AC Power and Battery Tips

•  When the AC adapter is connected while batteries 

are inserted, AC power will have priority over the 
battery power supply.

•  It can be helpful to use batteries and the AC power 

supply together. If the AC power supply is removed 
unexpectedly, recording or playback will continue 
without interruption using battery power.

•  Do not mix new and old batteries or battery types 

(Alkaline, Ni-Cad or Ni-MH).

•  When the unit is not in use for a long period of time, 

please remove batteries to prevent battery leakage.
