•The figures in the table above are guidelines for use in normal temperature conditions (temperature 25 °C (77 °F), humidity 60 %). Charging may take longer in higher or lower temperatures.

•Charging may take longer if the battery has not been in use for a long period of time.

•Given here are the approximate continuous recording times when recording with no connections to any external devices.

•Available recording time may vary according to usage conditions.

•Charging times are based on charging batteries from an empty state.

■Remaining battery capacity displays When using Panasonic-manufactured batteries compatible with this product, the remaining battery capacity is displayed in minutes.

90 min

Time remaining will be displayed after a brief pause.

• The battery display will change

→→→→ as

battery capacity decreases. will be displayed in red when less than 3 minutes are remaining, and

will flash when the battery is empty.

• Remaining battery capacity may not be displayed correctly when using in high or low temperatures, or when the battery has not been used for a long period of time. To ensure that remaining battery capacity is displayed correctly, use the battery completely from a fully-charged state, and charge the battery again. (Remaining battery capacity may still not be displayed correctly if the battery has been used for long periods in high or low temperatures, or if the battery has been recharged a large number of times.)

•The remaining battery capacity display is a guideline and may change according to usage conditions.

•The remaining battery capacity display will momentarily disappear when switching between modes or when changing the LCD backlight brightness since the capacity is recalculated at these times.

•Not displayed when using AC adapter.

•Keep metal objects (such as necklaces and hairpins) away from the battery. Short-circuiting may occur across the terminals, causing the battery to heat up, and you may seriously burn yourself if you touch the battery in this state.

•The battery becomes hot while it is being used or charged. The portable recorder itself also becomes hot during use.

•The recordable time reduces if you repeatedly start and stop recording.

•The battery takes longer to charge when it is warm.

•The AC adapter can interfere with radio reception so keep radios at least 1 meter away from it.

•The AC adapter may make some noise when you are using it, but this is normal.

•Battery cannot be recharged when the DC cable is connected to the AC adapter.
