Using the AC adaptor

Your recorder is supplied with a Mains Adaptor.

1. Place your recorder on a flat surface.

. Insert the adaptor plug into the AC socket located on the right hand
    side of the rear panel.

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.

2) Noise may occur when recording with a microphone if the unit is too 

    close to the AC adaptor. In such a case, keep sufficient distance 
    between the AC adaptor and the unit.

3) When both batteries are installed and the AC adaptor is connected, 
    power will be supplied from the AC adaptor.

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.
