SAVING
A
PROGRAM
OR DATA FILE ON TAPE
1.
Insert
a
blank (new or bulk-erased)tape, and rewind it
to
the beginning of the
tape
(if using tape with a leader, be sure
to
advance it past the leader to the
beginning
of the recording
tape).
2. Before the
computer
is
ready
to
save the
program or
data, press RECORD and
PLAY together. Both keys should remain "down". You do not need
to
adjust
the volume
setting; the cassette unit
does that
automatically during
record op-
erations.
3. You can now save the
program or
data in
tape. While
data is
being saved, the LED
will illuminate.
The computer will turn the tape on and off
as
necessary
to
com-
plete the operation.
4.
When the operation is complete, press STOP
on the recorder.
Note:
It is
possible
to record two or more programs or data
files on
one side of a
tape.
However, this
takes a little extra care and attention on your part. First
rewind
the
tape and reset the
tape
counter. Then keep a written account of the
counter
reading where each
program or data file starts.
When you are ready
to load in
a
particular program or data
file,
rewind the tape,
reset the counter, then use fast-forward or rewind
to
position the
tape just
ahead
(one digit) of the desired
tape section.
OTHER USES
FOR THE
RECORDER
TO PLAYBACK
1.
Rewind the tape by pressing the REWIND/REVIEW
Key.
2. Press the
STOP/EJECT
Key when you reach that section of the tape
you wish
to
play.
3. Press the
PLAY Key and
adjust the VOLUME Control for
the desired sound
level from
the
speaker.
4. To stop
playback, press
the STOP/EJECT Key. If you want, let
the tape play to
the
end
and
the unit will
automatically shut off the power.
5.
When playing
back a recorded
tape,
make sure the RECORD Key is
not pressed
down
(otherwise
the
recorded
tape will be erased).
6.
For greater
fidelity,
you
can play back the sound through an external speaker
which has an
impedance
of 8
ohms.
Connect via a patch cord into the
EAR-
phone Jack
on the
side of the
recorder (check your Radio Shack store
for all
such
accessories).
CAUTION:
If you
use adapters other than
Radio Shack's recommended type,
you
must be sure
the voltage
is correct
(6
volts DC only) and that
the
center
terminal of
the connector is negative. Failure
to
observe these
two
vital points
may result in
damage
to
your recorder
and/or adapter.
