2Install the unit to the multi cradle.

3Connect the AC adaptor to the multi

cradle. Recharging begins.

“CHARGE” appears on the display while recharging.

“CHARGE” disappears when the battery is fully charged. It takes approximately 3.5 hours to recharge the supplied battery.

When recharging is over

Disconnect the AC adaptor from the [DC IN 4.5 V K] terminal and the AC outlet.

Note

Use only the supplied AC adaptor. Use of other adaptors can damage the unit.

To remove the main unit from the multi cradle

Press [<, EJECT].

Be sure there is a rechargeable battery in the unit when you use the unit installed on the multi cradle. The unit will not run off the AC mains without a battery. If you install the unit on the multi cradle without inserting the battery, “NO BATTERY” will be displayed.

Play time

Normal stereo mode : Approx. 25 hours

LP2 stereo mode : Approx. 33 hours

LP4 stereo mode : Approx. 40 hours

Recording time

Normal stereo mode : Approx. 13 hours

LP2 stereo mode : Approx. 17 hours

LP4 stereo mode : Approx. 21 hours Duration may be reduced under some

conditions.

If the unit is to be used for long periods, such as during recording, use the AC adaptor to power it.

Rechargeable number of times

The battery can be recharged approx. 300 times. The battery has reached the end of its lifetime once play time is dramatically reduced even after full recharging.

Replacement

Nickel-metal hydride rechargeable battery (HHF-1PSC/1B, HHF-AZ01S/1B).

Note

 

 

If the unit is not to be used for a long time

 

disconnect the AC adaptor from the AC

 

outlet and turn the unit off to save power.

 

If using the unit while it is installed on the

 

multi cradle, ensure that it is aligned

 

correctly, and that it is not forced into

 

position or subjected to violent treatment.

 

The unit cannot recharge batteries other

 

than the one supplied or recommended

 

replacements.

 

It is not necessary to completely discharge

 

Panasonic’s nickel-metal hydride rechargeable

 

batteries before recharging them.

 

The unit can only be recharged while it is off.

 

If “CHARGE” does not appear, disconnect the

 

AC adaptor from [DC IN 4.5 V K] , then

 

reconnect it.

 

The AC adaptor and battery may become

 

warm during recharging but this is normal.

 

When using for the first time in a long time

Instructions

you may find that the batteries do not

 

recharge to the original level. If you repeat

 

the charging/depleting process the batteries

 

will return to normal.

 

Dry cell battery (not included)

 

Use one LR6 alkaline battery. Use long -life

 

Panasonic alkaline batteries.

Operating

1 Put the battery into the battery case.

 

2 Attach the case to the unit.

 

For longer use

 

Use the two types of batteries at the same time.

 

The battery indicator

 

The indicator flashes when the battery is

 

 

almost flat. Recharge or replace the battery.

 

 

 

Note

 

 

The unit may make some noise when the AC

 

adaptor is connected to the multi cradle with

 

the unit installed or when batteries are first

 

installed. This is normal.

 

When recording, we recommend that you

 

place the unit WITH BATTERY INSERTED

 

on the multi cradle and connect the AC

 

mains.

 

Always use rechargeable batteries in

 

combination with normal dry cell batteries to

RQT6558

avoid fast depletion of the dry cell batteries

 

and to safeguard against loss of power

 

partway through recording.
