TASCAM DR-1 5
2–Preparation
The DR-1 can be operated using a special lithium
ion battery or an AC adapter (PS-P520). One
battery is included with the unit and the AC adapter
and additional batteries are available for purchase
separately. You can charge the battery by connecting
the unit to a computer by USB or using an AC
adapter. When shipped new, the included battery is
not sufciently charged, so it must be charged before
using the unit. Charge the battery or connect the AC
adapter before using the unit.
Powering the unit
Installing the battery
Charging the battery
Changing the battery
Slide the battery case cover on the back of the unit to
open it, and insert the DR-1 battery that was included
in the box.
Charging with a computer
Open the cover on the left side panel, and use the
included USB cable to connect the unit’s USB port to
a USB port on a computer.
Please connect this unit directly to a computer. Proper
charging and operation cannot be assured when using
a USB hub.
Even if the power for the unit is off, the battery
charges when connected to a computer by USB. The
computer may need to be ON to charge the battery.
Complete charging by USB takes about 6 hours (when
the unit’s power is OFF).
When being charged by a computer, the DR-
1 automatically enters USB connect mode (see
“Connecting with a computer” on page 15).
Charging with an AC adapter
(purchased separately)
Connect an AC adapter to the DC IN 5V jack to
charge the unit.
Complete charging with the adapter takes about 3
hours (whether the unit’s power is ON or OFF).
You can use this unit normally as it is charged by the
connected AC adapter.
NOTE
The charge indicator to the right of the display lights
orange during charging. The indicator turns of when
charging is complete.

You can purchase additional batteries (BP–L2) that are
identical to the one included with the unit. You might
want to purchase extra batteries if you expect to use
the DR-1 for recording or other applications for long
periods of time when you will not be able to recharge
or use an AC adapter (also sold separately).
To change the battery, slide and remove the battery
case cover on the bottom panel.
