4-Preparation For Use; Using With Batteries; Using The Lithium Ion Battery; Charging The Lithium Ion Battery - Tascam DR-100 Owner's Manual

Using with batteries

This unit can be powered by both a lithium ion
battery and two AA batteries.
By using both types of batteries together, the unit
can be operated continuously for a long time.
Moreover, one type of battery can be changed
while the unit continues to operate when, for
example the charge becomes low in one of the
batteries.
Types of batteries that can be used
Lithium ion battery (included)
•
AA alkaline batteries (LR6)
•
AA Ni-MH batteries (HR15/51)
•
NOTE
Manganese dry cell batteries (R6) cannot be used
with this unit.
This unit cannot recharge Ni-MH batteries. Use a
commercially available recharger.

Using the lithium ion battery

Open the battery compartment cover on the
side of the unit, and insert the battery into the
compartment with the correct orientation.

Charging the lithium ion battery

There are two ways to charge the lithium ion
battery.
Charging with an AC adapter
Connect a PS-P520 AC adapter (sold separately)
to the unit's connector. Charging takes
DC IN 5V
about three hours. (See "Using an AC adapter
(sold separately)" on page 18.)
Charging with a computer
Connect with a computer using the included
USB cable. Charging takes about six hours. (See
"8–Connecting with a Computer" on page 37.)
4–Preparation for Use
NOTE
Connect this unit to the computer directly. Proper
operation cannot be guaranteed when using a USB
hub.
When connected by USB, recharging occurs even if
the unit's power is off.
When recharging with a computer, this unit enters
the USB mode, so other functions cannot be used.
The CHARGE indicator lights while charging and
turns off when charging is complete.

Using AA batteries

Open the battery compartment cover on the back
of the unit, install the batteries with the correct
+/- orientation and close the battery compartment
cover.
When using AA batteries, set the type of battery
in order to accurately show the amount of power
remaining and allow the unit to accurately
determine whether power is available for proper
operation. (See "Setting the type of AA batteries
(AA BATTERY)" on page 45.)
