BATT lamp
454VK only) when the
BATT lamp dims.
Notes
•After the batteries have been used for a while, the BATT lamp
may flicker with the playback sound when you turn up the
volume; however, this does not mean that you need to replace
the batteries.
•The unit will play back normally for a while even after the
BATT lamp dims. However, replace the batteries as soon as
you can. If you do not, subsequent recording will not be done
correctly.
