About the battery (optional)
The battery used in this unit is a rechargeable lithium-ion
battery. It is susceptible to humidity and temperature and
the effect increases the more the temperature rises or
falls. In cold areas, the full charge indication may not
appear or the low battery indication may appear about
5 minutes after starting use. At high temperatures, the
protection function may be triggered, making it
impossible to use the unit.
Be sure to detach the battery after use.
≥ If the battery is left attached, a minute amount of
current continues to flow even if the unit is off. Keeping
the unit in this state may result in over discharge of the
battery. This may result in you not being able to use
the battery even after it is charged.
≥ The battery should be stored in the vinyl bag so metal
does not come into contact with the terminals.
≥ The battery should be stored in a cool place free from
humidity, with as constant temperature as possible.
(Recommended temperature: 15 oC to 25 oC (59 oF to
77 oF), Recommended humidity: 40%RH to 60%RH)
≥ Extremely high temperatures or low temperatures will
shorten the life of the battery.
≥ If the battery is kept in high-temperature,
high-humidity, or oily-smoky places, the terminals may
rust and cause malfunctions.
≥ To store the battery for a long period of time, we
recommend you charge it once every year and store it
again after you have completely used up the charged
capacity.
≥ Dust and other matter attached to the battery terminals
should be removed.
Prepare spare batteries when going out for
recording.
≥ Prepare batteries enough to last for 3 to 4 times the
period you are planning to record for. Cold places such
as a ski resort can shorten recording time.
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if
the terminals are damaged.
≥ When this unit or battery charger is attached with the
terminal part in a deformed state, this unit or battery
charger may be damaged.
Do not throw old battery into fire.
≥ Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may result in
an explosion.
If the operating time is very short even after the
battery has been recharged, the battery has worn
out. Please purchase a new battery.
About the AC adaptor (supplied)/
battery charger (optional)
≥ If the temperature of the battery is extremely high or
extremely low, charging may take time or the battery
may not be charged.
≥ If the CHARGE indicators keeps flashing in orange,
make sure that the terminals of the battery or the
battery charger are not exposed to dirt, foreign objects
or dust, then reconnect them properly.
Disconnect the AC cable from the AC outlet when you
remove dirt, foreign objects or dust on the terminals of
the battery or the battery charger.
≥ If the battery's temperature is excessively high or
excessively low, the CHARGE indicators will blink
orange. Charging will start automatically when the
battery reaches an acceptable temperature for
charging.
≥ If the CHARGE indicators blinks orange when the
battery's temperature is normal, the battery or the
battery charger may be malfunctioning. In such cases,
contact your dealer.
≥ If you use the AC adaptor or battery charger near a
radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC
adaptor or battery charger 1 m (3.3 feet) or more away
from the radio.
≥ When using the AC adaptor or battery charger, it may
generate whirring sounds. However, this is normal.
≥ After use, be sure to disconnect the AC cable from the
AC outlet. (If you leave this unit connected, the AC
adaptor will consume approximately 0.1 W.)
≥ Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor, battery
charger and battery clean.
≥ Install the device near an AC outlet so that the
power disconnection device (AC mains plug) can
be accessed easily by hand.
After use, remove the battery or unplug the power
cord from the outlet.
