Batteries

Types of batteries that can be used
Manganese, alkaline or nickel-metal hydride AA batteries can be used with this unit.

Inserting the batteries
Remove the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the unit. Insert 2 AA batteries oriented correctly with the + and – marks inside the compartment, and reclose the cover.

NOTE

Confirming the remaining battery charge
When the batteries still have a charge, pressing any pedal will cause the battery charge remaining indicator on the bottom to light momentarily. If the batteries are dead, the indicator will not light.

Using the footswitch

This unit does not have any settings. The pedals only send signals when they are pressed. Their functions are determined by the settings of the connected device.

1. Connect this unit's 2.5-mm TRS plug to the remote control jack or other appropriate input on the device that you want to use it with. Do not connect it to a recorder or other device that is not compatible with this footswitch. Visit the TASCAM website (http://www.tascam.com/) for information about compatible products.
2. Set the connected device so that the foot switch can be used. See the Owner's Manual of the connected device for details.
3. Pressing each pedal sends a signal that will trigger the function set on the connected unit.

Troubleshooting

Check the battery charge. If the battery charge remaining indicator on the bottom does not light at all when any of the pedals are pressed, the batteries are dead. Replace them with new ones. If the indicator lights, check the settings on the connected device and the connection of the 2.5-mm TRS plug. If you are still unable to resolve the problem, contact the store where you bought the unit or a TASCAM Service Center.
