BATTERY PERATI N (BATTERIES N T INCLUDED)
• pen the Battery Compartment cover by depressing the
finger grip and pulling out (See Figure 2 on Page15 ).
• Install three "D" size batteries.
IMP RTANT:
Each battery should be installed observing the correct polar ­
ity as shown in Figure 2 on page 15.
• Close the battery compartment cover.
N TE:
When the L W battery indicator lights with the power sup ­
plied, replace all the batteries.

RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACK
The RB430 can be recharged again and again, thereby elimi ­
nating the need for frequent battery replacement.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACK INSTALLATI N
pen the battery compartment cover, then install the battery
pack by pressing the flat negative (-) side of the pack against
the spring and positioning the positive (+) side of the pack
against the charging terminal of the recorder. Make sure that
the label side of the battery pack is facing up.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
The battery pack can be charged by connecting the AC
adaptor. (There is no need to operate the recorder at this
time.)
The AC adaptor accessory makes it possible to operate the
recorder on AC power. Before plugging the adaptor into an
AC outlet, check the outlet voltage and set the AC adaptor
for that voltage. After wards, insert the AC adaptor's output
plug into the 4.5 V DC jack in the recorder.
N TE:
The RB430 Battery Pack is automatically recharged, and
the batteries disconnected, when the power cord is connected
to the AC receptacle.
CAUTI N:
When not using the recorder, unplug the AC adaptor from
the wall outlet and the DC jack on the recorder.
CAUTI N F R RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
It takes approximately 16 to 24 hours to recharge the RB430
Battery Pack. Charging for a longer period of time will over ­
charge the RB430, and will shorten the life of your battery
pack.
The battery can be destroyed if shorting, so be careful to
avoid shortage.
PERATI N DURING CHARGING
It is advisable not to operate the unit during charging as it
could cause problems with the AC adaptor.
CAUTI N UP N USING THE AC ADAPT R
If the AC adaptor is detached from the AC outlet but is
still plugged into the PMD201 or PMD221, the unit cannot
operate even if power is supplied from another source
(batteries for example).
AC ADAPT R
The AC adaptor accessory can only be used with the
PMD201 or the PMD221.
Do not use this AC adaptor for other units or purposes as
this could cause problems.
P WER FR M AN EXTERNAL DE S URCE
This unit can also be operated with an external DC power
source of 4.5 V and 700 mA. A " DC to DC " converter must
be used to operate the unit with DC power sources other
than 4.5 volts, such as a 12 volt automobile battery. DC to
DC converters for this purpose may be purchased at many
retail electronics stores. To operate this unit, the DC to DC
converter must have a plug that will fit the DC "4.5V" Input
jack on the side of the unit. This plug must be the same type
of coaxial sleeve power plug found on the AC adaptor
supplied with your unit. Note that this plug has an outer
diameter of 0.217 inch, an inner diameter of 0.080 inch,
and a length of 0.375 inch. The converter output must pro ­
duce 4.5 V DC and 700 mA. Connect the 4.5 V DC output
plug of the DC to DC converter to the Input jack labeled
"4.5 V" on the side of the unit, and follow the DC to DC
converter manufacturers' instructions for connection to a
12 V or other power source.
N TE:
The outer sleeve of the DC to DC converter plug must be
positive (+), and the inner sleeve must be negative ( — ).
It is very important that any DC to DC converter used with
this unit must confirm to these specifications, or serious
damage to your unit may be caused.
