Preparation
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
To protect the record/playback head during shipment, a protec-
tive sleeve is positioned around the head. Gently pull open the
cassette compartment door and remove the sleeve before you
use the cassette recorder.
POWERING THE RECORDER
You can operate your recorder from any of these power sourc-
es:
• two AA batteries (not supplied)
• standard household AC power (using an optional AC
adapter)
• a 12-volt vehicle battery (using an optional DC adapter)
Note: Using an adapter automatically disconnects the internal
batteries.
Installing Batteries
You can power the recorder with two AA batteries (not sup-
plied). For the longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline
batteries.
