Notes
•During charging and refreshing, the rechargeable batteries and the battery charger may emit some heat, but this is not a malfunction. Note that the temperature is higher right after charging finishes. It is recommended that you wait for a while before removing the batteries.
•Use only the supplied battery charger. Using any other charger may cause a malfunction.
•The batteries cannot be charged with the recorder only without using the battery charger.
•Do not use a dry battery and a rechargeable battery together.
•The recorder is accessing memory while “ACCESSING MEMORY” appears in the display or the ACCESS indicator flashes. During this time, do not remove or insert batteries and do not disconnect or connect the AC power adaptor, or the USB cable. Doing so may damage the data.
•Because of the battery’s characteristics, the capacity of the rechargeable batteries may be smaller than normal when they are used for the first time or after a long period of disuse. In this case, charge and discharge them several times. The normal battery life will be restored.
•If the life of the rechargeable batteries drops to half the normal length, the batteries should be replaced.
