Your RadioShack DR-86 Digital Recorder is
ideal for quick note taking. Its light weight and
small size make it easy to slip into a pocket,
briefcase, or purse. You can use it at school,
at a business conference, for dictation, or on
the go. You can start recording manually or
set the recorder so sound activates
recording. The recorder provides anhour and
a half of recording time.
Three Message Folders — let you save up
to 100 messages in each folder to organize
your messages more effectively.
Flash Memory — digital recording means no
tapes to load or break.
PC Data Transfer Kit — allows you to record
voice files directly to a PC.
Message Alarm Playback — the recorder
sounds an alarm at a set time and date and
plays back a selected message.
Schedule Playback — the recorder sounds
an alarm at a set time and plays back
schedule messages for a set date.

Your recorder requires two AAA batteries
(not supplied) for power. For the best
performance and longest life, we recommend
RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required
size and recommended type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries,
different types of batteries (standard,
alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different
capacities.
1. Slide the battery compartment cover in
the direction of the arrow to open it.
2. Place the batteries in the compartment
as indicated by the polarity symbols (+
and –) marked beside the compartment.
3. Snap the cover back in place.
Note: When you install or replace the
batteries, the hour indicator flashes. See

“Setting the Clock” on Page 2 for instructions
on setting the time and date.
When the recorder stops operating properly,
replace the batteries. We recommend you
slide HOLD in the direction of the arrow
before replacing batteries to maintain the
current settings (date/time, etc.). For your
convenience, the recorder also saves the
current settings in its nonvolatile memory at
hourly intervals.
Warning: Dispose of old batteries promptly
and properly. Do not burn or bury them.
Caution: If you do not plan to use the
recorder for an extended period, remove the
batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that
can destroy electronic parts.
When the batteries are depleted,
appears and the recorder
automatically shuts off. Replace batteries as
soon as possible.

You can use an optional monoearphone with
a 1/8inch (3.5 mm) mini-plug to listen to your
recordings in private. Your local RadioShack
store carries a wide selection of earphones.
Insert the earphone's plug into the recorder's
EAR jack. The built-in speaker automatically

To protect your hearing, follow these
guidelines when you use earphones.
• Set the volume to the lowest setting
before you begin listening. After you
begin listening, adjust the volume to a
comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume
levels. Extended high-volume listening
can lead to permanent hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not
increase it. Over time, your ears adapt to
the volume level, so a volume level that
does not cause discomfort might still
damage your hearing.
64#((+%"5#('6;
Do not wear an earphone while operating a
motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. This can
create a traffic hazard and could be illegal in
some areas.
Even though some earphones let you hear
some outside sounds when listening at
normal volume levels, they still can present a
traffic hazard.
