TAPE CASSETTES
When
the full length of the tape has run
through the machine in one direction, only half
of the tape width has been used. By turning the
cassette over and reinserting it you can use the
other haif. Optionally available General Electric
tape cassettes are shown below.
RT-7201 — Total playing time
1 hour (1/2 hour per side)
RT-7220 — Total playing time
2 hours (1 hour per side)
MICROPHONES —
RV1283 or RV1767
The
optional
deluxe
RV1283
or

RV1767 microphone plugs into the MIC jacks.
To stop the recording temporarily, slide the ON-
OFF switch located on the microphone to OFF.

the optional
microphone
is used, the
built-in
microphone
is automatically
discon-
nected.

on your set. With the earphone plugged in, the
speaker is automatically silenced for private
listening.

The optional patchcord kit makes it possible to
record direct from most
radios, other tape
machines or phonographs.
Plug one adapter
into PATCHCORD
IN (See Accessory
Con-
nections)
and. the opposite
side into EAR
LINEOUT, or TAPE OUTPUT jacks on the other

unit. Direct recordings eliminate background
noise
problems
normally
encountered
with
microphones.
The patchcord may also be used to record your
favorite selections on another tape recorder.
Plug one adapter into PATCHCORD OUT and
the opposite side into TAPE INPUT jacks on the
other tape recorder.
Be sure to connect
the
proper
impedance
adapter plugs as described in the patchcord
instructions.

temporarily

FOOT SWITCH — RT9057
When you need to have your hands free for
writing or any other purpose, the recorder can
be operated with an optional accessory foot
switch. Just plug the cord into the small MIC
jack on the cabinet and use the foot switch to
start and stop the recorder.
CLEANING THE HEADS
lron oxide particles from the magnetic tape will,
in time, build up on the parts that come into
direct contact with the tape. These deposits can
cause
incomplete
erasure
and
a
sort
of
"muffled" sound during playback.
With the cassette
door open
and in PLAY
position;
the parts indicated above can be
cleaned (gently) with a cotton swab moistened
with denatured (not rubbing) alcohol. Always
unplug the power cord while cleaning and allow
(30) minutes drying time. An easier method is
to use the optional RT7230 cleaning cassette.
Be sure
you
use
it sparingly
and
only as
directed.
IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY
1. Go back through the instructions to make
sure you haven't omitted something.
2. Check the batteries — they could be in back-
wards, weak, dead, or not making contact is
the unit OK on AC operation?
3. When using the remote microphone, is the
switch in the "ON" position?
4. Muffled sound? Do the heads need cleaning?
5. Bad cassette? Try a known good one.
6. Won't go into Record? Tabs on cassette may
be punched out.
7. Is AC/DC switch in correct position?
