Retell Standard Recorder
1.
Connect mains adapter to socket marked "DC 3V" or insert batteries in the battery
compartment at the base of the recorder. Do not leave batteries in the recorder for
long periods without use. Change the batteries regularly to avoid slow down of
playback.
2.
Insert cassette and ensure it is the right way round. The tape unwinds in the
direction of the arrow on the recorder's lid. When first using your recorder start with
side ‘A’ facing you.
3.
For automatic recording ensure that the record and play buttons are both pressed in
and that AUTO (VOX) is switched to 1 (on). When using the micro recorder the
volume should be turned to maximum. Every time that you lift your telephone
handset the recorder will record. If you want to record manually move the AUTO
(VOX) switch to 0 (off) and then press the record button each time that you want to
make a recording.
4.
REWind (REView) or FFwd (CUE) allows you to find recordings quickly. You can also
use this function whilst playing back recordings to move to a part of the tape where
you missed something or to find a space at the beginning or end of a recording.
5.
To pause playback simply press the PAUSE button in. To commence playback release
the PAUSE button.
6.
Recordings can be monitored live on the earpiece. Plug the earpiece into socket
marked with the " " symbol. Do not plug a call recording connector into this
socket.
7.
Slow speed recording will extend the recording time on your cassette (at the expense
of sound quality). On the standard cassette recorder position the switch to normal
speed or slow (one third speed). On the micro cassette recorder position the switch
to "2.4" for normal speed or "1.2" for slow (half speed). Note: Recordings should be
played back at the same speed they were recorded.
8.
The recorder has a built-in microphone for recording meetings but we recommend
the use of the lapel microphone (Retell part 163) for higher quality recordings.
9.
The Standard cassette recorder has a built in tape counters to help you search for
and locate recordings quickly.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
The Standard cassette recorder has a switch built into the battery compartment
(located below the battery spring) that alters the sensitivity of the automatic
record function. If you find that your recorder keeps on recording even when you
are not using the telephone or does not switch on when you make a call try
moving the switch either towards the battery spring or away from the spring. You
should find a more suitable level of sensitivity that allows your recorder to switch
on and off automatically. If you still experience difficulties then please call our
Technical Support Dept on 0871 872 4257 to have your recorder adjusted
accordingly
