When using batteries
Insert four rechargeable Ni-MH (AA) batteries. This allows
approximately 10 hours of playing.

buttons and knobs from damage. Also, handle the unit
carefully; do not drop it.
* Battery life can vary depending on the specifications of the
batteries, capacity of the batteries, and the conditions of use.
* When the batteries run low, the power LED (orange) blinks.
* If you handle batteries improperly, you risk explosion fluid
leakage. Make sure that you carefully observe all of the items
related to batteries that are listed in “USING THE UNIT SAFELY”
(p. 10) and “IMPORTANT NOTES” (p. 11).
When supplying power from a USB AC adaptor
