Notes

•Be sure to stop the recorder before replacing the battery. Unloading the battery while the recorder is in use may corrupt the file. If you are recording into a file and the battery runs out, you will lose your currently recorded file because the file header will not be able to close. It is crucial to change the battery once you see only one hash mark in the battery indicator.

•If it takes longer than 1 hour to replace the dead battery, you may have to reset the time when you load a fresh battery (☞ P.12).

•Remove the battery if you are not going to use the recorder for an extended period of time.
