COMPACT CASSETTE SYSTEM
The en tir e compact casset te system uses a sta nd ard
tape speed of 17/ H ips and is compatible; i.e., monaural
and stereo r eco rd ed casse ttes ca n be played on either
st ereo or monaural cassette reco rd ers without a ny l oss
in quality . The compa tability is illustrated in th e above
diagra m. The left side s how s th e m onaura l tr ack posi-
tion (note tr ac k width .059 inch]: on th e rig ht side, the
track of .059 inch is sp lit into two st ereo tracks of 0.024
inch eac h ( lef t and right c hann els]. Because the to tal
track width of th e left a nd rig ht stereo channels is equa l
to that of th e monaural track, whe n a stereo casse tt e is
played on a monaural recorder the playback head will
sca n both the left a nd right cha nn els together. This re-
sults in au tomatic mixing of th e le ft and right cha nnel s
from the stereo tape giving you true monaural reproduc-
tion without any loss in the qu ality of the playback. Be-
cause of the compatibility most prerecorded Musicas-
se tt es a re compac t tape casse tt e st ereo record in gs and
can be played on the Carry-Corder's mona ur al system
with no los s of fidelity.

COMPACT CASSETTE
There a re three versions of the Compact C asset te: Th e
C60 with a tot al playing time of sixty minutes (thirty
minutes each side), the C90, total playing time ninety
minutes (forty-five minutes eac h sid e) and the C120, total
playing time one hundr ed twenty minutes (sixty minut es
each side).
Clear leader tape is attached to each end of the record-
ing tape in the cassette. The ends of the leader tape are
permanently secured to hubs inside the cassette; there-
fore, th e tape cannot pull loose. No tape threading is
necessary and the cassette housing protects the tape
from damage; therefore, the cassette c an be inserted or
remo ved easily at any time, not just at the beginning or
end of the tape.
The tape stops a ut omatically when it is fully wound
onto the right or left hubs in the casset te. Caution- The
drive mechanism co ntinues to operate; th e refor e, return
the Function Knob (9) to the Stop position when the end
of the tape is reached.
There is a vi ewi ng window on eac h side of a cassette.
The tape ca n be seen through this window and a rough
estimate can be m ade of the amount of tape still avail-
able for recording or playback.
INSERTING THE CASSETTE
Make sure Function Knob (9) is in the Stop position.
Remove th e cassette from the storage bo x and hold the
cassette so that the front (exposed tape area ] is facing
you
and the full hub of tape, as vi ewed through the cas-
sette window, is on y our left.
Slide the back · of the cassette into the compartment (a)
and push the front of the cassette down over the spind l es
(b) as shown by the arrows in the illu strat ion.
REMOVING THE CASSETTE
Ensure that Function Knob (9) is in the Stop position.
Grasp sides of the cassette and l if t up and out.
Drs. Nicholas and Dorothy Cummings Center for the History of Psychology
Special Interest Collection, The University of Akron

Cassette ca n be turned over and reinse rt ed to use sec-
o
nd side.
Store cassettes immediately.
COMPACT CASSETTE INDEX
In the cen t er of e. ac h Norelco cassette there is a Tape
Use Index with markings from 0 to 100. A tran spare nt
window by the index indicates at a glance the amount
of tape on each hub. Use this index as a guide when
winding or rewinding to an approximate spot on the
tape.
CASSETTE INDEX CARD
To keep accurate records of t ape recordings, a cassette
index card is enclosed in the plastic storage container.
The cassette index card has spa ce for indicating the
sides of the cassette (A or B) on whic h a recording was
made, the descriptio n of the recording, the date, and the
index marking. Fill in the cassette index card as you re-
cord; then, when yo u wish to play back a specific part
of the tape, simply insert the cassette in the recorder,
use Rewind (C) or Forward (D) to arrive quick ly at the
proper reference for that part of the tape yo u wish to
hear.
COMPACT CASSETTE STORAGE
The plastic compact cassette storage container sup-
p li ed with each cassette is dust proof and will keep the
cassette safely stored for long periods of time. The cas -
sette will fit only into the storag e box in one way. The
open end of the cassette s ho uld be fitted into the box.
The box is designed to lock the hubs of the cassette to
keep them from moving; the tape remains in the same
position as when it was st ored , ready for in stant use.
Store the cassette at room temperat ur e (not n ear any
source of heat] and in a reasonably dry area. Do not
store in an area that could be subject to strong magnetic
fields; e.g.,
loudspeaker magnets, transformers, or elec-
tric
motors. Keep out of direr.t su nlight for prolonged
periods of tim e.
BATTERIES -INSTALLATION
Batteries- Your transistorized Carry-Corder uses five
11/ 2 V standard flashlight "C" batteries. We recommend
that leak proof batteries be used.
A
new set of batteries will provide approximately 20
hours of service under normal operating conditions (fig-
ured at about 2 hours of use each day]. The life of the
batteries will be proportionately increased or decreased
if the record er is used for sh orter or longer periods. The
amount of power used by the recorder is also propor-
tion ate to the volume of the sound during playback.

within the red segment, the batteries are weak and
should be replaced ; however, the batteries still can be
used for playback for a limited time, but should not be
used for recording. The black area indicates the bat-
teri es ar e too weak for use in any function and should
be replaced .
After the batteries have been checked, pull the Func-
tion Knob back to the Stop position.
NOTE When the recorder is not going to be used for any
length o.f time, the batteries sho uld be removed.
If fa~ any reason the Carry-Corder must be shipped
or packed away for a journey, remove the batteries and
pack them separately.
Us ing the BE50A optional AC Adaptor accessory will
operate the recorder from a 110V outlet and will energ ize
the batteries a nd ex tend th e ir useful life.
HOW TO USE THE PATCH CORD
Us e th e Patch Cord (11) for recording or playback with
external equipment. The three-pin plug connects to
Socket (1) on the Carry-Corder. The phono plugs on the
other end of the patch cord are connected as follows:
Playback- Grey phono plug to ex ternal amplifier high
level input ; i.e., radio , TV, auxiliary, etc .
Record- Red phon a plug to externa l signal source ;
i.e.,
radio / tuner, phono, second recorder ,
etc.
FORWARD AND REWIND
The Forward ( .,...,.. ) and Rewind ( .......... ) functions are
used in conjunction with th e casset te index to locate
particular selections on a tape or to forward or rewind
the tape at high speed.
REWIND After recordi n g, rewind the tape on the left
hub of the cassette; it will then be ready for
playback. To rewind, push the Function
Knob (9) to the Rewind ( .......... ) position and
hold until the desired spot on the tape is
reached. Release the Function Knob (9) to
st op tape motion when the end or desired
pl ace on the tape is reac hed.

RECORD
HOW TO USE THE MICROPHONE
A microphone (7) with a start / stop switc h which con-
trols the
tap e is supplied wit h the Norelco Carry-Corder.
Th e microphone and switch can be used together or
separate l y.
The microphon e (7) is a dynamic omni-directional
type (picks
up sou nd from all directions]. The micro-
phone is very sens itive a nd will pick up sou n ds from
great distances; therefore, it can be used to record lec-
tures, conferences, et
c.
Due to th e sensitivity and wide directional pickup pat-
tern of the microphone , care must be t aken in its us e;
because the micropho ne picks up all sounds, including
unwanted ones, positioning and recording conditions
are important.
The micropl)one can be held in the ha nd or, used wit h
the
stand (7b), as a table microphone ·.
To
at tach to clothing, slide the clip over clothin g. To
use
as a table microphone, slide the bridge of the stand
(7b) under the clip of th e microphone until it is held
firmly
in pl ace.
Connect
the thr ee-p in Microphone Plug (5) lo Socket
(1) . Use of the stop /s tart sw it ch is optional (R emote
Control
), co nn ect to Socket (2).
Watch the VU Meter (10) while recording. The need le
should just e
nt er the red area of th e sca le only on oc-
casio
na l loud passages. Very soft passages may be given
a high
er recording level sett in g.
REMOTE CONTROL
REMOTE CONTROL MICROPHONE SWITCH
Both the reco rd and playback funct ions cfln be started
and stopped via rem ote co ntrol by using th e microphone
star t/ stop sw itch whi ch tu rn s the battery power on or

Solder wire to plug (c)
Position brass strain relief clip (b ) as s ho wn, then pin ch
it flat.
Plac e cover on plu g making sure th e inde x marking on
the cover is directly over th e groove on the plug.
CAUTION
Do not l eave th e Ca rr y-
Cord er in direct sunlig ht or
overheated areas; e.g., bea ch,
dashboard of car, etc. for
pr olon ged periods of tim e.
ACCIDENTAL ERASURE SAFETY FEATURE
The compact casset te is provided with a r ecord ing in-
terlo
ck safety fea tu re to prevent acci d ental er asu res of
prerecorded t apes; it prevents th e Record/ Lo ck pushbut-
t on (8) from fun c tionin g.
Th e casse tt e has two sides labe led A a nd B. To p reve nt
accidenta l erasures, in the rear of th e cassette two
knockout tab s (1 for each s id e) are provided and they
are eas ily removed by using any small instrument ; i.e.:
pencil, key,
screwdriver, etc. A slig ht forwar d pressure
on th e t abs will remove it. ·
In o rd er to ensu re removing the c orr ect tab for th e sid e
you wish to protect (A and / or B) , position th e cassette
so that th e front (exposed tape area) is facing you a nd
Drs. Nicholas and Dorothy Cummings Center for the History of Psychology
Special Interest Collection, The University of Akron

the side you wish to protect is facing up . Remove the tab
on the left rear of the cassette.
When the tabs are in place, the cassette is recordable.
In cases where the knockout tabs were removed and
you wish to make the cassette recordable again, place a
piece of adhesive tape over the hole; th is will defeat the
recording interlock and allow the Record/Lock push·
button (B) mechanism to perform its function again.
ERASING TAPES
When recording, all previous informatio n on the tape
wil be erased automatically. It is not necessary to erase
a tape separately before recording. However, if you de-
sire to
erase a section of tape (or a whole cassette of
(ape) set th e Record Level Control (4) to "0", depress
and hold down the Record /Lock pushbutton (B) and
simultaneously move the Function Control Knob (9) to
the Play /Record (A) position . The tape will start run-
ning and anything recorded previously will be erased
from the tape as it passes the erase head.
Only one side can be erased at a time.
RECORDING STEPS
Check the battery cond ition.
Load a
recordable cassette into the Carry-Corder.
Make sure the tape is fully wound on the left side of the
casse tte. Use the Rewind function ( ..,...,. ),if necessary.
Connect the program source (microphone, radio, tuner ,
phono, etc.) to the appropriate inpu! socket on the Carry-
Corder.
Turn the Record L evel Control (4) to "0".
To start tape movement a nd recording, hold down th e
red Record /Lock safety pushbutton (B) and move the
Function Knob (9) to the Play /Record (A) position. The
Record/Lock pushbutton (B) will remain · lo cked in the
record position until the Function Knob (9) is returned
to the Stop position.
Increase the setting of the Record Level control (4) un-
til the loud est passages of the program source deflect the
VU Meter (10) needle from the black to just enter ing the
red area. If the needle deflects into the red-green area ,
the recording l eve l is set too high and the recording will
be distorted (overload).
Use th e Function Knob (9) to stop recording.
Use the Stop / Start switch (7a) for interruptions (Re-
mote Control use of microphone or patchcord).
NOTE If the Record /Lock pushbutton (B) will not de-
press see "Acciden tal Erasure Safety Feature."
Connect the red phono plug on the pa t chcord to the ex-
t
ernal program source output (radio, tune r, phono , etc. ).

MAINTE NAN CE
The Norelco Carry-Corder requires a mm1mum of
maintenance.
Over a period of time, tape oxide particles
form
on the magnetic heads, capstan shaft, and the rub-
ber pressure roller. Clean as follows:
Remove the tape cassette (12) from the Carry-Corder .
Set the Function Knob (9 ) in the Play/Record [ & )
position.
Use a cotton - tipped swab or any lint free cloth wrapped
ar ou nd a small stick mois tened with a little alcohol
(common
