Besides using an AC adapter, the RFX-300 can also be
powered from six IEC R6 (size AA) alkaline batteries.
When the unit is running on battery power, the POWER
indicator on the top panel begins to flash when the batteries

are nearing depletion.
In such a case, replace
the batteries as soon
as possible.
