Precautions before using
• Do not supply the voltage that does not match the
voltage requirement of the unit.
• If you operate the unit on battery power, use alkaline
or nickel hydride batteries.

adaptor.
If you use any other AC adaptor, the unit may not
work correctly and there is a serious risk of damage
to the unit.
• If you wish to use the unit in a country where the
voltage of the AC power outlet does not match your
AC adaptor, ask your local Fostex dealer or service
station for purchasing an appropriate AC adaptor.
Note that the AC adaptor can be used both in 50 Hz
and 60 Hz areas.
• Do not let water or other liquid, or metal objects such
as pins, accidentally enter the inside of the unit.
Should water enter the inside of the unit, turn off the
power, unplug the AC adaptor and remove batteries,
and consult your dealer or the nearest FOSTEX
service station.
