The unit can also be operated by connecting the AC power adaptor to the DC
IN 6V (external power input) jack.
Tip
When an external power source is connected, the unit automatically switches
to the external power source, regardless of whether the batteries are installed.
Notes
• Keep the batteries installed even when operating on external power sources as

backup for the unit’s microcomputer. Replace the batteries about once a year.

• Turn off the unit when connecting or disconnecting external power

sources. Otherwise, the power may go off and “E” may appear. In
this case, turn on the power again to clear the “E” display.

adaptor from the wall outlet, then disconnect the AC power adaptor
from the DC IN 6V jack of the unit. The unit will not operate on
batteries as long as the DC IN 6V jack is plugged in.

(rated output voltage/current: 6 V DC/700 mA).

be heard while using the unit. Refer to the
operating instructions of the AC power adaptor.
