Others

• Is the power source connected correctly?

  (pp. 15-16)

• When the Recording Pause Mode continues 

for more than 5 minutes, the power is turned 
off automatically for tape protection and power 
conservation. (If the AC Adaptor is used, the 
power is turned off only when the tape is 
inserted in Tape Recording Mode.) When the 
tape is inserted in Tape Recording Mode and 
if the Recording Pause Mode continues for 
more than 5 minutes the power is turned off 
automatically. To resume recording from this 
condition, turn off, then turn on the power again.
