Remedy
• The IC recorder requires a certain amount of memory for system
operation. That amount is subtracted from the remaining time,
which is the reason for the difference.
• The battery life on page 136 is based on playback with the volume
level set to 20. The battery life may shorten depending on the
operation of the IC recorder.
• Even if you do not use the IC recorder, the batteries are consumed
slightly. If you do not intend to use the IC recorder for an
extended period of time, it is recommended that you turn the
power off (page 15) or remove the batteries. Moreover, if you set
"Auto Power Off" to a short span in the menu (page 107), you can
prevent the batteries from being consumed due to forgetting to
turn the IC recorder off.
• Once the batteries are fully charged, they are not recharged
automatically, even if you leave the IC recorder connected to the
USB AC adaptor. You can use the IC recorder while it is
connected to the USB AC adaptor, but charge it again after
disconnecting it.
• The environmental temperature is out of the range for charging.
Charge the batteries in an environment with a temperature of 5 °C
- 35 °C.
