About the Built-in Rechargeable

Battery

This unit is provided with a rechargeable battery that retains the date/time and various settings regardless of power-on and power-off. The rechargeable battery is charged as long as this unit is operated. If the period of operating this unit is short, the battery discharges gradually and if it is not used at all for approximately 3 months, the battery will discharge completely. If that case, charge the battery and then start using the unit. If you do not need to record the date and time when the rechargeable battery is not fully charged, you can use the unit in this state.

Charging the rechargeable battery

Connect the unit to an AC output using the AC adaptor or install the optional charged battery, turn off the unit, and leave it in this condition for 24 hours.
