Notes

•Do not use the recorder to charge any other battery besides the supplied one or the one designated for it (NC-WMAA).

•Though the battery may become hot during the charging procedure, this poses no danger.

•Be sure to use the supplied AC power adaptor.

•If you are recharging the battery for the first time or after a long period of disuse, the battery may not charge up to its rated capacity. This is a normal characteristic. After you use and recharge the battery a few times, it will return to its normal charge capacity.

•When the battery life of a fully charged rechargeable battery becomes about half the normal life, replace it.

•If the recorder will not be used for a long period of time, disconnect the AC power adaptor from a wall outlet.

•If during operation the recorder stops with “LoBATT” in the display, charge the rechargeable battery. You may be able to operate the recorder for a while after “LoBATT” has appeared. However, if you operate the recorder until the rechargeable battery is completely discharged, you may not be able to recharge the rechargeable battery again. If this happens, remove the rechargeable battery from the recorder once, then reinsert it before charging.

•Please note the following points when charging the battery:

—If you press x/CHARGE immediately after charging has completed, charging will begin again. If this happens, press x/ CHARGE again to stop the charging operation since the battery is already fully charged.

—Charging stops when you try to operate the recorder during charging.
