z Getting Started
Preparing a Power Source
Choose one of the following power sources
Dry Batteries (see Fig. A-a)
Make sure that nothing is connected to the DC IN 3V jack.
1 Open the battery compartment lid.
2 Insert two R03 (size AAA) batteries:
When to replace the batteries (see Fig. A-b)
Replace the batteries with new ones when the DICT/BATT lamp dims.
Notes on the DICT/BATT lamp
• After the batteries have been used for a while, the DICT/BATT lamp may flicker
with the playback sound when you turn up the volume; however, this does not
mean that you need to change the batteries.
• The unit will play back normally for a while even after the DICT/BATT lamp dims.
However, replace the batteries as soon as you can. If you do not, subsequent
recording will not be done correctly.
Notes on batteries
• Do not charge a dry battery.
• Do not use a new battery with an old one.
• Do not use different types of batteries.
• When you do not use the unit for a long time, remove the batteries to avoid any
damage caused by battery leakage and subsequent corrosion.
• Dry batteries will not be expended when another power source is connected.
House Current (see Fig. A-c)
Use the AC-E30HG AC power adaptor (not supplied). Connect the adaptor
to the DC IN 3V jack and to a wall outlet. Do not use any other AC power
adaptor.
Inserting a Cassette
Before inserting the cassette, take up any slack in the tape with a thick
pencil. (see Fig. B-a)
Use only standard Microcassettes with this unit.
(see Fig. B-b)
Non-standard microcassettes cannot be used because their “L” dimension
(see illustration) is different.
