4 FEATURES Your RadioShack TR C-300 Voice Activat- ed Microcassette Tele-Recorder is pe rfect for your home or office. It records tele- phone calls you make or receive from a telephone. You can also u se it a s a conve- nient tape recorder to record other events such as lectures, interviews, and meet- ings.
5 Voice Activated Recording (VOX) — records only when it receives sound, to eliminate blank se ctions on the tape and save battery power. Play/Record Auto-Stop — stops the tape movement when the recorder reaches the end of the tape during re cording or play- back.
6 Built-In Microphone — lets you record without connecting an external micro- phone. Cue/Review Function — lets you ad- vance or rewind the tape during play to find a specific section on the tape.
7 Automatic Level Control — automatically adjusts the recording level. Note: You need at least one 30-minute mi- crocassette tape. If you use a leaderless incoming message tape, recording starts immediately. You al so need either two AA batteries or an AC or DC adapter.
8 Important: Every state has different regu- lations governing the rec ording of conver- sations over the teleph one. Be sure to check your local, state and federal laws be- fore using this product to record any tele- phone conver sation in orde r to determine that your use is in compliance with such laws or guidel ines.
