Installing the Batteries
As an alternative to using the AC adaptor, you can use commercially
available AA-size rechargeable Ni-MH batteries.
* When an AC adaptor is used, the unit is powered by the AC adaptor even
if batteries are installed.
* When turning the unit over, be careful so as to protect the buttons from
damage. Also, handle the unit carefully; do not drop it.

Remaining battery indication
When the remaining battery power runs low, a battery low icon
( ) appears in the upper right of the display. When this appears,
install fresh batteries as soon as possible.
If you continue to use the instrument in this state, the
“Battery Low!”
message appears, and finally the TAIKO-1 stops functioning entirely.
Turning the Power On/Off
* Before turning the unit on/off, always be sure to turn down the volume
on all connected devices. Even with the volume turned down, you might
hear some sound when switching the instrument on/off. This is normal
