Precautions
• Operate the unit only on the power sources
specified in "Specifications." For battery
operation, it is recommended that you use four
LR6 (size AA) alkaline batteries. For AC
operation, use only the supplied AC adaptor.
Do not use any other type of AC adaptor.
• Failure to use the supplied AC adaptor may
cause the unit to malfunction, as the polarity
of the plugs of other manufacturers may be
different.
• To use the unit on battery power, unplug the
connector of the AC adaptor from the DC IN
jack. The unit cannot be powered by batteries
if the connector of the AC adaptor is plugged
into the DC IN jack.
• Use the unit within a temperature range of 0°C
to 40°C. If it is used in temperatures higher
than this range, the display may gradually turn
black. If it is used in temperatures lower than
this range, the display may change very slowly.
(These irregularities will disappear and there
will be no damage to the unit when the unit is
used in the recommended temperature range
again.)
• Avoid exposure to temperature extremes,
direct sunlight, moisture, sand, dust or
mechanical shock. Never leave in a car parked
in the sun.
• Do not expose the unit to strong impact or
excessive force. A glass material is used for the
display in some models. If the glass chips or
cracks, it may cause injury. In that case, stop

• Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers,
keep personal credit cards using magnetic
coding or spring-wound watches away from
the unit to prevent possible damage from the
magnetism.
• To clean the casing, use a soft dry cloth. Do not
use any type of solvent, such as alcohol or
benzine, which may damage the finish.
• Do not operate the unit with wet hands since it
may cause a short circuit.
• Do not mix an old battery with a new one or
mix different type of batteries.
