RadioShack Multi-Phone Recording Control 43-1236 Telephone Recorder. Condition is new in package. Instructions 1. To record set machine to record mode. Then move record forward slash playback switch on the multiple phone recording control to record. When you left the receiver either to make a call or to receive one your recorder will automatically record. Note: a fully-round standard cassette may not record the first 10 seconds of a conversation because of the tape leader. To avoid this, turn on the recorder and let it run briefly. Better still, use a radio shack leaderless cassette. 2. To play back, move the record/playback switch on the recording control to play back. Rewind and play back in the usual manner. 3. When you do not wish to record a conversation, simply set your recorder so it will not record. Caution: it is illegal in some states to record a conversation without the consent of all parties to the conversation, including the telephone company. Check the laws in your area before using the two reg report features. Do not use the multi phone recording control on a party line since it would require a conversation in which you are not participant in. This would be unlawful. Complete inspections and clothes. Complies with all applicable FCC rules. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me anytime. Thank you for doing this item and happy Pricetronicing!!!
