≥The configuration of the AC adaptor differs according to the area.
≥The unit is in the standby condition when the AC adap- tor is connected. The primary circuit is always “live” as long as the AC adaptor is connected to an electrical outlet.
For areas except Europe, the U.S.A. and Canada
The AC voltage is different according to the area. Be sure to set the proper voltage in your area before use. (For details, please refer to page 2.)

The unit continues to use power (for U.S.A. and Canada:
1.9W, for United Kigdom: 2.0 W, for Continental Europe: 2.1 W, for others: 1.5 W) when the AC adaptor is connected, even if the unit is off. Disconnect the AC adaptor to save electricity.
Do not connect or disconnect the AC adaptor while recording. This can cause recording to stop and data to be corrupted.

The optional rechargeable batteries take 3 to 4 hours to fully charge. Full charging can take up to 5 hours, depending on the ambient temperature and condition of the batteries.
Disconnect the AC adaptor (leaving it connected can discharge the batteries).
Note:
≥You can recharge the batteries before they are fully dis- charged.
≥Recharging may only be performed when the unit is off. ≥It is normal for the AC adaptor and batteries to become
warm during recharging.
The battery indicator
This indicator flashes when the batteries are almost fully discharged.
Replace with fresh dry cell batteries or recharge.
Note:
≥The time between when the indicator starts flashing and when the power is cut off depends on the type of batteries you are using.
≥This indicator may not function correctly if you use bat- teries other than the specified rechargeable batteries (➡ page 5).
