Jukebox Recorder is equipped with 4 x AA NiMH Rechargeable batteries. The batteries are
required to be changed only when they can no longer hold charge. Use ONLY ARCHOS AA
NiMH rechargeable batteries. To remove the batteries covers, locate the small holes, one on
each side, on the inner top middle of the batteries covers (see picture below). Use a small flat
screwdriver or the like and gently, slowly push the battery covers out sideway just far enough to
lift up the battery covers by the top end of the cover.

Battery Covers

Since the batteries are tightly fit in the compartments, remove the bottom battery first while gently
holding down the blue cushion rubber to keep it from falling out of place.
Reverse the procedure to replace the batteries. Make sure new batteries polarities
(+ and -) are aligned correctly with the + and - markings as printed behind the batteries covers.
Repeat the procedure for the other side.

Important

: Failing to insert the batteries correct could damage the Jukebox Recorder.

Attention :

After replacing batteries, you have to reprogram the settings of the user’s
parameters as Time, Volume, bass…

Note :

It’s the same if you don’t use the Jukebox during a very long time and batteries get too
low.
