Installing Batteries
Insert the included batteries (AA x 6) as shown in the diagram, being careful to observe the correct polarity.
WARNING
Handle batteries carefully
•
Batteries must never be recharged, heated, taken apart, or
thrown into fire or water.
•
Never expose batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire
or the like.
•
Incorrect handling of batteries can cause leakage, overheating,
fire, or explosion. Before use, you must read and strictly observe
all of the precautions that accompany the batteries.
•
If used improperly, batteries may explode or leak and cause
damage or injury. In the interest of safety, please read and
observe the following precautions.
•
Carefully follow the installation instructions for batteries, and
make sure you observe the correct polarity.
•
Avoid using new batteries together with used ones. In
addition, avoid mixing different types of batteries.
•
Remove the batteries whenever the unit is to remain unused
for an extended period of time.
•
Never keep batteries together with metallic objects such as
ballpoint pens, necklaces, hairpins, etc.
•
Used batteries must be disposed of in compliance with
whatever regulations for their safe disposal that may be
observed in the region in which you live.
Handle leaking batteries carefully
•
If fluid has leaked from a battery, make sure not to touch it with
your bare hands.
•
If any of the leaking fluid gets into your eyes, the loss of vision
may result. Do not rub your eyes; use clean water to flush them
thoroughly. Then, promptly see a doctor.
•
Burning of the skin or dermatitis may result if fluid has gotten
onto your skin or clothing. Use clean water to flush affected
areas thoroughly; then, promptly see a doctor.
•
Using a soft cloth, carefully wipe any remaining fluid from the
inside of the battery compartment. Then, install new batteries.
Notes Concerning Batteries
•
When operating on battery power only, the POWER indicator
will become dim when battery power gets too low. Replace the
battery as soon as possible.
•
The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the unit’s power
consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer to use
batteries, please use the alkaline type.
•
When installing or replacing batteries, always turn this unit off
and disconnect any other devices you may have connected. This
way, you can prevent malfunction and damage.
•
If operating this unit on batteries, please disconnect the AC
adaptor from this unit.
•
Even if batteries are installed, the unit will turn off if you
connect or disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet while
the unit is turned on, or if you connect or disconnect the AC
adaptor from the unit. When this occurs, unsaved data may
be lost. You must turn off the power before you connect or
disconnect the power cord or AC adaptor.
•
When turning the unit upside down, position stacks of
magazines (or other materials) under the unit in such a way that
they will support its four corners, thus preventing damage to
the buttons, knobs, etc.
Expected battery life under continuous use
•
Alkaline: 7 hours
Carbon: 2 hours
(These figures will vary depending on the specifications of the
batteries and the actual conditions of use.)
