Notes

•Make sure to insert the rechargeable battery before placing the recorder on the battery charging stand. Charging cannot be done if you insert the rechargeable battery after placing the recorder on the battery charging stand.

•Because of the battery’s characteristics, the capacity of the rechargeable battery may be smaller than normal when it is used for the first time or after a long period of disuse. In this case, charge and discharge the battery several times. The normal battery life will be restored.

•Charge the rechargeable battery at a temperature of +5°C (+41°F) to +35°C (+95°F). The charging time may vary according to the surrounding temperature.

•It is preferable to use the recorder on house current when recording or editing. When powering the recorder with batteries, make sure the rechargeable battery is fully charged.
