Installing batteries
1. Remove the screws from these two
locations.
2. Remove the battery compartment
cover.
3. Insert batteries, taking care to
observe the correct polarity.
* We recommend that you keep batteries
installed in the unit even though you’ll be powering it with the
AC adaptor. That way, you’ll be able to continue a performance
even if the cord of the AC adaptor gets accidentally
disconnected from the unit.
* To prevent malfunction and speaker damage, make sure to
switch o the KC-220’s power before you insert or replace its
batteries, and before connecting it to other devices.
* If you handle batteries improperly, you risk explosion and
uid leakage. Make sure that you carefully observe all of the
items related to batteries that are listed in “USING THE UNIT
SAFELY” and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (leaet “USING THE UNIT
SAFELY” and Owner’s manual (p. 7)).
Removing the battery case
Although it is possible to replace the
batteries without removing the battery case,
battery replacement will be easier if you
remove the battery case.
1. Remove the screws from these
two locations.
2. Remove the battery case.
* Take care that no metal object touches the contacts of the
battery case. This can short-circuit the batteries, causing the
case to overheat or burn.
11
DC IN jack
Connect the included AC adaptor.
* Use only the AC adaptor that was included with
the unit.
* To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power
to your unit (should the plug be pulled out
accidentally), and to avoid applying undue
stress to the jack, anchor the power cord using
the cord hook, as shown in the illustration.
