Using the AC adaptor
Your recorder is supplied with a Mains Adaptor.
1. Place your recorder on a flat surface.
2. Insert the adaptor plug into the AC socket located on the right hand
end of your recorder.
3. Plug the adaptor into a mains socket outlet. Whenever the adaptor
is used, the batteries are automatically disconnected.
The AC adaptor should be disconnected from the mains supply and
the recorder when not in use.
IMPORTANT:
The mains adaptor is used as the means of connecting the recorder to
the mains supply. The mains socket used for the recorder must remain
accessible during normal use. In order to disconnect the recorder from
the mains completely, the mains adaptor should be removed from the
mains socket outlet completely.
Charging the batteries
Reduced power, distortion and a “stuttering sound” or low battery sign
“ ” flashing on the display are all the signs that the batteries need
to be recharged if you use rechargeable batteries to power the recorder.
Note:
The batteries can be charged only when the recorder is off. Be sure the
battery type switch is set to NiMH/NiCad position. Charge new batteries
fully the first time before first use. This can take longer depending on the
capacity of the rechargeable batteries.
Do not use a mix of old and new rechargeable batteries.
Do not use a mix of full and empty rechargeable batteries.
Do not use batteries that have a different mAh capacity.
Do not use damaged or leaking batteries.
