Installing the Batteries

Install four alkaline batteries (AA, LR6) in the battery compartment located on the bottom of the unit.
* 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.
* If you handle batteries improperly, you risk explosion and fluid 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” (separate sheet “USING THE
UNIT SAFELY” and Owner’s manual (p. 12)).
* 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 accidentally disconnected from the
unit.
* To prevent malfunctions or accidents, install or replace the batteries before connecting the unit to other equipment.
* “BATTERY LOW” will appear on the display if the batteries are low. Replace them with new ones.
