automatically in response to the sound, to save tapes and batteries.
•Three-digit tape counter for indexing the tape contents.
•LOCK switch prevents the unit from accidental operation.
•Tape-end alarm sounds at the end of the tape.

Preparing a Power Source
Choose one of the following power sources
Dry Batteries (see Fig. A-a)
Make sure that nothing is connected to the DC IN 3V jack.
1 Open the battery compartment lid.
2 Insert two R03 (size AAA) batteries:
When to replace the batteries (see Fig. A-b)
Replace the batteries with new ones when the DICT/BATT lamp dims.
Notes on the DICT/BATT lamp
• After the batteries have been used for a while, the DICT/BATT lamp may flicker
with the playback sound when you turn up the volume; however, this does not
mean that you need to change the batteries.
• The unit will play back normally for a while even after the DICT/BATT lamp dims.
However, replace the batteries as soon as you can. If you do not, subsequent
recording will not be done correctly.
Notes on batteries
• Do not charge a dry battery.
• Do not use a new battery with an old one.
• Do not use different types of batteries.
• When you do not use the unit for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid any
damage caused by battery leakage and subsequent corrosion.
• Dry batteries will not be expended when another power source is connected.
House Current (see Fig. A-c)
Use the AC-E30HG AC power adaptor (not supplied). Connect the adaptor
to the DC IN 3V jack and to a wall outlet. Do not use any other AC power
adaptor.
Polarity of the plug
Inserting a Cassette
Before inserting the cassette, take up any slack in the tape with a thick
pencil. (see Fig. B-a)
Use only standard Microcassettes with this unit.
(see Fig. B-b)
Non-standard microcassettes cannot be used because their “L” dimension
(see illustration) is different.

Dictating with the Built-in
Microphone
You can start and stop dictating simply by sliding the function lever.
Before operating, make sure the following points.
•The LOCK switch is set to the opposite direction of the arrow.
•Set the VOR (Voice Operated Recording) switch to H or L, if necessary.
1 Slide the EJECT lever to open the cassette compartment lid.
2 Insert a cassette with the side to start dictating facing the lid.
3 Set the TAPE SPEED selector to the desired tape speed.
Recording time* Set to
60 minutes 2.4 cm**
120 minutes 1.2 cm
* Using both sides of the MC-60BM Microcassette.
**For optimum sound (recommended for normal use), set to 2.4 cm.
4 Slide up the function lever to DICT (dictation).
5 Speak into the microphone.
The DICT/BATT lamp flashes depending on the strength of the sound
during recording .
6 To stop dictating, slide down the function lever to STOP.
To eject a cassette, slide the EJECT lever.
To economize the tapes and batteries
Set the VOR switch to H or L. The tape moves only when sound is picked
up, and stops automatically when sound is no longer detected (The DICT/
BATT indicator goes out.), thus the minimum amount of tape is used.
If you want recording to start Set to
even with small sound H
only with a loud sound L
To index the tape contents
Set the TAPE COUNTER to 000 by pushing the reset button before
dictating.
To monitor the recording
Connect an earphone to the EAR (earphone) jack.
To listen to the just-recorded contents while dictating
Slide down the function lever to B. SPACE (back space), and release it at the
desired point.
