Getting ready to use the R-4 Pro

Using external power sources

When using an external power supply, be sure to set the final voltage.

The final voltage refers to the voltage when voltage can no longer be supplied because the capacity of the

external power source is reduced and voltage decreases as electricity is consumed.

If the final voltage is not properly set for the external power source, the remaining power display is not

shown. See the user's manual for the external power source for the final voltage value.

Furthermore, when the “Battery Low” message is displayed, the recording automatically stops, but the

power does not automatically turn off. Turn the R-4 Pro power off and change the external power source.

* If the final voltage is not set, the “Battery Low” message is not displayed and the power may cut off. Read the

following to set the final voltage for the R-4 Pro.
