BUILT-IN
A.L.C.
CIRCUIT:

to
automatically obtain perfect
record-
ing
level
for
both
voice
and music
recording
—
no need
to adjust
Volume
while
recording.
TAPE COUNTER:
Helps
you
to
quickly
find
a
specific section
of the
tape.
MECHANICAL
PAUSE:
Permits
you
to
stop the tape instantaneously
either in
Record
or Play
mode.
ULTRA-CONVENIENT
3-WAY POWER:
Use with
AC,
built-in batteries or
with
an
external
source of 6
volts
DC

in
your

BATTERY/RECORD
LED
INDICATOR:
Serves
two
functions.
During Recording,
the
LED
will flicker
on
peaks
of recording
signal. In
any other function,
it
will
give
you
an indication of the battery condition
-
the
LED
lights
up
when
the
bat-
teries
need
to
be
replaced.
You may
note
that
BATTERY
Indicator flashes briefly as
you
switch function
keys. This
is
normal and does
not
mean
the
batteries are
weak
(if
the
LED
stays
on, the
batteries
do need
to
be
replaced).
The
BATTERY
Indicator
kdesigned
so that the
LED
lights
up any
time
the voltage
drops
below
the required
level.
