Installing Batteries
If eight commercially available rechargeable Ni-MH batteries
(AA, HR6) are installed, you’ll be able to play this unit without
connecting the AC adaptor.
* If you handle batteries improperly, you risk explosion and uid
leakage. Make sure that you carefully observe all of the items
related to batteries that are listed in “USING THE UNIT SAFELY”
and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (leaet “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” and
Owner’s manual.
* We recommend that you keep batteries installed in the unit
even though you’ll be powering it with the AC adaptor. That
way, you’ll be able to continue a performance even if the cord of
the AC adaptor gets accidently disconnected from the unit.
* When this unit is operating on batteries, power cannot be
supplied to the PK-9 that is connected to the PK IN connector.
Use the AC adaptor that is included with the PK-9.
Types of batteries that can be used
If operating this unit on batteries, please use rechargeable
Ni-MH batteries.
Using rechargeable Ni-MH batteries will allow approximately
5 hours of continuous operation at room temperature.
(However, the duration will be approximately 3 hours if
USB ash drive is connected. The duration of continuous
operation may dier depending on the conditions of use.)
NOTE
Do not use alkaline batteries or carbon-zinc battery batteries.
1. While pressing the tabs of the battery compartment cover
on this unit’s bottom panel, remove the cover.
* When turning the unit over, be careful so as to protect the
buttons and knobs from damage. Also, handle the unit carefully;
do not drop it.
2. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment, taking
care to observe the correct polarity (+/- orientation).
NOTE
Carefully follow the installation instructions for batteries, and
make sure you observe the correct polarity.
3. Securely close the battery compartment cover.
When to Replace the Batteries
When the batteries run low, the display will indicate “Charge Battery.”
Stop use, and recharge the batteries.
NOTE
If you continue using the unit after the “Charge Battery”
indication appears, the “Battery Low!” indication will appear, and
further operation will not be possible.
Attaching the Ferrite Core
If you use the USB cable, you must attach the included ferrite core.
This is for the purpose of preventing electromagnetic noise; do not
remove it.
1. Open the ferrite core and position it over the cable.
* You must attach the ferrite core near the plug (10 cm or less)
that is connected to this unit.
10 cm or less
2. Wrap the cable around the ferrite core; one turn is
enough.
3. Close it rmly; you should hear a distinct sound as it clicks
shut.
NOTE
• Take care not to get your ngers pinched when attaching the
ferrite core.
• Make sure you don’t apply undue force and damage the cable
when clamping on the ferrite core.
Depending on the thickness of the cable, you might not be able
to close the ferrite core with the cable wrapped once around
it. Use a cable of a thickness that allows the ferrite core to be
attached with the cable wrapped once around it.
