PREPARATIONS
POWER SUPPLY
USING ON AC HOUSE CURRENT
Connect the AC cord as illustrated below.
1to the AC inlet of the unit
| 2 to an AC outlet |
AC cord (supplied) | (AC 120 V, 60 Hz) |
The OPE/BATT indicator lights up while the power is on.
CAUTION
Use only the supplied AC cord. Use with other cords may result in the risk of fire.
USING ON BATTERIES
Open the lid of the battery compartment on the rear and insert eight R14 (size C) batteries, not supplied, as illustrated below. Then close the lid.
To switch from AC power supply to battery power supply, disconnect the AC cord from the AC inlet.
•When using the unit on the batteries, the display will not be illuminated.
The batteries need to be replaced when:
The OPE/BATT indicator becomes dim, the tape speed slows down, volume decreases, or sound is distorted during operation.
Notes on batteries
To avoid damage from leakage or explosion, observe the following:
•Insert the batteries with the 0and 9marks correctly aligned.
•Do not mix different types of batteries or old batteries with new ones.
•Never recharge the batteries, apply heat to them or take them apart.
•Remove dead batteries.
If liquid leaks from the batteries, wipe thoroughly to remove.
NOTE
If power is interrupted for more than 12 hours, all settings stored in memory, such as the clock, the timer, and the presetting of the broadcasting stations, are cleared and need to be set again.
REMOTE CONTROL
INSERTING BATTERIES
Detach the battery cover on the rear of the remote control and insert two R03 (size AAA) batteries.
When to replace the batteries
The maximum operational distance between the remote control and the remote sensor on the main unit should be approximately 5 meters (16 feet). When this distance decreases, replace the batteries with new ones.
USING THE REMOTE CONTROL
Some operations can be performed using the buttons on the remote control only, or those on the main unit only, while others can be performed using the buttons on the main unit as well as the remote control. This instructions manual clearly describes the buttons available for each operation.
To use the buttons
Point the remote control at the REMOTE SENSOR on the main unit to use the buttons on the remote control.
NOTE
•If the unit is not going to be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to prevent possible electrolyte leakage.
•The remote control may not operate correctly when:
–The line of sight between the remote control and the unit is exposed to intense light, such as direct sunlight
–Other remote controls are used nearby (television, etc.)
•The c button on the remote control has the same function as that of the d button on the main unit.
