4–Preparation for Use
Turning the power on and off
Press and hold the POWER key to turn the power
ON and OFF
CAUTION
Always use the power key to turn the unit power OFF.
When the power is ON, do not remove the battery (or
batteries) set as the MAIN battery or disconnect the
PS-P520 adapter (sold separately) if no batteries are
installed. Doing so will cause all recordings, settings
and other data to be lost.
Battery settings
You can set either the lithium ion battery or
the AA batteries as the main power source and
the other as the backup source when both are
installed. (See “Setting the main battery source
(MAIN)” on page 44.)
By doing this, when the amount of power left
in the main source becomes insufcient for
operation, the unit automatically switches to the
backup source, allowing continued operation.
Moreover, when using AA batteries, the
battery type must be set in order for the unit to
display remaining time and operate correctly.
(See “Setting the type of AA batteries (AA
BATTERY)” on page 45.)
