Power sources

You can use the recorder on house current or as follows.

—a nickel metal hydride rechargeable battery NH-7WMAA

—an LR6 (size AA) alkaline dry battery

It is preferable to use the recorder on house current when recording for a long time. When using a battery, make sure it is a fully charged rechargeable battery or a new alkaline dry battery to prevent operations (e.g., recording and editing) from failing due to insufficient battery power.

Battery life

The battery life may be shorter due to operating conditions, the temperature of the location, or alkaline dry battery you use.
