Please observe the following safety tips and precautions to ensure hazard-free use of the MRT-3.

The use of an adapter other than the specified type may damage the unit and pose a safety hazard.

•Connect the AC adapter only to an AC outlet that supplies the rated voltage required by the adapter.

•When disconnecting the AC adapter from the AC outlet, always grasp the adapter itself and do not pull at the cable.

•If the unit is not to be used for a long time, disconnect the AC adapter from the outlet.

Battery operation

•Use four IEC R6 (size AA) batteries (alkaline or manganese).

•The MRT-3 cannot be used for recharging.

Pay close attention to the labelling of the battery to make sure you choose the correct type.

•If the MRT-3 is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the battery from the unit.

•If batteries leakage has occurred, wipe the battery compartment and the battery terminals carefully to remove all remnants of battery fluid.

•While using the unit, the battery compartment cover should be closed.

About power

Warning Since power consumption of this unit is fairly high, we recommend the use of an AC adapter whenever possible. When powering the unit from the batteries, use only an alkaline type.

AC adapter operation

•Be sure to use only an AC adapter which supplies 9 V DC, 300 mA and is equipped with a "center minus" plug (Zoom AD-0006).

Environment

Caution Avoid using your MRT-3 in environments where it will be exposed to:

•Extreme temperature

•High humidity or moisture

•Excessive dust or sand

•Excessive vibration or shock
