About Batteries
If you’re operating the JUNO-Gi on batteries, you’ll need
eight rechargeable Ni-MH batteries (AA, HR6). The battery
life will depend on the speci cations of the battery and
on the conditions of use, but for continuous use, will be
approximately 3 hours (approximately 2 hours if USB
memory is connected).
About rechargeable batteries
When using rechargeable batteries, the battery lifespan
will normally become shorter with each recharge cycle.
If the batteries run down soon after being recharged, it’s
time to replace them.

Installing Batteries

1. Switch.o. .the.JUNO-Gi’s.power.(p..16).
2. Remove.the.cover.of.the.battery.compartment.located.on.

While pressing the tabs of the cover, lift the cover up and remove it.
3. Insert.the.batteries.into.the.battery.compartment.
Make sure to observe the correct polarity (+/– orientation) for each
battery when inserting it.
4. Replace.the.battery.compartment.cover.

When to Replace the Batteries (BATTERY

Indicator)

The BATTERY indicator shows the state of the
batteries.
Indication Explanation
Unlit Batteries are not installed.
Green Operating on batteries, with su cient battery power
remaining.
Red Batteries have run low. We recommend that you replace the
batteries.
Blinking.red
Batteries are nearly depleted. Stop use, and recharge the
batteries. If you continue using the JUNO-Gi when the
indicator is blinking red, the indication “Battery Low!” will
appear, and further operation will not be possible.
* The.remaining.battery.indication.is.an.approximation.
MEMO
• In order to reduce battery consumption, you can turn o the
display backlight when it’s not required. Refer to “Turning the
Display Backlight On/O ” (p. 17).
• The System setting “Power Save Mode” (p. 80) lets you choose to turn
o the backlight when no operation has been performed for a
certain length of time. (With the factory settings, the backlight will
dim after  ve minutes.)
• The System setting “Auto Power O ” (p. 80) lets you choose to turn o
the power automatically when no operation has been performed
for a certain length of time. (With the factory settings, the power
will turn o after 240 minutes.)

Removing Batteries

To remove the batteries, switch o the JUNO -Gi’s power, remove the
battery case cover, and remove the batteries as described in “Installing
Batteries.”

Note the following when using batteries

• Do not use alk aline batteries or carbon-zinc batteries.
• The use of an AC adaptor is recommended as the unit’s power consumption is relatively high. Should you prefer to use batteries, please use the
rechargeable Ni-MH type.
• When installing or replacing batteries, always turn o the power on this unit and disconnect any other devices you may have connected. This way,
you can prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other devices.
• We recommend that you keep batteries installed in the unit even though you’ll be powering it with the AC adaptor. That way, you’ll be able to
continue a performance even if the cord of the AC adaptor gets accidently disconnected from the unit.
• Do not allow any objects (e.g.,  ammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.
• I f used improperly, batteries may explode or leak and cause damage or injury. In the interest of safety, please read and observe the following
precautions.
• Carefully follow the installation instructions for batteries, and make sure you observe the correct polarity.
• Avoid using new batteries together with used ones. In addition, avoid mixing di erent types of batteries.
• Remove the batteries whenever the unit is to remain unused for an extended period of time.
• If a battery has leaked, use a soft piece of cloth or paper towel to wipe all remnants of the discharge from the battery compartment. Then
install new batteries. To avoid in ammation of the skin, make sure that none of the battery discharge gets onto your hands or skin. Exercise
the utmost caution so that none of the discharge gets near your eyes. Immediately rinse the a ected area with running water if any of the
discharge has entered the eyes.
• Never keep batteries together with metallic objects such as ballpoint pens, necklaces, hairpins, etc.
