■ WHEN USING WITH ALKALINE DRY-CELL BATTERIES
The camera/recorder can be powered by six alkaline dry-cell batteries inserted into the power supply
attachment section. The continuous operation time of the camera/recorder depends on the type of alka¬
line batteries used.
1. Lift the OPEN lever and pull it up. The power
supply attachment cover will open.
3. Insert six alkaline batteries with the correct
polarities.
4. After installing the batteries, close the cover.
Hold the OPEN lever and align the tabs on
both sides of the cover with the end of the
attachment section.
NOTES:
• Use only "lEC R6" alkaline batteries marked
‘ ■ LR6" (Manganese batteries cannot be used to
power the camera/recorder.)
• It is recommended that you use alkaline bat¬
teries within the recommended period of use
or within two years of the date of manufac¬
ture.
• Be careful of the following to prevent the leak¬
age of liquid or an explosion.
• Check that the orientation (polarity) of the
batteries is correct.
• Remove the batteries when not using the
camera/recorder.
• Remove the used batteries from the cam¬
era/recorder.
• Do not use batteries made by different man¬
ufacturers at the same time.
• Do not use old and new batteries at the
same time.
• If the liquid leaks, remove the batteries imme¬
diately and ask your nearest dealer to inspect
the camera/recorder (this will be at your own
expense).
• Do not let the batteries or the terminals of the
camera/recorder get dirty. If they are dirty, use
a dry cloth to wipe off the dirt completely.
• It is recommended that you use a battery pack
to power the camera/recorder when using a
DC camera light. If a camera light is used when
the camera/recorder is powered by batteries,
the required supply voltage will be very short
and the camera/recorder will turn off soon.
• When the batteries are used to power the cam¬
era/recorder in a cold place, it may not operate
normally; the operation time may become
extremely short or the camera/recorder may
not be turned on. It is recommended that you
use a battery pack to power the camera/
recorder in a cold place. (At 10°C, the chemi¬
cal reaction decreases the capacity of battery
to one tenth when compared to that at normal
temperature 20°C.)
• Since the supply voltage from batteries
decreases more abruptly when compared to
that from a battery pack, the battery remaining
level indicator («) may not flash in the
viewfinder, noise may occur, the picture and
sound may not be recorded normally and/or
the power may be turned off soon. These phe¬
nomena occur because the capacity of batter¬
ies becomes low. So turn the power switch off
and replace the batteries. If the power switch
is left turned on in this state, the power may
turn on temporarily and turn off again repeat¬
edly.
