Note:
•
When the low battery icon (
) appears, replace the batteries.
Finish within one minute to retain the date and time settings.
•
The DC power adapter must supply 6V DC and deliver at least
600mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must
fi t the
DC 6V
jack. Using a DC adapter that does not meet
these specifi cations could damage the recorder or adapter.
Battery Notes:
•
Dispose of batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or
bury them.
•
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.
•
Do not mix old and new batteries, different types
of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or
rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
•
If you do not plan to use the recorder for a long period,
remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can
damage electronic parts.
