Prepare spare batteries when going out for recording.
≥Prepare batteries enough to last for 3 to 4 times the period you are planning to record for. Cold places such as a ski resort can shorten recording time.
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the terminals are damaged.
≥When this unit or battery charger is attached with the terminal part in a deformed state, this unit or battery charger may be damaged.
Do not throw old battery into fire.
≥Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may result in an explosion.
If the operating time is very short even after the battery has been recharged, the battery has worn out. Please purchase a new battery.
About the AC adaptor/battery charger
≥If the temperature of the battery is extremely high or extremely low, charging may take time or the battery may not be charged.
≥If the charging lamp keeps flashing, make sure that the terminals of the battery or the battery charger are not exposed to dirt, foreign objects or dust, then reconnect them properly.
Disconnect the AC cable from the AC outlet when you remove dirt, foreign objects or dust on the terminals of the battery or the battery charger.
If the charging lamp is still flashing, the temperature of the battery may be extremely high or extremely low or something may be wrong with the battery or battery charger. Contact your dealer.
≥If you use the AC adaptor or battery charger near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC adaptor or battery charger 1 m (3.3 feet) or more away from the radio.
≥When using the AC adaptor or battery charger, it may generate whirring sounds. However, this is normal.
≥After use, be sure to disconnect the AC cable from the AC outlet. (If you leave this unit connected, the AC adaptor will consume approximately 0.3 W and the battery charger approximately 0.3 W of current.)
≥Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor, battery charger and battery clean.
