Preparation
To protect the recorder during shipment, a
piece of paper is attached to the cassette
door. Remove this paper before you use
the recorder.
CONNECTING POWER
You can power your recorder from internal
battery power, AC power (with an optional
AC adapter), or your vehicle’s battery
(with an optional DC adapter).
Using Batteries
Your recorder requires two AA batteries
(not supplied) for power. For the best performance and longest life, we recommend
RadioShack alkaline batteries.
Cautions:
• Use only fresh batteries of the
required size and recommended
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 several days, or if you plan to use
only AC or vehicle battery power,
remove the batteries. Batteries can
leak chemicals that can destroy electronic parts.
1. Slide the battery compartment cover
in the direction of the arrow until it
stops, then lift up the cover.
Caution:
The battery compartment
cover is attached to the recorder. Do
not try to remove it.
2. Place the batteries in the compartment as indicated by the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside.
3. Replace the cover.
Warning:
Dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly. Do not burn or
bury them.
Using AC or DC Power
To power the recorder from an AC outlet
or your vehicle’s battery power, you need
an AC or DC adapter and an Adaptaplug
