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-
