power is available, the MPC500 will use AC power to preserve battery life. Battery life can be monitored by pressing the [STATUS]

*** CAUTION! ***
This screw is a knob, which should move easily. It does not tighten like a standard screw. If the screw stops turning, DO NOT
tighten it beyond this point. This could result in damage, which will require factory service.
3. Ram Expansion Slot:
This is where the optional EXM128 RAM expansion can be added. This will increase overall sample time to over 24 minutes of
recording time (mono).
