AC adapter whenever possible. When
powering the unit from a battery, use
only an alkaline type.
AC adapter operation
• Be sure to use only an AC adapter
which supplies 9 V DC, 300 mA and is
equipped with a "center minus" plug
(Zoom AD-0006). The use of an adapter
other than the specified type may
damage the unit and pose a safety
hazard.
• Connect the AC adapter only to an AC
outlet that supplies the rated voltage
required by the adapter.
• When disconnecting the AC adapter
from the AC outlet, always grasp the
adapter itself and do not pull at the
cable.
• If the unit is not to be used for a long
time, disconnect the AC adapter from
the outlet.
