Cautions:
● When using the rechargeable battery
and the alkaline batteries at the same
time, do not remove either of them. If
you do, while the unit is in the play
mode, playback will stop. When in the
recording mode, the recorded contents
will be erased, and the power may be
disconnected.
● Do not replace the batteries or the
rechargeable battery during operation.
● Do not use rechargeable batteries
(nickel-cadmium battery etc.) in the
battery case.
● If the unit will not be used for a long
period of time, remove the batteries.
(Even if the power is turned off, the
batteries will drain slowly but con-
tinuously.)
● Be sure to hold the plug when removing
it. If you pull on the cord, it may break,
or the unit may malfunction.
● Do not use any car adaptor except for
the optionally available AD-CA20X.
● For information about battery life, see
the battery section in the SPECIFICA-
TIONS on page 40.
● This unit should only be used within the
range of 32˚F (0˚C) and 104˚F (40°C).
■ Alkaline battery power
Use of the optionally available alkaline bat-
tery case combined with the rechargeable
battery will result in extended playback
times.
● Use two, commercially available
alkaline batteries (LR6, “AA” size).
1 Insert the batteries into the battery
case.
(1)Open the case cover.
(2) Insert the batteries according to the
polarity marked on the inside of the
battery case. Then, close the case
cover.
2 Attach the battery case to the main unit.
(1)Match the convex part of the battery
case to the concave area in the
main unit.
(2)Turn the screw in the direction
marked “LOCK” to secure the bat-
tery case.
■ AC power
1 Connect the cord from the AC adaptor
to the DC IN 5V jack on the main unit.
2 Plug the AC adaptor into an AC outlet.
Notes:
● If there is an electrical storm in your
vicinity, unplug the AC adaptor from the
AC outlet.
● When the unit is not in use for extended
periods, remove the AC adaptor from
the AC outlet.
● Never use an AC adaptor other than
the one specified. Otherwise, malfunc-
tions or serious safety hazards may
result.
● Do not bend, twist or tie the power cord
or put heavy objects on top of it.
