When the remaining battery/charging indicator indicates “,” charging is completed. (Charging time: approx. 8 hours*)

When you use the IC recorder for the first time, or after you have not used the IC recorder for a certain time, it is recommended that you charge the battery repeatedly until “” is displayed.

If the remaining battery/charging indicator is not displayed, charging has not been done properly. Proceed from step 1 again.

*This is an approximation for the time it takes to charge from no remaining battery power to full battery power at room temperature.

It varies depending on the remaining power and the condition of the battery. It also takes more time if the temperature of the battery is low, or if the battery is charged while you are transferring data to the IC recorder.

If the IC recorder cannot be connected to your computer directly, use the supplied USB connection support cable.

Tip

You can charge the rechargeable battery by connecting the IC recorder to an AC outlet using a USB AC adaptor (not supplied) (page 60).
