Notes: • If the phone line jack is not a modular jack, you must update the wiring. You can convert the wiring yourself, using jacks and adapters available at your local RadioShack store, or you can let the phone company update the wiring for you. • The USOC number of the jack to be installed is RJ11C. CONNECTING TO A PHONE You can use the supplied handset adapter to connect the telephone cassette recorder to the same phone you plan to talk on. When connected this way, the recorder only records the phone conversations on that phone. Important: The law in some areas requires that all parties on the phone line be able to hear a beep indicating the conversation is being recorded. If you connect the telephone cassette recorder to your phone using the supplied dualprong cord and handset adapter, all parties on the phone line might not hear a beep during recording. We recommend you check the laws in your area. If it is unlawful to record without a beep sounding, or if you are unsure, connect the telephone cassette recorder as described in "Connecting Directly to the Phone Line" to ensure the beep will sound.
