1. Battery Compartment

The Black knob rotates clockwise to lock the battery compartment door. It will only accept an NP-1 type

battery. You can use Li-Ion or NiMH batteries, as long as you observe the warnings below.

NOTE: It is possible to insert the battery incorrectly. The only indication it is in wrong is the unit will not

power up. To install the battery correctly, turn it so the contact end is facing toward the opening and the

surface with the contacts is turned toward the External Power connector.

NOTE: Consider, once you have inserted the battery and closed the door, pushing the battery ejector pin

on the opposite side just a bit. This will press the battery against the inside of the battery door helping to

keep the door from unlatching and opening-up.

2. External Power connector (XLR-4M)

(See Power Connector (XLR-4) {p.173}.)

WARNINGS:

1) Do NOT install an internal battery with a voltage higher than 16.8 VDC.

2) Do NOT connect the external power connector to a source higher than 18.0 VDC.

Those are the ABSOLUTE upper limits. If you exceed either of these limits by even 0.1 VDC, you will

BLOW the unit’s power supply and require it to be sent in for maintenance. The warranty will be

VOID if it is determined that the power supply was blown by violating either of these warnings.

3. AES (digital) input connector (DE-15 or mini DB-15)

Connect the supplied AES input cable to this connector. The cable provides four pairs of AES input. (See

AES Digital Input / Output Connectors (DB-15) {p.177}.)

4. Hard Disk Drive in Carrier

The carrier holds the Primary Drive where all audio is initially recorded.

5. Power Switch and Power LED

When the power switch is ‘ON’ and power is available, the green LED illuminates.

6. AES (digital) output connector (DE-15 or mini DB-15)

Connect the supplied AES output cable to this connector. The cable provides four pairs of AES output. (See

AES Digital Input / Output Connectors (DB-15) {p.177}.)
