11. Using optional batteries
Your FR-2/FR-2b has a compartment that contains a special holder unit into which you can install 8 optional AA-type batteries. You
can therefore play your instrument without connecting the supplied adaptor.
Installing and removing batteries
The FR-2/FR-2b provides a battery compartment with a spe-
cial holder unit into which 8 AA-type (R6) batteries can be
installed.
By pressing [SET] + register [3] (BATT), you can check the bat-
tery status. If all registers (the green and red ones) are lit, the
batteries are fully charged. If only the red registers light, the
remaining battery life is about 1 hour. (You may need to hold
down [SET] to check the battery status). If the [PAD] button
and only the last two ORCHESTRA registers light during this
operation, the FR-2/FR-2b is powered by the supplied adap-
tor. If the [REC] button lights, the batteries are used to power
the FR-2/FR-2b.
Note: Please see page 6 for notes on battery handing.
(1) Switch off the FR-2/FR-2b.
(2) Remove the cover from the FR-2/FR-2b’s battery com-
partment by pressing the two tabs and lifting the cover.
You should now see a tab that allows you to remove the
battery case:
(3) Use the tab to pull the battery case out of the compart-
ment.
The battery case is connected to the FR-2/FR-2b by means
of a cable with a padded connector strip. You can discon-
nect the cable from the battery case by pulling off the pad-
ded connector strip.
Note that this is unnecessary if you manage to install (or
remove) the batteries without disconnecting the strip.
(4) Insert 8 AA-type (R6) batteries into the compartment (4
on either side), taking care to orient them in accordance
with the “+” and “–” indications.
(5) Insert the case with the 8 batteries into the compart-
ment.
(6) Close the FR-2/FR-2b’s battery compartment.
Note about rechargeable batteries
Certain batteries can be recharged several times before they
need to be replaced with a new ones. Note that it is normal
for the batteries to last increasingly shorter as time goes by.
At the end of their life cycle, they may only last one hour, for
example. But that is a gradual process.
