About the battery

The battery used in this unit is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It is susceptible to humidity and temperature and the effect increases the more the temperature rises or falls. In cold areas, the full charge indication may not appear or the low battery indication may appear for about

5 minutes after starting use. At high temperatures, the protection function may be triggered, making it impossible to use the unit.

Be sure to detach the battery after use.

If the battery is left inserted, a minute amount of current continues to flow even if the unit’s power is off. Keeping the unit in this state may result in over discharge of the battery. This

may result in you not being able to use the battery even after it is charged.

The battery should be stored in the vinyl bag so metal does not come into contact with the terminals.

The battery should be stored in a cool place free from humidity, with as constant temperature as possible. (Recommended temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F), Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%)

Extremely high temperatures or low temperatures will shorten the life of the battery.

If the battery is kept in high-temperature, high- humidity, or oily-smoky places, the terminals may rust and cause malfunctions.

To store the battery for a long period of time, we recommend you charge it once every year and store it again after you have completely used up the charged capacity.

Dust and other matter attached to the battery terminals should be removed.

Prepare spare batteries when going out for recording.

Prepare enough batteries to last 3 to 4 times the period you are planning to record.

Cold weather, such as when skiing, can shorten the recording period.

If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the terminals are damaged.

Inserting a battery with damaged terminals can damage the unit or AC adaptor.

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.
