Installing Batteries
* Batteries are supplied with the unit. The life of these batteries
may be limited, however, since their primary purpose was to
enable testing.
Insert the included batteries as shown in figure, being careful
to orient the batteries correctly.

• When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch of
newspapers or magazines, and place them under the
four corners or at both ends to prevent damage to the
buttons and controls. Also, you should try to orient the
unit so no buttons or controls get damaged.
• When turning the unit upside-down, handle with care to
avoid dropping it, or allowing it to fall or tip over.
• Make sure the “+” and “-” ends of the batteries are
oriented correctly.
• A “b” appears in the display when the batteries are
nearly worn out. When this occurs, replace with new
batteries.
• When replacing the batteries, use six AA type.
• Avoid using new batteries together with used ones. In
addition, avoid mixing different types of batteries. Doing
so can result in fluid leakage.
• Battery life can vary depending on battery type.
Continuous usage time under battery power is about 12
hours with alkaline batteries and about 3.5 hours with
carbon batteries.
(This may vary according to usage conditions.)
Making the Connections
The ME-50B is not equipped with any internal amplifier or
speakers. To listen to sound with the ME-50B, connect it to a
bass amp, stereo headphones, or other such sound
equipment.
* To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other
devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power
on all devices before making any connections.

● If there are batteries in the unit while an AC adaptor is
being used, normal operation will continue should the
line voltage be interrupted (power blackout or power
cord disconnection from the ME-50B).
●
To prevent the inadvertent disruption of power to your
unit (should the plug be pulled out accidentally), and to
avoid applying undue stress to the AC adaptor jack,
anchor the power cord using the cord hook, as shown in
the illustration.

● When outputting monaurally, connect a cable only to the
OUTPUT L (MONO) jack.
● Do not use a cable containing a resistor to connect CD or
MD players to the AUX IN jack. If a cable incorporating
resistance is used, audio from CD and MD players may
become inaudible.
