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.

Note

When you use the radio, it is recommended that you use a fully charged rechargeable battery or a new dry battery since more power is consumed by the radio than by MD playback.

When to replace the batteries

When the dry battery or rechargeable battery is weak, flashing ror “LOW BATT” appears in the display. Replace the dry battery or charge the rechargeable battery.

The battery level indicator is approximate. It may be more or less than the indication depending on the operating condition.

Note

Stop the recorder before replacing battery.
