Remedy
• The battery life on page 100 is based on playback with the volume
level set to 16. The battery life may shorten depending on the
operation of the PCM recorder.
• Even if you do not use the PCM recorder, the batteries are
consumed slightly. The battery life in this case varies depending on
humidity or other environmental conditions. Usually, the batteries
last about 4 months. If you do not intend to use the PCM recorder
for an extended period of time, it is recommended that you turn the
power off diligently or remove the batteries (page 16).
• You are using the rechargeable batteries in an environment with a
temperature of under 5 °C. Charge the batteries in an environment
with a temperature of 5 °C - 35 °C.
• The PCM recorder has not been used for a certain time. Charge
and discharge the rechargeable batteries using the PCM recorder
several times.
• Replace the old ones with new rechargeable batteries.
• Since the memory card may contain image data or other files, the
memory required for creating initial folders is insufficient. Use
Windows Explorer or other tools to delete unwanted files or
initialize the memory card on the PCM recorder (page 30).
• Select "Memory Card" for the "Memory" item of the menu
(page 36).
• Remove a memory card and check the side of the memory card.
Then insert it with correct side and direction (page 37).
• The PCM recorder cannot support or display some special
characters and symbols that are entered on a computer using
Windows Explorer or the Macintosh desktop.
