Connection

FM Telescopic Antenna

Stretch the telescopic antenna to it's fullest length and rotate it to

the direction that gives the best reception.

AUX IN jack

You can connect a portable audio player to this jack.

Connect the LINE OUT or PHONES jack (audio output jack) of the

player using the supplied stereo mini plug cable.

When using the PHONES jack of your mini player, you must adjust

the volume of the mini-player or you may hear no sound from

your R-12.

Turning the volume of the mini player up too high may cause the

sound from your R-12 to be distorted. If this is the case, reduce

the volume of the mini player until the distortion stops and then

adjust the volume level of the R-12 to a comfortable listening level

PHONES

For private listening, insert the headphones plug into this jack,

and adjust the volume using the VOLUME knob.

CAUTION

Always lower the volume level prior to plugging in your

headphones. TO AVOID DAMAGING YOUR HEARING - Do not

place your headphones on your head until after you have plugged

them in.

DC IN

Connect the provided AC adaptor to this jack. Then, connect the

AC adaptor's plug to the AC wall socket.

Do not use any AC adaptors other than the one included with this

unit to avoid fire, electric shock, etc. Be sure to connect the

adaptor to an AC outlet that supplies the correct voltage.

CAUTION

Switch off the power before making connections.

Read the instructions of each component you intend to use with this unit.

Be sure to insert each plug securely. To prevent hum and noise, do not bundle the

connection cords.

ENGLISH

Rechargeable Batteries

The R-12 uses a Nickel-Metal-Hydride

battery pack stored in the battery

compartment. Leaving the AC adaptor

connected to the R-12 and plugged into an

AC line, ensures the batteries will be fully

charged when you need to use the R-12 on

battery power. The R-12 can be used for 6

to 7 hours after batteries are fully charged.

When the batteries need to be

recharged, the POWER ON indicator

blinks at regular intervals. The blinking

interval will grow faster as the batteries

get closer to discharge until the R-12

shuts off automatically to protect the

batteries.

When the R-12 is not being used but the

AC adaptor is plugged in, the batteries

will be completely charged within

approximately 3.5 hours from a full

discharge. During this period the POWER

ON indicator will flash.

When the R-12 is ON and the AC

adaptor plugged in, the batteries will be

completely charged within approximately

24 hours.

It may take up to 4 charge and discharge

cycles before the batteries are operating

at full capacity when the R-12 is new or

left unused for several weeks.

It is suggested that the R-12 be plugged

in for about 12 hours before you use it

for the first time.

Once the R-12 has been fully charged

while it is OFF, do not unplug the AC

adaptor and then immediately plug it

again. This will restart the charging cycle

even though the batteries are fully

charged. Doing this repeatedly will

damage the batteries.

If the R-12 is not plugged in, the

batteries will slowly discharge as a safety

measure.

The cycles of recharging the Nickel-

Metal-Hydride battery pack diminish the

battery's capacity. It is called "Memory

effect". To prevent this, sometimes the

battery must be fully discharged before

you recharge it.

To discharge the battery, unplug the AC

adaptor and leave the R-12 ON until it

will shut off automatically. If you feel the

battery capacity was reduced, leave the

battery unused for several weeks.

If the usable time decreases after the battery is fully charged, replace the

battery with a new one. To order new battery pack for replacement, please

contact your dealer or a TEAC service center.

1. Remove the battery compartment cover.

2. Disconnect the battery pack connector, and remove it.

3. Insert a new battery pack and attach its connector.

4. Close the cover.

Caution:

Do not heat or disassemble rechargeable batteries. Never dispose of old

batteries by throwing them in a fire.
