							When using an AC power source
(when using the AU-B110/AJ-B75 AC adaptor)
1Connect the unit’s external DC input socket to the DC OUT connector
on the AU-B110/AJ-B75 AC adaptor.
2Turn on the AC adaptor’s power.
3Set the unit’s POWER switch to the ON position.
Check the pin signals of the external DC input socket when an external
power source other than the AU-B110/AJ-B75 AC adaptor is to be used.
Notes:$Priority is given to the power supplied from the AC adaptor when
both a battery pack and AC adaptor have been connected.
$When the AC adaptor is used, the low battery warning may appear
depending on the BATT.SELECT menu setting.  If this happens, it
is recommended that the Ni-Cd12V setting be used for
BATT.SELECT.
$When the AC adaptor is used, the AC adaptor’s power must be
turned on before the unit’s POWER switch is set to the ON
position.  If the POWER switch is set to ON first, the unit may
malfunction since the AC adaptor’s output voltage increases
slowly after the power has been turned on.Pin No. Signal
