This device runs on the internal battery. As the internal battery discharges, the BATT lamp shows the internal battery status as follow:

On (not flashing) → Flashing on and off slowly → Flashing on and off rapidly → Off

If the internal battery has run out, the BATT lamp goes out, a “No battery power remaining” message appears on the display window, and then this device goes into standby mode. If the internal battery has run out during playback or downloading, it pauses.

Notes

When the “No battery power remaining” message appears on the display window, this device does not accept any operations except pressing the (POWER) button.

The internal battery lasts about four hours (based on the measurement method of Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA)). However, battery life depends on use.
