CONNECTING POWER

For portable use, you can power your Concertmate 690 using internal batter- ies. Using optional adapters, you can also power it from a standard AC outlet or your vehicle’s cigarette lighter sock- et.

2.Press the tab on the battery com- partment cover in the direction of the arrow, then pull up to remove the cover.

Notes:

•Connecting an AC or DC adapter automatically disconnects internal batteries.

•Always disconnect an AC or DC adapter when you finish using the Concertmate 690.

Using Batteries

Your Concertmate 690 can use six AA batteries for power. For the best per- formance, we recommend alkaline batteries, such as RadioShack Cat. No. 23-552.

Cautions:

•Use only fresh batteries of the re- quired size and recommended type.

•Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries (stan- dard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable batteries of differ- ent capacities.

1.Set MODE to POWER OFF.

3.Put the batteries into the compart- ment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked beside the compartment.

4.Replace the cover.

Notes:

•If you do not plan to use the Concertmate 690 with batteries for a week or more, remove the batteries.

•If the Concertmate 690 sounds weak or does not work properly, replace all six batteries. Do not mix old and new batteries.

Caution: Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.

Cautions:

•Always remove old or weak bat- teries; batteries can leak chemi- cals that can destroy electronic parts.

•Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly.
