AC Adapter Connection
Connect the power output plug of the adapter to the DC
IN jack of the recorder. Connect the AC Power cord to
the household AC power receptacle.
AC Adapter Safety

Using Batteries
The recorder is designed for use with 8 “AA” size

you must use an external battery charger (see battery
charger manufacturer instructions for operation and safe
use).
The battery capacity monitoring is different for alkaline
batteries and Ni-Cad/Ni-MH batteries. Please select
the correct battery type you are using from the
System

To operate the recorder with battery power, install
batteries into the recorder as follows:
1. Remove the battery cover from the rear side of the

2. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment,
making sure to align the positive ( + ) and negative
( - ) end of each battery according to the polarity
diagram shown inside the compartment.
3. Re-attach the battery cover to the rear side of the
recorder.
