Operation on household AC

AC IN Ó jack on the rear panel of the unit.

Cautions
• Use only the JVC power cord provided with this unit
to avoid malfunction or damage to the unit.
• Even when you turn off the unit by pressing the
STANDBY/ON
button, a very small current
continues to flow. To save power and for safety when
not using the unit for an extended period of time,
disconnect the power cord from the household AC
outlet.

POWER SUPPLY
Battery replacement
When the tape speed or output sound level decreases, or
CD playback becomes intermittent, replace all batteries
with fresh ones.
For better battery usage
•When making an important recording, use of new
batteries (preferably alkaline batteries with a longer
service life) is recommended to avoid any possible
failure.
• To prevent the power from being accidentally turned
on, remove the batteries when carrying the unit by hand
or in the trunk of a car, thus avoiding wasteful battery
consumption.
• Continuous operation of the unit causes the battery
power to be consumed quicker than non-continuous
operation.
• Operation of the unit in a cold place causes the battery
power to be consumed more quickly than in a warm
place.
Cautions
If batteries are used incorrectly, it may result in
electrolyte leakage or they may explode.
• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the
positive ª and negative · terminals positioned
correctly.
• Do not mix new and old batteries together, or mix
different types of batteries.
• Do not try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
• Remove the batteries when the unit is not to be used
for an extended period of time.
• Remove the batteries when operating the unit on
the household AC; though the power supply is
automatically switched from the batteries to the
household AC when the AC power cord is
connected.
• If chemicals leaking from batteries come in contact
with your skin, wash them off immediately with
water. If chemicals leak on the surface of the unit,
clean the unit completely.
