Preparing the Power 
Supply
The unit is in the standby condition (the [
Í] indicator lights)
when the AC power supply cord is connected. The primary 
circuit is always “live” as long as the AC adaptor is connected 
to an electrical outlet.
≥When connecting the AC adaptor, use the unit after setting it 
vertically. Placing the unit with the stand closed 
(e.g.:
D 10, 3 in “Installation of the unit”) may cause damage
to or malfunction with the AC adaptor.
To conserve power
This unit consumes 0.5 W (Approximately 5 W when Quick 
Start is set to “On”) of power even when turned off. When the 
unit is not going to be used for a long time, disconnect the AC 
power supply cord from the household AC outlet.
This unit can be used in places without an AC outlet, such as 
outdoors, by attaching the included battery pack.
≥The battery is not charged at the time of purchase. Charge 
before initial use.
≥The battery is designed only for use with this unit. It cannot be
used with other equipment.
∫Attaching the battery pack
Turn the unit off before attaching or detaching the battery pack.
≥Attach the battery after closing with the LCD screen facing 
inwards and the stand open.
∫Detaching the battery pack
When not using for long periods of time
≥Detach the battery pack (D above).
(Even when the unit is turned off, there is a small amount of 
voltage running through the unit, and this may result in a 
malfunction.)
≥Recharge the battery for re-use.
∫Recharging the battery pack
Attach the battery pack and connect the AC 
adaptor (
> left).
≥The [CHARGE] indicator lights while charging the battery, and
the [CHARGE] indicator turns off when battery charging is 
finished.
