14-1168 OWNER’S MANUAL Please read before using this equipment. Micro-40 Micro Cassette Recorder with VOX 14-1168.fm Page 2 Thursday, January 20, 2000 2:05 PM FEATURES Your Optimus Micro-40 Micro Cassette Record with VOX is ideal for quick note-taking. Its ultra-small size makes it easy to slip into a pocket or briefcase. You can use it at school, at business conferences, for dictation in the office, or anywhere on the go! You can record manually or set the recorder so sound activates recording. Your recorder includes these features: Voice-Activated Recording (VOX) — lets you set the Micro-40 so it records when it picks up sound and stops a few seconds after the sound stops. Tape Speed Switch — lets you record and play back tape at a slower speed (which provides twice the recording/playback time) or at normal speed (for maximum sound quality). Auto Stop — stops the tape when the recorder reaches the end of the tape during recording or playback. Tape Counter with Reset Button — lets you note specific points in a tape for later reference. © 1999 Tandy Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

Built-In Microphone and Speaker — let you record and play back notes anywhere. External Microphone Jack — lets you use an external, wide range microphone. Earphone Jack — lets you use an optional earphone for private listening. Automatic Level Control (ALC) Circuit — automatically sets the recording level. Three Power Options — you can power the recorder from standard AC power using an optional AC adapter, two AA batteries (not supplied), or a vehicle’s battery using an optional DC adapter. We recommend you write your recorder’s serial number here. The number is inside the battery compartment.

For the best performance and longest life, we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries. Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly; do not bury or burn them. Cautions: • Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type. • Never leave dead or weak batteries in the Micro-40. Batteries can leak chemicals that can destroy electronic circuits. • Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of different capacities. 5 14-1168.fm Page 6 Thursday, January 20, 2000 2:05 PM 1.

Notes: •If REC/BATT lights dimly during playback or recording, or it does not light at all, replace the batteries. • If you do not plan to use the Micro-40 for several days, or if you plan to use only AC or vehicle battery power, remove the batteries. 6 14-1168.fm Page 7 Thursday, January 20, 2000 2:05 PM Using AC Power You can power the Micro-40 from an AC outlet using an AC adapter (not supplied), such as RadioShack Cat.
