Dear Customer:
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to
consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries
Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most
out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the
sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level”
adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can
actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by
setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or
loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun
and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic
Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you
avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels
is included for your protection.

BATTERY INSTALLATION
Open the battery compartment and insert
two (2) "AA" size batteries (not included) following the polarity diagram. Put the battery
compartment cover back into place.
NOTE: The REC/BATT indicator will brightly light during recording
when batteries are fresh. When they are weak, it will light dim.
Follow these precautions when using batteries in this device:
1. Use only the size and type of batteries specified.
2. Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries as
indicated in the battery compartment. Reversed batteries may cause
damage to the device.
3. Do not mix different types of batteries together (e.g. Alkaline and
Carbon-zinc) or old batteries with fresh ones.
4. If the device is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the bat
teries to prevent damage or injury from possible battery leakage.
5. Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be recharged; they
can overheat and rupture. (Follow battery manufacturer’s directions.)
AC OPERATION
To operate the unit using AC power, connect an AC adapter (not included) to an AC outlet having 120V, 60Hz AC only. Plug the small end into
the DC 3V jack on the unit and connect the other end into the AC outlet. The batteries are automatically disconnected when the AC adapter
is used.
CAUTION: When not using AC power, disconnect the AC adapter
from the wall outlet by pulling the plug (not the cord). Do not touch
the AC adapter with wet hands. Fully insert the plug without exposing any part of the blade.
