BATTERY INSTALLATION
1. Open hinged battery compartment door by pressing down at
arrow, sliding it as indicated and lifting it up.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the battery door, do not attempt
to force door beyond its normal stopping point.
2. Insert 2 "AA"-size alkaline batteries (not included) into bat-
tery compartment. Be sure the (-t-) or cap end of each battery
is installed as shown on the battery diagram.
3. Close the battery door.
To save on batteries, use the optional Rechargeable Battery
Pack, No. 5-1753. (See page 7.)
NOTE: If the recording sounds distorted, or if the tape moves
very slowly or not at all, check the batteries. Try AC
power or a fresh set of batteries before seeking service
(See Rec/Batt Light, page 6).
Please note, if unit is in AVR mode for recording pur-
poses, tape operation will not start until a sound ac-
tivates the function.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to remove the batteries when storing the
unit for more than a few weeks at a time. Leaky batteries can
badly damage the recorder. Dispose of "dead" batteries in the
proper manner in accordance with state and local regulations.

To save batteries, you can use the AC Power Converter to

The AC Power Converter cord plugs into the 3V DC Jack on the
