User Guide

The HandHeld can be powered by three sources: alkaline batteries,
a rechargeable battery pack* and via the Docking Station*. The first
two are inserted on the back of the HandHeld. The picture below
shows the HandHeld with the back-cover already removed.

Alkaline batteries
When alkaline batteries are used, observe that the polarity of the cells match the polarity indica-
ted on the sticker (3). Use four AAA-type or LR03-type alkaline cells only. The indicator is calibra-
ted for alkaline batteries only, for all other types of batteries Maycom cannot guarantee proper
functionality.
Insert the compact flash card (1) first and lift up the lid (2). Insert the cells one by one between
the springs (4) and the lid (2). Never use partially empty and full cells together. Never leave the
cells inside the HandHeld when the recorder will not be used for a longer period. This prevents
the cells from running empty and leaking acid inside the HandHeld.
5 minutes before the batteries run empty the HandHeld will give a visible warning on the display
and a short beep in the headphone or loudspeaker. Longer warning beeps are given 3,2 and 1
minute before complete discharge. The last 10 seconds the HandHeld will beep continuously. If
at this point a recording still takes place the recorder will automatically stop and shut down.
Important!:
If the batteries are empty take care of proper disposal.
Battery pack
The second and more convenient power source is a rechargeable NiMH battery pack*. This pack
is equipped with a smart battery system that delivers the highest performance in operating time,
lifetime and reliability. The smart battery system also enables you to check the battery state of
charge even if the pack is not attached to the HandHeld or the Docking Station.
