Using Batteries in the BR-80

You can power the BR-80 with akaline batteries (such as the ones
that ship with the BR-80) or rechargeable nickel-metal hydride
batteries. Obviously, batteries are the way to go when you want
to take advantage of the BR-80's portability.

Installing Batteries

With the BR-80 turned off, turn it over to view its bottom panel.
1
While pressing the grip on the battery compartment cover, slide the
2
cover away from the BR-80's body to reveal the battery compartment.
Insert the batteries with their + and – ends arranged as shown here.
3
Slide the battery cover back in to pop it into place.

If you're using rechargeable batteries, you'll need to let the BR-80
know by selecting these batteries as the BATTERY value, as explained
on page 114 of the Owner's Manual.

AC Power and the BR-80

If you have access to a grounded AC outlet, you can power the
BR-80 using a Roland PSA-series adapter, sold separately.

This isn't something you need to do now, but just so you know: To power

About The BR-80 Modes

The BR-80 operates in three different modes:
•
•
•
Switch between modes using the BR-80's Power button—
each press switches between modes, as shown by the lit
indicator next to the Power button. (Here, it's MTR mode.)
Turn the VOLUME wheel on the left side panel all the way
1
down to lower the BR-80's output volume.
Press the BR-80's Power button for a couple of seconds—
2
the BR-80 boots up to the home screen of the mode you
were last using. (We'll explain modes in the next section.)
We'll need your BR-80 turned on for this booklet from here on.

MTR mode—in which the BR-80's a multitrack recorder.
eBand mode—in which you'll jam along with the BR-80's eBand songs.
LIVE REC mode—in which the BR-80 acts as a stereo recorder.
It takes a moment for the BR-80 to switch modes. Don't hold down the
Power button for too long—that's how you turn off the BR-80.
