Power Supply Preparations

Using rechargeable batteries (not supplied)

Be sure to recharge the rechargeable batteries (BN-R1211J for the U.S.A. and Canada, BN-R1211 for other area) before using them. When you want to purchase the rechargeable batteries, see page 4.

Recharging procedure

1Insert the rechargeable batteries.

Caution:

Do not forcibly open the battery lid too wide.

2Connect the AC adaptor (supplied for the U.S.A. only).

AC power outlet

AC adaptor

Recharging will be completed after 10 hours.

3When recharging is complete, unplug the AC adaptor from the AC power outlet and the DC IN jack.

Notes:

•Rechargeable batteries have a service life of approximately 300 charge-discharge cycles. If the operating time on one full charge becomes noticeably shorter than it used to be, the batteries have reached the end of their service life and should be replaced.

•You can recharge the batteries only when the unit is turned off.

•The AC adaptor and rechargeable batteries may become warm while recharging is in progress. This is normal and is not a malfunction.

•(Except the U.S.A.) When you want to purchase the AC adap- tor, see page 4.

Using the AC adaptor (supplied for the U.S.A. only)

Connect the AC adaptor.

Refer to “Using rechargeable batteries” for connection instruc- tions.

Notes:

•Even if the unit is turned off, small power is consumed as long as the AC adaptor is connected to the AC power outlet.

•(Except the U.S.A.) When you want to purchase the AC adap- tor, see page 4.

Using dry-cell batteries (not supplied)

After disconnecting the AC adaptor, insert two “AA” (LR6) alka- line batteries.

The procedure for inserting and removing dry-cell batteries is identical to that for rechargeable bat- teries.

Battery indicator

This indicator flashes on and off when the batteries are almost out of power. Power will be cut off a short while later.

Tip:

Turning off the Anti-Shock Protection will save the battery power more or less. For details, see “Anti-shock Protection” on page 6.

AC adaptor (for multi voltage area only) (not supplied)

Before use

Make sure the present voltage of your AC adaptor fits to your lo- cal voltage before plugging it into the AC power outlet. If it doesn’t, shift the AC line-voltage selector with a screwdriver so that it corresponds to your local voltage.

VOLTAGE
ADJUSTOR
AC 110V	AC 220V
~127V	~240V

If the power plug will not fit your socket, use the AC plug adaptor.

How to use the AC plug adaptor (not supplied)

Note:

When you want to purchase the AC adaptor and the AC plug adaptor, see page 4.
