4–Preparation for Use

Using with batteries

This unit can be powered by both a lithium ion

battery and two AA batteries.
By using both types of batteries together, the unit

can be operated continuously for a long time.
Moreover, one type of battery can be changed

while the unit continues to operate when, for

example the charge becomes low in one of the

batteries.

Types of batteries that can be used

Lithium ion battery (included)

AA alkaline batteries (LR6)

AA Ni-MH batteries (HR15/51)

NOTE

Manganese dry cell batteries (R6) cannot be used

with this unit.
This unit cannot recharge Ni-MH batteries. Use a

commercially available recharger.

Using the lithium ion battery

Open the battery compartment cover on the

side of the unit, and insert the battery into the
compartment with the correct orientation.

Charging the lithium ion battery

There are two ways to charge the lithium ion

battery.

Charging with an AC adapter

Connect a PS-P520 AC adapter (sold separately)
to the unit's

DC IN 5V

connector. Charging takes

about three hours. (See “Using an AC adapter

(sold separately)” on page 18.)

Charging with a computer

Connect with a computer using the included

USB cable. Charging takes about six hours. (See

“8–Connecting with a Computer” on page 37.)

NOTE

Connect this unit to the computer directly. Proper

operation cannot be guaranteed when using a USB

hub.
When connected by USB, recharging occurs even if

the unit’s power is off.
When recharging with a computer, this unit enters

the USB mode, so other functions cannot be used.
The CHARGE indicator lights while charging and

turns off when charging is complete.

Using AA batteries

Open the battery compartment cover on the back

of the unit, install the batteries with the correct

+/- orientation and close the battery compartment

cover.

When using AA batteries, set the type of battery

in order to accurately show the amount of power

remaining and allow the unit to accurately

determine whether power is available for proper

operation. (See “Setting the type of AA batteries

(AA BATTERY)” on page 45.)
