    holder window (reverse side).

           to the forward side.

4.  Set VOR to:

    ON to start and pause recording automatically to the sound.

    OFF to start and stop recording manually.

5.  Set MIC SENS to select the sensitivity of the microphone to:

    HIGH to record at meeting or in a quiet and/or spacious place.

    LOW to record for dictation or in a noisy place.

    NOTE:  When the sound to be recorded is not loud enough, set the VOR
           switch to OFF, or the unit may not start recording.

6.  Press (button) REC.  Recording starts.

TO MONITOR THE SOUND

Connect an earphone (not supplied) firmly to the EAR jack.

NOTES:  Do not use a CrO, (TYPE II) or metal (TYPE IV) tape, otherwise
        the sound may be distorted when you play back the tape, or the
        previous recording may not be erased completely.

        The SPEED CONTROL switch works in the playback mode only.
        Recording will be made independent of this control.

NOTES: on VOR (Voice Operated Recording) system

       When you use the system in a noisy place, noisy will be recorded
       and the unit will stay in the recording mode.  In this case, set
       MIC SENS to LOW to pick up necessary sound only.

       VOR system depends on the environmental conditions.  If you cannot
       get the desired results even though you adjust MIC SENS, set VOR
       to OFF.

To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded over

Break out and remove the casette tabs.  To reuse the tape for recording,
cover the tab hole with adhesive tape.

RECORDING WITH AN EXTERNAL MICROPHONE

Connect a microphone to the MIC jack.  There is a small projection to show
the portion of the MIC jack near the jack.  Use a microphone of low
impedance (less than 3 kilohms) such as ECM-T10 (not supplied).  When using
a plug-in-power system microphone, the power to the microphone, the power
to the microphone is supplied from this unit.

NOTE:  When recording with an external microphone, the VOR system may not
       work properly because of the difference in sensitivity.

RECORDING FROM ANOTHER EQUIPMENT

Connect another equipment to the MIC jack using the RK-G641 connecting
cord (not supplied).
