Notes on a rechargeable battery

∙When you use the battery for the first time or after a long period of disuse, the battery life may be shorter. In this case, charge and discharge the battery several times. The battery life will be restored.

∙If the rechargeable battery capacity becomes half the normal life, replace it with a new one.

Notes on dry batteries

Incorrect battery usage may lead to leakage of battery fluid or bursting batteries. To prevent such accidents, observe the following precautions:

∙Install the + and – poles of the batteries correctly.

∙Do not install new and used batteries or different kinds of batteries together.

∙Do not try to recharge the batteries.

∙When the recorder is not to be used for a long time, be sure to remove the batteries.

∙If a battery leak should develop, carefully and thoroughly wipe away battery fluid from the battery compartment before inserting new ones.
