Battery display
At the top right of every screen is a button that opens the
power screen.
Touch this button to open the
BATTERY
management screen.
STATUS
This shows the currently active power source.
AC/DC EXT/BATT
The indicator for the currently active power source appears
green.
The current voltage for each power source is shown beneath
its
HEALTH
label.
The type of battery currently installed in the unit is shown
beneath the
BATT
label.
NONE
: No internal battery is installed
NP
: Shown when an NP type battery is installed
PACK
: Shown when a battery case (BC-10AA) is
installed
The following settings can be made for the
DC EXT
and
BATT
items.
MINIMUM
•
: Set the minimum battery voltage between 9.0
V and 13.0 V in 0.5 V steps (default value: 10.5V)
NOMINAL
•
: Set the usual voltage to 12.0 V (default value),
13.2 V, 14.4 V, 14.8 V or 15.0 V
The recommended values depending on the type of battery
are as follows.

The minimum and nominal voltages in the above tables are
typical values of commercially available batteries. Please
set them according to the battery manual.
CAUTION
If the minimum voltage is too low, there is a danger of
damaging rechargeable batteries through excessive discharge.
NOTE
A great amount of power is required to provide phantom
power to a condenser microphone. If you use a condenser
microphone while running the unit on AA batteries (NiMH
rechargeable or alkaline), the operation time will be greatly
shortened because of their low capacities. If you need to
operate the unit for a long time, use the AC adaptor or a
battery with great capacity.
Touch the area of the value that you want to change. When
the background color changes, use the
DATA
dial to set the
value.
ICON TYPE (Battery status display):
You can set the battery status display icon type by touching
the
BARS
(

) or
VOLTS
(
/
) button. The
default value is
BARS
.
