Notes

When the rechargeable battery is being charged, the charging will stop when you operate the recorder.

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.

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

When operating the recorder with a dry battery, make sure it is an alkaline type. Use of another type may result in shorter battery life or cause a deterioration in the performance of the rechargeable battery being used in conjunction with the dry battery.

When to charge the rechargeable battery or replace the dry battery

You can check the battery condition on the display window of the recorder.
