the tape reels by gentl y
tapping each side of the cassette’s outer shell on a
flat surface.

Caution:

when tapping it. Do not touch the exposed tape or al­low any sharp objects near the cassette.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your Optimus CTR-114 Auto-Reverse Voice-Activat­ed Cassette Recorder is an example of su perior de­sign and craftsmanship. The following suggestions
will help you care for the cassette recorder so you
can enjoy it for years.

• Keep the recorder dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry
immediatel y. Liquids might contai n mine rals t hat
can corrode the electronic circuits.

• Use and store the recorder only in normal tem­perature environments. Temperature extremes
can shorten the life of electronic devices, dam­age batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

• Keep the recorder away from dust and dirt,
which can cause premature wear of parts.

• Handle the recorder gently and carefully. Drop­ping it 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 rec order with a damp cloth occasion­ally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh
chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter­gents to clean the recorder.

31

14-1120.fm Page 32 Wednesday, January 19, 2000 4:27 PM

Modifying or tampering with the recorder’s internal
components can cause a malfunction and might in­validate the recorder’s warranty. If your recorder is
not perform ing as it shoul d, take it to your local Ra ­dioShack store for assistance.

CLEANING THE TAPE-HANDLING
PARTS

Dirt, dust, or particles of the tape’s coating can accu­mulate on the tape heads and other parts the tape
touches. This can greatly reduce the performance of
the cassette recorder. After every 20 hours of tape
player operation, use a cassette deck cleaning kit or
follow these steps to clean the tape-handling parts.

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

2. Open the cassette compartment door.

3. Press
