Rechargeable batteries

Read the information below carefully when using a nickel-metal hydride rechargeable battery (model BR404).

4Discharging

Rechargeable batteries discharge naturally when not in use. Be sure to charge the battery before use.

4Operating temperature

Rechargeable batteries are chemical-based products. Their performance can vary even when used within the recommended operating temperature range. This variation is normal.

NOTE

•Due to the nature of nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries, new batteries and batteries not used for an extended period (one month or more) may not charge completely. The battery should become fully charged after charging and discharging the battery up to three times.

•Always dispose rechargeable batteries in the legally prescribed manner. Before disposing rechargeable batteries that are not fully discharged, take steps to prevent shorting such as insulating their terminals with tape.

4Recommended temperature ranges

When powering voice recorder: 0 to 42°C (32 to 107.6°F)

When being charged: 5 to 35°C (41 to 95°F)

During long-term storage: -20 to 30°C (-4 to 86°F)

Use of a rechargeable battery outside the temperature ranges above may result in drops in battery performance or life. When not using the voice recorder for an extended period, remove the rechargeable battery before storage to prevent fluid leakage or rust.
