Rechargeable nickel metal hydride battery (BN-R127):
•Use only the rechargeable battery (BN-R127) supplied with the unit.
•If the power delivered by the battery lasts for a very short time after recharging, it means

•Recharging already charged battery will shorten its service life.
•When recharging battery for the first time or when it has not been used for a long period of
time, the play time may be shorter than usual. In a case like this, repeatedly recharge and
discharge the battery. This will restore it to its regular state.

excessive heat.
•Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.
Carrying batteries:
When putting dry cell or rechargeable batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure that no other metal
objects such as a necklace are placed together with them. Contact with metal may cause short-
