3 – Preparation

Powering the unit

Power sources

The DR-22WL operates on two AA batteries, the dedicated AC adapter (TASCAM PS-P515U; sold separately), or the supplied USB cable (USB bus power).
Use either alkaline batteries or Ni-MH batteries.

Using AA size batteries

Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the unit, insert two AA batteries with the ¥ and ^ ends in the right position, and close the cover.
NOTE
When both batteries and the AC adapter are attached to the unit, power will be supplied from the AC adapter.
CAUTION
•
Use only the dedicated AC adapter (TASCAM PS- P515U; sold separately). The use of another adapter may cause malfunction, fire or electric shock.
•
Noise may occur during microphone recording when the unit and AC adapter are in close proximity. If noise occurs, move the AC adapter away from the unit.

Using USB bus power

Use the supplied USB cable to connect the unit and the computer as illustrated below.
Computer
USB
Connect the supplied USB cable
micro-B USB plug
Select the same type of batteries to get an accurate reading of the remaining battery power and required minimum power for operation. (See “Battery type settings” on page 39.)
CAUTION
•
Do not use Manganese dry cell batteries.
•
Ni-MH batteries will not be recharged with this unit; use a separate battery recharger instead.
•
The supplied alkaline batteries are for testing and may not last long.

Using an AC adapter (sold separately)

Adjusting the playback volume

Use the OUTPUT LEVEL (+/−) buttons on the left side of the unit to adjust the volume of output through the built-in speaker and /LINE OUT connector.
When doing this, a volume position pop-up appears at the bottom of the display.
This warning appears when the volume is set above a level recommended by the European Union (EU) to avoid hearing damage (EU volume limit regulation).
Reconnecting headphones will reset the volume to its default value.
NOTE
You can continue to adjust the volume even after the pop-up message appears.
When you raise or lower the volume again, the pop-up message will disappear.
CAUTION
Listening at high volumes could cause hearing damage. If the surroundings are noisy, the sound of playback might seem quieter than it actually is.
Start playback of the audio and check the volume before putting on headphones, for example.
When increasing the volume, this pop-up message might appear: INCREASE YOUR RISK OF HEARING
DAMAGE.
