Quick Start Guide
In this section, we explain how to use this unit to record 
with the built-in mics (UNI MIC) and how to play back a 
recording.
The unit contains a factory-installed SD card, and will by 
default produce 44.1 kHz, 16-bit WAV files. 
Higher-quality or longer files can be produced using other 
recording settings. See “Selecting file format, sampling 
frequency, and maximum file size” for details on page 27.
1  Insert the included TASCAM BP-L2 lithium ion 
battery into the battery compartment on the side of 
the recorder. Orient the battery so that it fits in the 
battery compartment. 
NOTE
When the product is purchased new, the included TASCAM 
BP-L2 lithium ion battery has not been charged sufficiently 
for the operation of the recorder. Charge the battery before 
using the unit by connecting it with a computer by USB.
