Connecting the recorder to the mains
Before connecting the recorder to the mains,
ensure that voltage selector @) is set to the local
mains supply. If it is not, turn the voltage selector
with a suitable screwdriver or one of the support
pins supplied until the correct voltage value ap-
pears in the recess. Then insert the female plug of
the mains lead into socket @3 and, after this, insert
the mains plug into the wall socket.
Note for users in Great Britain
When fitting a mains plug to the mains lead proceed as follows:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code: Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live. As these colours
may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the
terminals in your plug proceed as follows:
The Brown wire must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter L or coloured Red. The Blue wire must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or
coloured Black.
Note: This apparatus must be protected by a3 Amp fuse if a 13 Amp
plug is used or if any other type of plug is used by a 5 Amp fuse
either in the plug or adaptor or at the distribution board. If in doubt
consult a qualified electrician.

Note: When replacing the head cover ( (e.g. after
cleaning the heads), ensure that the position of the
pressure pad switch © corresponds with the
position of the orange lever &® (figs. 3-4).
Threading the tape
@ Place a full reel of tape on the left-hand reel
carrier @). This reel must turn anti-clockwise when
unwinding. Now draw out the top of reel spindle ©,
turn it slightly and allow it to spring back on the reel.
The reel is now clamped to the carrier. Attach an
empty reel to the right-hand reel disc by proceeding
in the same way.
@ Unwind about 30 cm of tape and, holding it taut
between both hands, lead it around the tape tension
stabilisers @ and through tape threading slot @
(fig. 1).
@ Still holding the tape taut, press the start of the
tape against the core of the empty reel and turn this
reel anti-clockwise until it begins to take up the
tape.
@ Press start key @, keep it depressed until the
