For models supplied with the AC plug adaptor

If the AC power adaptor does not fit the wall outlet, use the AC plug adaptor.

When using the dry battery

Insert one LR6 (size AA) alkaline dry battery (not supplied) instead of the rechargeable battery.

Notes

Make sure not to operate the recorder while changing the rechargeable battery even if the recorder is connected to AC power adaptor. The operation may stop.

“Charging” and e may not appear in the display immediately after you connect the AC power adaptor and press x • CANCEL/CHG. The indication will, however, begin flashing after a few minutes and charging will begin.

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 a battery, make sure to use a fully charged rechargeable battery or a new alkaline dry battery.
