Cassette Tapes
We recommend high quality, 110 minute cassette tapes for use in the
VersaCorder. In tests, these tapes provide an acceptable balance
between maximum play/recording time and prolonged tape life. Longer
cassette tapes are available, however the tape material is very thin and
may stretch or break during operation. With the extra long tapes, any
cassette player is more likely to “eat” the tape.
Inserting Cassette Tapes
1) Press the STOP/EJECT Button to open the lid.
STOP/EJECT
Ribbon End Out
2) Insert the cassette as shown (above).
3) Once the tape is inserted correctly, close the cassette door gently.
The VersaCorder has the ability to record in NORMAL speed for best
audio quality. When extended recordings of talk radio, speeches and
lectures, telephone conversations, or any format that does not require a
high-fidelity recording is desired, the VersaCorder can be switched into
QUARTER speed mode. This mode will record 4 times longer than NOR-
MAL speed, however, record quality for music is reduced. If a recording
is made in QUARTER speed, it can only be played back in a QUARTER
speed player (unless you want voices to sound like chipmunks).

Special Recording Instructions
Recording A 4-Hour Radio Show On One Side
Of A 110-Minute Cassette Tape
The VersaCorder has a Six Event Timer that can be programmed to
come on and go off. This can be used to extend your tape time and
eliminate many commercials. To set up the VersaCorder for timed
recordings, press the program button to dial through the six timers.
Press the hour and minute buttons to set each timer. See page 10 for
instructions on setting the timer.
Most radio shows follow a regular schedule. Note the begin and end
times of the commercial breaks, so you can program the VersaCorder
correctly. For our example below, we have used a radio show which airs
its commercial breaks near the top of the hour and at the half hour.
Follow these steps to set all six timers:
Timer 1
On – Set Timer 1 to come on at 6 min. after the hour to begin
recording the show. (If the show starts at midnight, set the
timer for 12:06 AM.)
Off – Set Timer 1 to go off before the next commercial break, which
is at 30 min. after the hour (12:30 AM).
Timer 2
On – Set Timer 2 to come on at 34 min. after the hour (12:34 AM).
Off – Set Timer 2 to go off at 58 min. after the hour (12:58 AM
)
before the next commercial break.
Timer 3
On – Set Timer 3 to come on 6 min. after the second hour (1:06).
Off – Set Timer 3 to go off at 30 min. after the second hour (1:30).
Timer 4
On – Set Timer 4 to come on at 34 min. after the second hour
(1:34).
Off – Set Timer 4 to go off at 58 min. after the second hour (1:58).
Timer 5
On – Set Timer 5 to come on at 6 min. after the third hour (2:06).
Off – Set Timer 5 to go off at 58 min. after the third hour (2:58).
Timer 6
On – Set Timer 6 to come on at 6 min. after the fourth hour (3:06).
Off – Set Timer 6 to go off at 58 min. after the fourth hour (3:58).

Recording Instructions
Using Voice Activated Recording
1) Set the VersaCorder on QUARTER speed for longest record time.
2) Switch VOICE ACTIVATED to “ON”.
3) Press the “PLAY” and “RECORD” Buttons at the same time.
4) Set SENSITIVITY so the recorder starts when someone is talking.
SENSITIVITY

NORMAL OR
QUARTER SPEED
Sensitivity can be set on 1, 2, or 3. Number “1” is the most sensitive
and can be used when there is little background noise and you would
like to record people in a room, such as a meeting. Number “2” works
well when a single person is talking within 2 feet of the microphone.
Number “3” is the least sensitive and can be used to record someone
speaking directly into the microphone (good for high background noise
areas).
The voice activated feature on the VersaCorder can be used with a
police scanner, to save tape, or in a 911 center to record phone calls.
Recording Instructions
Using Voice Activated Recording with Timer
The VersaCorder may also be set up for a timed and voice activated
recording.This might be used to record noises in a room at a certain
time of day. It could also be used to record a conference when you can-
not be there.
1) Follow the above instructions for voice activated recording.
2) Set the timer. See page 10 for instructions on setting the timer.

Remote Switch Operation
Some radios have a special Remote Switch connection provided. This is
for directly recording from a built in timer on the radio. The VersaCorder
may be compatible with the remote switch supplied on these receivers.
Please refer to the radio or device’s manual for proper operation of this
feature. The Remote Switch works with the CCRadioplus, Sangean
ATS909, Radio Shack DX398, and the Grundig Satelit series.
Remote Switch Operation
For Use With the CCRadioplus
The patch cord provided with the VersaCorder
can be used with the CCRadioplus as shown in
the photo. It is color coded for ease of installa-
tion. When the plugs are inserted, the
CCRadioplus becomes the master control for
the timer and overrides the VersaCorder’s
timer. (Please refer to page 16 of the
CCRadioplus manual on Setting the Timer.)
You can set up the VersaCorder as follows:
1) Plug the patch cord in according to color coding.
2) Set VOICE ACTIVATED to the “OFF” position.
3) Set TIMER to the “OFF” position.
4) Press the RECORD and PLAY Buttons on the VersaCorder.
5) Set the desired speed of the VersaCorder.

Playback Instructions
1) Insert tape. The side you want to listen to should be facing up. Refer
to page 8 for instructions.
2) Press REWIND until the tape
stops.
3) When tape is fully rewound,
press the PLAY Button.
VOLUME
PLAY
REWIND
If you are checking your test
recording, ensure the volume is at an adequate level and the audio
does not distort. If audio is distorted, the audio source volume is turned
up too high. If low or no audio is present, turn up volume or refer to
trouble shooting section on pages 17-18.
If you are playing a pre-recorded cassette tape (i.e one purchased from
the store), the recording was most likely made in NORMAL speed. Insert
the cassette tape into the recorder (For proper tape installation, please
refer to Inserting Cassette Tapes on page 8). Position the SPEED switch
on the front of the recorder to NORMAL and press the PLAY Button.
Note: The VersaCorder will play tapes back in stereo through the
headphone jack.
Audio Sources
LINE IN/OUT:
LINE IN is a special connection
that is compatible with any LINE
OUT (or headphone jack),
commonly found on portable CD
players, AM/FM/shortwave re-
ceivers, computer audio output, etc. “LINE LEVEL” refers to a low level
audio that does not change when you increase the volume of the
receiver or other audio device. You can connect the LINE OUT of any
device through the supplied audio cables into the VersaCorder’s LINE
IN and record the audio from that device. The headphone jack of a
radio or other device can be used if there is not a LINE OUT available.
Since the headphone jack will vary with the volume control, it is best to
do a test recording and play back to obtain best results.
MIC IN:
Just about any condenser-type microphone will work well with the
Versacorder. The jack is a 1/8" (3.5mm).

Troubleshooting Guide
Slow FF and REW speed or varying speed during record/playback:
This is a symptom of low batteries. Plugging in the AC Adapter should
cure the problem. It is recommended that you plug in the AC Adapter
when changing batteries to avoid losing clock and timer settings. If the
batteries are removed and the AC Adapter is not plugged in, all clock
and timer settings will be lost within three minutes.
I can’t record on my tape:
Cassette tapes have a “record protection” tab on the bottom of the cas-
sette that can be removed to prevent the tape from being erased or
recorded over. If the tab is removed, you will not be able to record on
this tape. Removing the tab prohibits the REC button on the
VersaCorder from being pushed down.
I only get the room noise when trying to record:
Please read the instructions on LINE IN on page 9 & 16 before record-
ing. Your low-level audio source must be plugged into the LINE IN jack
on the side of the VersaCorder before recording from an external audio
device. If nothing is plugged into the LINE IN jack, the internal micro-
phone on the VersaCorder is activated and will record audio from your
room.
Audio on playback is distorted:
If audio is distorted on playback be sure the audio coming from your
receiver is at a low level. Distorted audio can also be caused by an old
tape or low batteries.
My recorder is not recording at the right time:
If your recorder does not record at the right time be sure the AM and
PM and DAY are correct. Also make sure you have set a different ON
and OFF Time. If you are recording a four hour talk show that starts at
11:00 PM on Monday be sure to change the OFF time DAY to Tuesday.
I keep getting a beep in my recordings:
Check the BEEP switch on the bottom of the VersaCorder and make
sure it is set to OFF
.

Troubleshooting Guide
I have programmed the timer but it will not record:
1) Check to see that the TIMER switch is on, the REC and PLAY
buttons are pushed down, and the PROGRAM time is correctly set
for AM or PM. See page 10 for Recording Instructions.
2) Is the patch cord plugged in? Unless you have a CCRadioplus and
have programmed it to start the VersaCorder, do not plug the patch
cord into the TIMER ACTIVATION SWITCH

port. See page 15 for
The VersaCorder is eating my tapes:
If the VersaCorder starts “eating” your tapes, please remember we rec-
ommend tapes no longer than 110 minutes for reliable service. Longer
tapes are more likely to wind around the tape mechanism and create a
problem. If a 110 minute tape continues to wind around the mechanism
then try a new tape or rewind and fast forward the tape before trying
again. If the recorder continues to jam up, even on new tapes, your unit
may need servicing or replacing.
I keep hearing a “clicking” noise on my tape:
Check to see if the counter is at 9999 and has not rolled over. Just push
the reset button on the counter to reset it to zero.
The VersaCorder’s audio is too low on playback, and I hear a hiss
in the background:
The recording was made with the source volume set too low. First,
make sure the VersaCorder is properly connected to the audio source.
Next, increase the volume on the audio source and re-record and test
the volume on the new recording. If the volume from the audio source is
set too low, you will record only tape hiss and setting the volume from
the audio source too high will cause the recorded sound to be distorted.
Can I use the phone patch cord and the radio patch cord at the
same time?
No. In order to record using the phone patch cord, you must disconnect
the radio patch cord from the LINE IN jack.
Maintenance:
It is a good idea to keep your VersaCorder and tapes as clean as possi-
ble. Tape recorders under daily heavy use, often last only about one
year. Dust and dirt is the biggest cause of wear.

About C. Crane Company Inc.
The C. Crane Company began soon after Bob and Sue Crane moved
from the San Francisco Bay Area to the beautiful and remote Redwood
Country of Northern California. As they settled into Fortuna, in the heart
of the Redwoods, and tried to tune in their favorite AM stations, Bob
and Sue were shocked. They either heard a lot of static or nothing at
all. Trying to find a solution, they soon discovered there were few prod-
ucts available to enhance poor AM radio.
Bob, being an all-around clever guy, found his own solution to weak AM
reception: the Select-A-Tenna! The Cranes were so impressed with this
simple antenna that they knew they had to get the word out. So, they
decided to create a company to market this wonderful antenna: the C.
Crane Company was born. As for the mysterious letter “C”, well, Bob
and Sue’s middle names both begin with the letter “C”, thus the name
C. Crane. They decided to advertise the antenna on the radio, and
before they knew it, the C. Crane Company was up and running.
That was over 25 years ago, and it all started on a kitchen table that
Bob built himself. This simple cherry wood table acted as the shipping
and receiving station, showroom table, and Bob’s office desk. Bob and
Sue were the first phone operators. This made them realize that their
customers expected to hear a real live person who is willing to listen to
their questions, and more importantly, able to respond to their inquiries
with knowledge and respect.
From the beginning, Bob and Sue Crane had a powerful idea about
what they expected from the company that carried their name. They
would only sell items they tested themselves and found to be of out-
standing quality. They would always offer a 30-day money back satis-
faction guarantee and be ready with the best customer service in the
industry. Even though the company has grown a lot during the last quar-
ter century, these family-based ethics still guide the company in every-
thing they do.
Since the first Select-A-Tenna, the C. Crane Company has become one
of the premier electronics companies in the nation. Exclusive items such
as the CCRadio, the best radio for long range AM reception, and the
Freeplay Plus Wind-up radio, continue to fulfill customer needs with top
quality items found nowhere else. The C. Crane Catalog, published only
three times a year, has expanded to include over three hundred high
quality, unique, and outstanding items. Customers can be assured that
the items included in the C. Crane Catalog are truly the best of the
breed. Even today, all of C. Crane’s products must pass exhaustive
testing in the quality control lab, at home, at work, and in people’s lives
before they are included in the C. Crane Catalog.
