4–Preparation for Use

Using both types of batteries together

If you install both the lithium ion battery and

AAbatteries, you can set one as the main power source and the other as the backup. (See “Setting the main battery source (MAIN)” on page 44.) By doing this, when the amount of power left in the main source becomes insufficient for operation, the unit automatically switches to the backup source, allowing continued operation. Moreover, you can change the backup while operating using the main power source. This allows you to continue to use the unit for long periods of time. (See “Changing batteries when the power is on” on page 45.)

Using an AC adapter (sold separately)

Connect to the PS-P520 AC adapter (sold separately) to the DC IN 5V connector as shown in the illustration.

NOTE

The AC adapter provides power when connected even if batteries are installed. If installed, the lithium ion battery can also be recharged while the unit is used.

CAUTION

Never use any adapter other than the designated PS-P520 AC adapter. Use of a different adapter could cause malfunction, fire or electric shock.

Preparing the remote control

Installing the battery
1 Remove the battery holder.

2Install the coin-shaped lithium ion battery (CR2025) into the holder with the correct +/- orientation.

3Reinsert the battery holder into the remote control.
When to change the battery

Replace the battery with a new one when the range of the remote control becomes short or if the function keys become unresponsive.

Use a coin-shaped lithium ion battery (CR2025).

Cautions about the use of the battery

Accidental swallowing of batteries by small children is extremely dangerous. Keep batteries and remote controls out of reach of small children. Consult a physician immediately if a child should swallow a battery.

Misuse of a battery could cause it to leak, rupture or otherwise be damaged. Please read and abide by the following precautions when using batteries. (Also see “Cautions about rechargeable batteries” on page 4.)

•• Install the battery with the correct orientation.

•• Do not recharge the battery.

•• Do not heat or disassemble the battery or put it into fire or water.

•• Do not carry or store the battery with small metal objects. Doing so could short the battery and cause leakage or rupture, for example.

•• When storing or disposing of the battery, cover the contacts with tape to prevent them from touching other batteries or metal objects.

•• Follow the disposal instructions written on the battery or provided by the local government when you are done using it.
