n Note:
• When the low battery icon ( ) appears, replace the batteries. 
Finish within one minute to retain the date and time settings.
• The DC power adapter must supply 6V DC and deliver at least 
600mA. Its center tip must be set to positive and its plug must 
fi t the DC 6V jack. Using a DC adapter that does not meet 
these specifi cations could damage the recorder or adapter.
Battery Notes:
• Dispose of batteries promptly and properly. Do not burn or 
bury them.
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types 
of batteries (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or 
rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
• If you do not plan to use the recorder for a long period, 
remove the batteries. Batteries can leak chemicals that can 
damage electronic parts.
