Checking the tape for slack
Using a paper clip or a similar object, turn the reel
gently in the direction shown by the arrow. If the reel
does not move, there is no slack.
Connect the power cord (supplied) to the AC Adaptor
(supplied) and the DC plug of the AC Adaptor to DC IN
jack on the unit. Then, connect the power plug to the
wall outlet. When you disconnect the power code from
the wall outlet, be sure to unplug the power plug from
the wall outlet first.
