Pause Button
This convenient PAUSE feature is most helpful while recording because
you can stop the recorder momentarily without resetting the control
buttons. Depress the PAUSE button to stop operation in PLAY, RECORD,
FFWD, and REW modes. Press button again to resume operation. Note
that if the PAUSE button is activated (depressed) it can also be
deactivated by pressing the STOP button.

Tape Play
To listen to your recorded microcassette, rewind to the starting point and
press STOP/ EJECT button. Press PLAY and adjust the VOLUME to desired
listening level.
IMPORTANT: Tapes must be played back at the same speed in which
they were recorded.
• REW—Slide switch to REW to rewind to beginning or any point of your
recording. Press STOP/EJECT button after you have rewound the
desired amount.
• FFWD—Slide switch to FFWD to advance the tape. Press STOP/EJECT

Review (REV)/ CUE
This feature is helpful in finding the beginning or the end of the recorded
segment on the tape. While in PLAY mode, Slide and hold REV or CUE
switch and listen for change from noise to silence (end of recording) or
from silence to noise (beginning of recording).
When desired portion has been reached, release REV or CUE switch.
Use the same procedure if you want to skip a portion or listen to the same
segment again.

Tape Speed
• Normal—is the tape speed which is compatible with most single-speed
microcassette recorders.
• 1/2—doubles the record time and will allow up to 2 hours of recording
time when using both sides of a 60 minute (MC-60) microcassette tape.
IMPORTANT: Do not change speed while recording.
Automatic Voice Activated Recording Switch (avr)
The AVR feature allows the recorder to sense sound and to record only
when you are speaking into the microphone. When dictation stops for
approximately 6 seconds, tape operation will stop. Recording will start
again when you resume dictation.
• On position—a tape saver. Ideal feature to allow for hands-free
operation during dictation.
• Off position—The AVR circuit is disconnected and recording is
continuous when unit is in RECORD mode.
Record with AVR On
1. Place the AVR switch in ON position.
2. Press RECORD button (PLAY button will depress also). Note that your
recorder is equipped with a microcassette sensing mechanism. This
mechanism prevents the RECORD button from being pressed when
cassette is not in the recorder. (See Erase Protection.)
3. Select HI or LO with the MIC sensitivity switch.
4. Adjust the VOLUME control so that the sensitivity of the built-in mic is
at the point where your voice level will just activate the AVR feature and
automatically start recording. The first syllable or two may be lost when
you start recording, because this “sound” is used to turn on the AVR
feature. It is a good practice to make some “sound or say a short word to
activate the AVR before you begin actual dictation. Recorder will
automatically stop recording when you cease dictation for a period of
approximately 6 seconds.
5. Push STOP EJECT button when finished recording.
Playback Switch
During the PLAY mode, you can speed up the playback of recording tapes

• NORMAL—Playback at normal speed.
