To use the recorder with an alkaline dry
battery, insert the dry battery into the
dry battery case and attach it to the
recorder.

charging stand are firmly attached.

Full charging takes about six hours.
When it is completed, the charge lamp
goes off.

place it on the battery charging stand or
during the charging. If you do so, it may
cause the recorder malfunction or
prevent the battery from charging.

the remote control to the recorder and

Notes
• The supplied battery charging stand can be
used only with this recorder. Any other
models cannot be charged.
• Do not use the supplied battery charging
stand to charge any other battery besides the
supplied one or the one designated for it
(NH-14WM).
• Though the battery charging stand and the
battery may become hot during the charging
procedure, this poses no danger.
• Be sure to use the supplied AC power adaptor.
• If you are recharging the battery for the first
time or after a long period of disuse, the
battery may not charge up to its rated
capacity. This is a normal characteristic.
After you use and recharge the battery a few
times, it will return to its normal charge
capacity.
• When the battery life of a fully charged
rechargeable battery becomes about half the
normal life, replace it.
• If the recorder will not be used for a long
period of time, disconnect the AC power
adaptor from a wall outlet and remove the
recorder from the battery charging stand.
• Please note the following points when
charging the battery directly with the AC
power adaptor.
— If you press CHGx immediately after
charging has completed, charging will
begin again. If this happens, press
CHGx again to stop the charging
operation since the battery is already
fully charged.
— Charging stops when you try to operate
the recorder during charging.
