Getting ready to use the R-1
Installing the batteries and turning on the power
Types of batteries you can use:
•
AA alkaline batteries (LR6)
•
AA nickel metal hydride batteries (HR15/51)
* The R-1 itself is not able to charge nickel metal hydride batteries; you will need to use a
separate battery charger.

Note when using the R-1 on batteries
•
We recommend using alkaline batteries which have a longer life.
•
Don't mix new batteries with used batteries or batteries of different types.
•
If you won't be using the R-1 for an extended period of time, you should remove
the batteries to prevent them from leaking and damaging the unit.
•
If the R-1 is running on batteries, the display may turn off (the Sleep function) or
the LCD backlight may turn off to save power. If you want to change these
settings, proceed as described in "System settings (Setup mode)" (p. 54).
If you're using the AC adaptor, these settings are not used.
•
When connecting the R-1 to your computer via a USB cable, you must use the AC
adaptor to prevent the batteries from running down while connected.
