PLAY: Starts tape playback.
REWIND: Rewinds tape for review of recordings.
FORWARD: Winds tape forward to find desired recording.
STOP/EJECT: Will stop tape when pressed. Also will open Cassette Door

to tape may occur.
Recording:
The Telephone Recorder features 3 different recording modes; Line
Activation Mode, Voice Control System (VCS) Mode, Timer Recording
Mode.
Rather, the recorder will record based on the presence of an audio signal.
This mode is recommended only for use with non-standard telephone
lines (e.g. KSU or PBX analog lines). Connect the recorder to the voice
path and select VCS from the rear panel. When you press the Record key,
REC. VCS will display in the LCD. The tape will record for a few moments
(even though the phone line is inactive) and then stop. If you use the VCS
mode during a phone call, and there is an extended moment of silence,
(e.g. being placed on hold) the tape will stop recording. At this moment, a
Time and Date Stamp will be placed in the cassette and the call counter
will increment. During playback, this intermediate Time and Date Stamp
will be displayed during the conversation. Note Caller ID functions are
unavailable in VCS mode.
VCS Sensitivity:
The sensitivity of the VCS system is preset at the factory. If however,
you are finding that the Telephone Recorder is not sensitive enough and
it does not record portions of your conversation, the sensitivity can be
adjusted. The sensitivity setting is found on the bottom of the unit. Using a
small screwdriver you can rotate the control and adjust it accordingly. If the
VCS sensitivity is set too high, the recorder will continue to record during
silent periods. If this occurs reduce the sensitivity.
Timer Recording Mode:
This new mode is similar to the Line Activation mode except that only
the first N minutes of every call is recorded (where N = 1 through 9). This
mode is handy for when you need a record of telephone calls including
who was spoken to but wish to conserve tape. Using this mode you can
record call details on over 150 phone calls per side of a C120 cassette!
(using VCS mode and extended recording mode). All instructions for
the Line Activation mode apply to the Timer Recording mode. The only
difference is that the recording will be cut-off for all calls after N minutes
have elapsed. All call data is still written to the cassette.
Tape Head Maintenance:
Use rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab to clean the tape head surfaces,
pinch roller (black rubber roller) and capstan (metal spindle) once every
three months. Commercial tape path cleaners may also be used.
