Setting Up Uher 4000 Report Monitor Tor Use; Operation On Dry Cells - uher 4000 REPORT MONITOR Bedienungsanleitung

1. Setting Up UHER 4000 REPORT MONITOR for Use
UHER 4000 REPORT MONITOR is designed for universal pow-
ering. Single dry cells, a special rechargeable (nicad cr lead)
storage battery or a mains power supply unit may be inserted,
as needed or desired, into the machine after removing the bot-
tom plate of the recorder by turning the securing screw antj-
clockwise.
In addition, with the appropriate connecting lead, the 4000 RE-
PORT MONITOR mayaiso be powered bya 12-V or 24-V car
battery (see sec. 1.4).
1.1 Operation on Dry Ce~ls
Five 1.5-volt dry cells are required. All types currently available
may be used, but leak-proof ceUs are strongly recommended
Be certain, however, that all cells inserted tnto the machine
are 01 ane and the same type. Used-up cells should be removed
immediately so as to avoid damaging the power supply con-
tacts in the battery compartment. No responsibility may be
accepted by the manufacturer of the recorder for damages
resulting from dead batteries. Insert the cells into the battery
compartment as shown in Fig. 1.
1.1.1 Operating Life of Dry Cells
The operating life of (single) dry cells depends largely on their
quality. High playback volume and fast-forward or rewind opera-
tion naturally consume more power than normal wind at a
relatively low volume level. The figures quoted below must,
therefore, be considered as averages.
When using powerful and highly efficient (alkali-manganese)
cells, the operating life of the cells may be expected to be
5 hours (see also sec. 9.4). With the storage battery, on the
other hand, the recorder may be operated for approximately
5 hours, whether in continuous operation or with interruptions.
1.1.2 Testing Bat1ery Strength
When key (11) is pressed while the recorder is switched on,
the level meter (16) will indicate battery strength (see sec. 3.9).
If the pointer remains within the green segment of the scale,
the battery \s still in good operating condition. If the pointer
