No wall adapter is included as shown in the photo.

Photo shows a wall adapter to 'charge' the recorder although it is not actually supplied. You can use any rechargeable AA batteries, but the charger is not included. This is a misunderstanding, but the product arrived on time.

Pros
  • Cue, Review and Pause controls; Recording/Battery & Leveling LED Indicator
Cons
  • Large and Bulky

Looks cheap though.

Just received RN-505 from Revain 4 days later (great service). The cassette mic is well built, and the nickel-cadmium batteries and AC adapter are good accessories. The device fits my palm very well for its size. Easily accessible controls but difficult to read as EVERYTHING including the letters is painted silver. And that's if I rate it a three (3). The silver lacquered plastic case gives this excellent recorder an ECONOMIC look. It's like a $20 microcassette. But in this case, appearances…

Pros
  • 2 Speed Ribbon Selector
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Great performance, confusing controls and instructions

This recorder is very small and very delicate. Having no experience with new recorders, this came as a surprise. The image does not match its thumbnail size. It measures 7/8" wide, 2-5/8" wide (including the top of the knobs) and 4-5/8" tall. This will easily fit in a shirt pocket with plenty of room for extra pens. Appearance This recorder It is made out of plastic and not metal as the silver color would suggest.With prolonged use the silver color may wear off but I haven't had mine long…

Pros
  • Comes with 2 rechargeable batteries, charger and power adapter
Cons
  • fades out
