Notes: If the unit will not be used for a long period of time, remove the AC power lead from the wall socket. Connection of the AC power lead to the unit disconnects the batteries. Never use a power lead other than the one supplied. It may cause an electric shock or fire. 3 Disconnect the AC power lead, and remove the battery compartment cover. Insert 8 "D", size batteries (UM/SUM-1, R20, HP-2 or similar) into the battery compartment. Insert the batteries according to the direction indicated on the rear panel. When inserting or removing the batteries, push them towards the battery terminals. Installing the batteries incorrectly may cause the unit to malfunction. Replace the battery compartment cover. Battery replacement: Replace the batteries when they become weak and/or recording or playback is impaired. This may occur even though radio broadcasts are audible. Notes: Replace all old batteries with new ones at the same time. Do not mix old and new batteries. Remove the batteries if they are weak or if the unit will not be used for long periods of time. This will prevent potential damage due to battery leakage. Batteries are not included. Caution: Do not use rechargeable batteries (nickel-cadmium battery, etc.).
