BATTERIES
IMPORTANT: Be sure to remove the batteries when storing the set
for more than a few weeks at a time. Leaky batteries can badly
damage the recorder. Always push STOP/EJECT button before stor
ing. This will relieve pressure on certain parts in the recorder that
might deform after long periods of time.
NOTE: If the recorder develops problems reading or loading data,
or if the tape reels turn very slowly or not at all, check with a new set
of batteries use AC power or try another cassette before seeking
service.
AC POWER CONVERTER —
No. 5-107S
You can extend the life of the batteries substantially by using them
only when portable operation is required. Any tim e AC household
electrical power is available, you can use the AC Power Converter to
operate your recorder instead of using batteries. The batteries may
remain in the recorder when using the AC Power Converter.
The AC Power Converter plugs into the 6V DC PWR JACK on the
recorder (which automatically disconnects the batteries), and plugs
into 120-volt AC household power.
