CONNECTION DIAGRAM

** When using a high-impedance instrument like a guitar, use a direct box or a preamp to lower the signal’s impedance for the recorder.

USING BATTERY POWER

Inserting Batteries:

1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back

panel.

2. Insert 4 AAA batteries into the compartment. Make sure

they are inserted with the positive (+) and negative (-)

poles positioned correctly.

3. Close the cover until it clicks into place.

Precautions:

 Always be sure batteries are inserted with the positive (+)

and negative (-) poles positioned correctly.

 Use batteries of the same type. Do not use different types

of batteries together at once.

 Only use non-rechargeable

batteries. Please refer to the

precautions on their labels before using them.

 When not in use for long periods of time, remove the

batteries to prevent them from leaking. If they leak, wipe

away the liquid from inside the battery compartment.

 Do not heat, disassemble, or dispose of batteries by

throwing them into a fire.

BOX CONTENTS

 ProTrack iPod Recorder

 AC Power Adapter

 2 Clear Protective Covers

(“sleds”) for iPods

 2 Foam Pads (for use with

sleds)

iPod

Mic (XLR)

Guitar **

CD player,

machine, etc.

Power Supply

(or 4 AAA batteries

on back panel)

Though you may use the recorder’s phantom power

feature while using batteries, this will drain your battery

power more quickly, depending on the type of

microphones you are using.

Tip: You can extend battery life while recording by

disconnecting the headphones and/or keeping the

headphone volume turned down.

You may only charge your iPod with the recorder while

it is powered by the included AC adapter or an external

battery pack.

Note that the battery levels of your iPod and ProTrack

are unrelated. The amount of battery power of your

iPod (as seen on your iPod’s screen) does not indicate

the amount of battery power of the ProTrack Recorder.

Also, using the iPOD CHARGE feature will charge only

the iPod

not the batteries of the ProTrack.

WARNING: Turn the

HEADPHONE VOLUME

all the way down before

turning on the unit to

prevent the power-on

“click” noise in your

headphones.

WARNING: Do not use rechargeable batteries as they may

damage the ProTrack.

First, connect your

iPod to the ProTrack,

then attach the

plastic sled to the

ProTrack over the

iPod.
