On charging

Do not use the supplied AC power adaptor, the AC power cord, or the USB cable to charge any other battery beside the supplied one or the one designated for it (LIP-4WM).

Be sure to use the supplied AC power adaptor, the AC power cord, or the USB cable .

Charge the rechargeable battery at a temperature of +5 °C (+41 °F) to +35 °C (+95 °F). The charging time will vary according to the surrounding temperature. (If the surrounding temperature is low, the required charging time will be longer. This is a characteristic of the lithium-ion battery.)

If you do not use the recorder for a long time, disconnect the AC power cord from a wall outlet, remove the rechargeable battery from the recorder and keep it in the cool, dry place. To prevent degradation of the rechargeable battery, make sure not to store the rechargeable battery when it is either completely discharged or fully charged.

The recorder may become hot during the charging procedure; this, however poses no danger.

If the capacity of the rechargeable battery drops to half the normal amount, replace with the new one.

If the recorder will be unused for a long time, remove the rechargeable battery, remove the USB cable from the recorder and remove the AC power cord from the wall outlet.

On the MiniDisc cartridge

When carrying or storing the MiniDisc, keep it in its case.

Do not break open the shutter.

Do not place the cartridge where it will be subject to light, extreme temperatures, moisture or dust.

Attach the supplied disc label only in the space designated for it on the disc. Do not stick it on any other disc surface.
