OPERATING PROCEDURES

TM 11-5835-241-13&P

NOTE

The slow speed (3-3/4 i.p.s.) is normally

used for voice recording (such as confer-

ences, etc.) and the fast speed (7-1/2 i.p.s.)

is normally used for recording music since it

provides better fidelity at high frequencies.

Set the tape counter to 000 using the knurled thumbwheel.

OPERATING PROCEDURES .

3-4.

The recorder has two modes of operation, the record mode and the

playback mode.

In the record mode, the sound input may be applied

using the microphone for "live" input, or from an external sound source

(radio, etc.) using the bridge input jack and attachment cord. In the

playback mode, the internal speaker may be used or an external speaker

connected to the EXTERNAL SPEAKER jack may be used.

RECORD OPERATION.

(2) Connect the microphone to the MIC jack, or an external

audio source (such as a radio, etc.) to BRIDGE INPUT jack using the

attachment cord.

(3) Depress RECORD switch and speak into the microphone or

apply audio from external source, and set the RECORD LEVEL control
