sensitivity (R7) until the recorder remains on. If playback sounds "choppy"
because of constant stopping and starting, increase delay (R8) to add more
natural spacing between words and phrases.
IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY
Before seeking outside assistance, check below for a possible solution:
Does not turn on: Check battery condition, snap clip, and power leads. Also,
make sure lead polarity is correct (red to +, black to GND). Make sure power
switch is "on".
Transport Stays on: Setting of R7 or R8 too high, remote cable shorted.
Transport Won't Start: Setting for R7 or R8 too low, remote cable open.
If these checks fail to uncover the problem, repeat the "QC" check one more
time. Service records show that, for most malfunctioning kits, outright
component failure is relatively rare. In most cases, the culprit is a misplaced
part, reverse-polarized capacitor, improperly installed IC, or a faulty solder
connection. If, despite your best effort, you cannot solve the problem, kit repair
services are available through Vectronics. See the warranty on the inside front
cover for complete instructions.
