Your RadioShack DR-86 Digital Re co rder is
ideal for quick note takin g. Its light weight and
small size make it easy to slip into a pocket,
briefcase, or purse. You can use it at school,
at a business conference, for dictation, or on
the go. You can start recording manually or
set the recorder so sound activates
recording. The reco rder provides an hour and
a half of recording time.

Three Message Folders

— let you save up
to 100 messages in each folder to organize
your messages more effectively.

Flash Memory

— digital recording means no

tapes to load or break.

PC Data Transfer Kit

— allows you to record

voice files directly to a PC.

Message Alarm Playback

— the recorder
sounds an alarm at a set time and date and
plays back a selected message.

Schedule Playback

— the recorder sounds
an alarm at a set time and plays back
schedule messages for a set date.

Your recorder requires two AAA batteries
(not supplied) for power. For the best
performance and lon gest life , we recom mend
RadioShack alkaline batteries.

Cautions:

• Use only fresh batteries of the required
size and recommended type.

• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (standard,
alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.

1. Slide the battery compartment cover in
the direction of the arrow to open it.

2. Place the batteries in the compartment
as indicated by the polarity symbols (+
and –) marked beside the compartment.

3. Snap the cover back in place.

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

• 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-v olume 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.
