Prepare spare batteries when going out for recording.
≥Prepare batteries appropriate to 3 to 4 times the period you are planning to record for. Cold places such as a ski resort can shorten the period which you can record for.
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the terminals are damaged.
≥Inserting a battery with damaged terminals can damage the unit or AC adaptor.
Do not throw old battery into fire.
≥Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may result in an explosion.
If the operating time is very short even after the battery has been recharged, the battery has worn out. Please purchase a new battery.
About the AC adaptor
≥If the temperature of the battery is extremely high or extremely low, charging may take time or the battery may not be charged.
≥If the charging lamp keeps flashing, make sure that the terminals of the battery or the AC adaptor are not exposed to dirt, foreign objects or dust, then reconnect them properly.
Disconnect the AC cable from the AC outlet when you remove dirt, foreign objects or dust on the terminals of the battery or the AC adaptor.
If the charging lamp is still flashing, the temperature of the battery may be extremely high or extremely low or something may be wrong with the battery or AC adaptor. Contact your dealer.
≥If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC adaptor 1 m (3.3 feet) or more away from the radio.
≥When using the AC adaptor, it may generate whirring sounds. However, this is normal.
≥After use, be sure to disconnect the AC adaptor. (If it is left connected, a minute amount of current is consumed.)
≥Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor and battery clean.
