Notes on rechargeable battery
• The supplied battery charging stand can be
used only with this recorder. Any other
models cannot be charged.
• Do not use the recorder 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.
• When a rechargeable battery is charged for
the first time or charged after a long period
of disuse, battery life may be shorter than
usual. Repeat discharging and recharging a
few times. The battery life should return to
normal. The rechargeable battery can be
recharged approximately 300 times.
• When the battery life of a fully charged
rechargeable battery becomes about half the
normal life, replace it.
• Make sure to remove the recorder from the
battery charging stand and disconnect the AC
power adaptor from the wall outlet as soon as
charging is complete. Keeping it connected to
the power source for a long time may reduce
the operating efficiency of the battery.
• Please note the following points when
charging the battery directly with the
supplied AC power adaptor.
— If you press x/CHG immediately after
charging has completed, charging will
begin again. In this case, press x/CHG
to stop the recorder because the battery is
already fully charged.
— Charging stops when you try to operate
the recorder during charging.
• If you remove the recorder from the battery
charging stand for more than 3 or 4 seconds
while it is charging, and then return it to the
stand, the CHARGE lamp will not go off until
approximately 6 hours later, no matter how
many hours the recorder had been on the
stand till then. Please note, however, that the
recorder will become full charged when the
total time on the stand (the time up until you
removed it and the time after you returned it
to the stand) reaches approximately 6 hours,
even if the CHARGE lamp does not go off.
Notes on dry battery
Incorrect battery usage may lead to leakage of
battery fluid or bursting batteries. To prevent
such accidents, observe the following
precautions :
• Insert the + and – poles of the battery
correctly.
• Do not try to recharge the battery.
• When the recorder is not be used for a long
time, be sure to remove the battery.
• If a battery leak should develop, carefully
and thoroughly wipe away battery fluid
from the battery compartment before
inserting new ones.
