Checking the remaining amount of bat-
tery level
The remaining amount of battery level is shown by the
battery indicator ( ) during operation.
When the battery is completely discharged, the bat-
tery indicator will flash. Recharge the battery or
replace the alkaline battery with a new one.
When the battery has run completely out, "BATT
EMPTY" will appear. Then, the power will be discon-
nected automatically.
Notes:
If you use the battery which you stopped charging
halfway, " " may appear. It does not mean that the
battery is completely charged.
The battery indicator will not correctly display the
remaining capacity for approximately 10 seconds after
the power has been turned on.
When the AC adaptor or a separately available car
adaptor is used, the battery indicator will not be
shown.
The number of bars shown in the battery indicator may
increase or decrease, depending on the operation
being performed. This is normal.
Charging the rechargeable battery
When the rechargeable battery is used for the first time
or when you want to use it after a long period of disuse,
be sure to charge it fully.
1
Insert the rechargeable battery.
A rechargeable battery other than the one supplied
or the optional one (AD-N70BT) cannot be charged.

then insert the plug on the other end into
the DC IN 5V jack.

" " will flash, and battery will begin charging.
After the rechargeable battery is charged or used, it
will get slightly warm. This is normal.

Using with the rechargeable or alkaline
battery
1
Disconnect the AC adaptor.
2
Insert the rechargeable bat-
tery or alkaline battery from
the (+) marked side.
Use a commercially available LR6,
"AA" size alkaline battery.
Notes:
Setting the volume level to "0" whilst recording with the
rechargeable or an alkaline battery reduces the bat-
tery drain.
When you do not use the unit for hours, remove the
battery. (The battery drains gradually even when the
power is turned off.)
Carry the battery in the supplied case.
(Except for MD-MT80W)
This unit can be used with the AC adaptor when the
rechargeable or an alkaline battery is in the unit.
Caution:
Do not use a nickel-cadmium battery.
