Battery dip
• When the batteries need replacing, the MFC06 indicators will begin
to flash. When this happens, replace all six batteries at the same
time. New batteries
• When performing, it's a good idea to have a spare set of batteries
handy — just in case.
• It is a good idea to have a fresh set of batteries installed even when
using the PA-I AC adapter. If the AC adapter cord is accidentally
unplugged during use, the MFC06 will instantly switch to battery
power.
Even when no batteries are installed, make sure to attach the
battery clip to the battery holder.If this is not done, the battery clip
can come in contact with a conducting surface insi& the battery
compartment, thus shorting the power supply and possible causing
damage.
