Notes: |
●When making important recordings, it is recommended that you use the AC adaptor. A fully charged rechargeable battery should be loaded into the unit. Then, even if a power failure occurs, the power source will switch over to the rechargeable battery automatically.
●When using the rechargeable battery or the alkaline batteries, if the head- phones volume level is set to “0", the
battery consumption will be less than when listening to the recording while it is being made.
●Insert each plug firmly. If the connec- tions are poor, the recording may not be made properly. Always keep the plugs clean. If the plugs are dirty, electrical noise may be recorded.
