Insert memory batteries (not included) to save the current time, stored timer settings and radio stations.  
Memory back-up  
Using a household AC outlet  
Using batteries (not included)  
Insert batteries (not included) to save the current  
time, timer settings and radio stations you have  
set. If memory batteries are not used, memory  
items are erased in the following situations:  
• Power failures,  
• The AC power supply cord is disconnected  
from the power outlet,  
Connect the AC power supply cord firmly to the  
unit and the outlet.  
The unit cannot be powered by batteries if the  
AC power supply cord is connected.

Note  
When to change the batteries  
The included AC power supply cord is for use  
with this unit only. Do not use it with other  
equipment.  
When the battery indicator begins flashing,  
replace all 6 of the batteries. It is also a good  
idea to replace all the batteries before recording.  
When to change the batteries  
The batteries last about a year.  
Connect the unit to AC power before replacing  
the batteries.  
Before connecting or disconnecting the AC  
power supply cord, press [TAPE/OFF] and stop  
the tape to turn the unit off. The memory  
batteries are worn out faster if the cord is  
disconnected with the power still on.  
Note  
Before playing starts the battery indicator may  
flash although the batteries are not drained. It  
appears correctly once you start play.  
Removing the batteries  
Open the battery cover and insert your finger in  
the hole on the bottom of the unit and push out.  
(Remove the power batteries first.)
