You must prepare the tape recorder for progr.am and data transfer. The following steps are
necessary to do thi$:
1. Turn the " remote" switch on the interface (CE·150l OFF.
2. Put
a
tape into the tape recorder (an important step).
3. Find
a

4. If
your
recorder has an automatic volume control. set
it
on automatic. If
it
is a manual
volume control, turn the volume level up halfway between m iddle and maximum (i.e. 3/4
level). If y6ur recorder has a tone control, turn the tone control knob to a position
halfww
between intermediate and high 13/4 position).
5.
Turn the "remote" switch on the interface back
ON.
If your recorder does not have a
" remote" feature, (this means that there is no place to connect one of the wires of the
w iring harness,) use the "pause" key to tcmiporarily halt recording.

not have a ... pause" switch, you are 1nakin9 things difficult. 'ltVe st,on gly fE:commend that
you get a recorder that has one. This will make your new programming life much easier.
Better yet
get
one that has both, a remote feature. and a pause switch.
6. Depress bodl the RECORD and the PLAY keys simultaneously .
If
you are using a machine
without a "pause" switch you will want to do this immediately before saving the program.
