You can use the recorder on …

—house current.

—a nickel metal hydride rechargeable battery (supplied).

—dry battery (not supplied).

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.
