Charging the Built-in Battery

The built-in, rechargeable backup battery retains the date and time and the time code data.

The built-in battery is constantly being charge whenever this device is connected to a power supply, but it gradually dis- charges while this device is disconnected from a power sup- ply. The battery will be fully discharged when this device is not used for about three months, in which case the set date and time and time code data are reset.

In this case, recharge the built-in battery and then set the date and time and time code data again.

However, it is possible to use this device even if the built-in battery is discharged but the date and time and time code data cannot be recorded.

How to charge the built-in battery

1.Connect the AC adapter to this device and an AC outlet or mount a charged battery on this device.

2.Set the POWER switch on this device to “ON” or “OFF” (charging takes places with the POWER switch set to either of the positions).

3.Leave the equipment in this condition for about 4 hours.

The built-in battery will remain charged for about 3 months after being charged for about 4 hours.
