Operation

3. Insert the microcassette into the

door’s guides so the microcassette’s
open edge faces out.

Note: The arrow on the cassette
compartment door indicates tape
travel direction. Be sure the tape’s full
reel is in the opposite direction of the
arrow.

4. Close the cassette compartment

door.

RECORDING

When you use the VOX feature, recording
begins when the recorder picks up sound
and stops a few seconds after the sound
stops.

The 

VOL/VOX

 setting determines the

sound level that activates the VOX circuit
and starts recording. At higher settings, a
softer sound starts VOX recording. At low-
er settings, a louder sound starts VOX re-
cording. Use a low 

VOL/VOX

 setting in a

high-noise environment such as in a plane
or vehicle.

Note: You can monitor the sound level by
connecting an optional earphone.

1. Load the microcassette tape.
