Battery operation & installation
1. Remove the Battery cover on the base of the unit by pushing the
ribbed tab in the direction of the arrow.
2. Insert 4 x LR14 (C size) batteries into the battery compartment. Take
care to ensure all batteries are inserted with the correct polarity as
shown inside the battery compartment.
3. Replace the Battery cover.
Batteries are necessary to maintain the clock and timer memories
in the event of a mains power failure.
Reduced power, distortion and a 'stuttering' sound are all signs that
the batteries may need replacing.
We would recommend for economy that the C9950 is used on the
mains whenever possible with battery operation for occasional or
stand-by use only.
Carrying handle
Your cassette recorder has a handle for travel purposes. To access the
handle place your fingers in the well underneath and to the right hand side
of the recorder and pull gently.

Using headphones (not included)
Headphones or earphones for use with your C9950 should be stereo and
fitted with a 3.5mm stereo jack plug. Insert the headphone plug into the
socket located on the front left side of your cassette recorder. When
the headphones are plugged in the loudspeaker is automatically
disconnected.
Using the AC adaptor
Insert the adaptor plug into the DC socket on the right side of your
cassette recorder. Plug the adaptor into a standard 13A mains socket
outlet. Whenever the adaptor is used the batteries are automatically
disconnected.
The AC adaptor should be disconnected from the mains supply and your
cassette recorder when not in use.
We would recommend for economy that the C9950 be used via an AC
adaptor whenever possible with battery operation for occasional or
stand-by use only.
Cassette Tapes
High quality 90 min (C90) tapes are recommended for use in your
cassette recorder. In tests these provide a balance between maximum
recording time and prolonged tape life. Audio cassette tapes are available
up to 120 minutes in length, however the tape material is thin and may
stretch or break during recording or playback and are not recommended
for use with your cassette recorder.

Ensure that the correct 12 hour cycle is selected.
Note: each time you press the Minute button the seconds reset to '00'.
