Use of cordsany longer than 2 meters may result in noise appearing onthe screen.≥ If the battery pack and an external DC power supply areconnected simultaneously, then the external DC powersupply will have priority.If the external DC power supply is used, then the batterypack may be fitted or removed.≥ If an external DC power supply is used, then make surethat the external DC power supply is first turned ON, thenthis unit is turned ON. If they are turned ON in the reverseorder, then this unit may malfunction, because the outputvoltage of the external DC power supply will graduallyincrease.≥ A voltage of 20 V or more will not be indicated accuratelyon the battery voltage display.12 34DC IN socket1: GND4: +12 V
