Olympus Micro-Cassette Quick Start

A problem solved
The heart of the IMS “Touch/Pause” System is the Olympus S725 micro cassette recorder. This rugged micro cassette voice recorder was tested and proven to deliver optimum audio quality and volume with the IMS prompting system. The IMS Touch-pause button was designed to give Performers more control over their equipment and performance.

My recorder doesn’t work…
Once you’ve plugged in your Touch-pause button, it over rides the recorder. If the recorder is not working, put the machine in “play” mode and then tap the remote button. “It works!” Then we suggest you unplug the remote pause button and try the machine once again. It should works. The Olympus won’t budge without you giving it the OK by tapping the remote. At this point, just record the copy as you would with any tape recorder. You may find it easier to unplug the remote pause button first, just to avoid confusion ‘til you’re used to it.

Now, record the copy
Record a few paragraphs of copy, starting with a countdown to let the recorder adjust to the volume of your voice. Rewind. Plug your listening source into the “earphone out” jack, turn the volume “off” and begin playback. Gradually increase the volume until you’re comfortable. ALWAYS remove the earpiece when recording to protect your hearing.

Hide your secret
Some performers run the cord down their arm, securing it with rubber bands, and tuck the pause button under their ring. Others conceal it in the palm of their hand where a “shrug” makes it disappear up the sleeve and a gesture brings it back again. You might choose to double-face tape it to the hem of your jacket where your hand hangs naturally, in the perfect position to tap the button when a pause is called for.

We’ve got you covered!
Your “Touch/Pause” remote control pause system is automatically covered for one full year against defects in workmanship or materials under normal use. Olympus covers the micro cassette recorder. Remember to keep your receipt and Olympus recorder box and warranty in case of repair. IMS only warrants the Touch-pause button. For more information on use, trouble-shooting and advanced performance tips, refer to the IMS Instructional Video. Enjoy years of successful performances with your INSTANT MEMORY
