INSTALLATION

You can connect the telephone cassette
recorder directly to the phone line or a
single phone. Select a location for your
telephone cassette recorder that is out
of the way of normal activities.

CONNECTING DIRECTLY 
TO THE PHONE LINE

When connected to the phone line, the
recorder records phone conversations
on any phone on that line. Follow these
steps to connect the telephone cassette
recorder to the phone line.

1. Plug the supplied dual-prong cord

into the recorder’s 

TEL

 jacks.

2. Insert the dual-prong cord’s modular

plug into a modular phone line jack.

Notes:

• If the phone line jack is not a

modular jack, you must update
the wiring. You can convert the
wiring yourself, using jacks and
adapters available at your local
RadioShack store, or you can let
the phone company update the
wiring for you.

• The USOC number of the jack to

be installed is RJ11C.

CONNECTING TO 
A PHONE

You can use the supplied handset
adapter to connect the telephone cas-
sette recorder to the same phone you
plan to talk on. When connected this
way, the recorder only records the
phone conversations on that phone.

Important: The law in some areas re-
quires that all parties on the phone line
be able to hear a beep indicating the
conversation is being recorded. If you
connect the telephone cassette recorder
to your phone using the supplied dual-
prong cord and handset adapter, all par-
ties on the phone line might not hear a
beep during recording.

We recommend you check the laws in
your area. If it is unlawful to record with-
out a beep sounding, or if you are un-
sure, connect the telephone cassette
recorder as described in “Connecting Di-
rectly to the Phone Line” to ensure the
beep will sound.

Note: The RadioShack Cat. No. 279-
357 adapter might be required for some
installations.

1. Plug the supplied dual-prong cord

into the recorder’s 

TEL

 jacks.

2. Insert the dual-prong cord’s modular

plug and the phone’s handset cord
into the handset adapter.
