CAUTION
We highly recommend using the AC adapter designed
for use with this unit (PS-P520U sold separately). When
using another external power supply, use one with the
following specifications.
o Supplied voltage: 5 V
o Supplied current: 1.5A or more
Using an external power supply with specifications other
than the above could cause malfunction, overheating, fire
or other problems.
If anything abnormal occurs, stop use and contact the
retailer where you purchased the unit or a TASCAM cus-
tomer support service to request repair.
NOTE
i If an external power supply that provides current less
than 1.5 A is connected, the unit will automatically enable
the POWER SAVE MODE, restricting some functions.
i When using the factory default setting, if an external
power supply is connected, power from it will be used
even if batteries are also installed.
Power supply settings can be changed with the GENER-
AL SETTINGS screen > POWER/DISPLAY page > POWER
SOURCE SELECT item.
