Tips

This tape-corder is not equipped with a power switch. As a result, the LCD display will always be turned on as long as the batteries are inserted. However, power consumption is minimal and negligible.

Especialy when the tape-corder is in the low-power consumption mode, all indicators do not disappear in the display immediately after removing the battery holder from the tape-corder. Cancel the low-power consumption mode before removing the battery holder. If the batteries are replaced before all indicators disappear in the display, the remaing battery power may not be displayed correctly.

The clock will return to its default setting (SU/ 95Y1M1D/ AM12H00M00S) if the batteries are removed from the tape-corder for one hour or more. In this case, set the clock again.

Note

Remove the batteries when the tape-corder is not to be used for an extended period of time.

2 Replace the batteries with new ones in the battery holder. (See page 4.)

3 Make sure that all indicators disappear in the display.
