Cautions
Rechargeable batteries
• Only the BN-R1211 battery can be recharged.
• If the power delivered by the batteries lasts for a very short
time after recharging, it means that the batteries’ service life
is over. Do not use them any more.
• Recharging already charged batteries will shorten their service life.
• When recharging batteries for the first time or when they have
not been used for a long period of time, the play time may be
shorter than usual. In a case like this, repeatedly recharge
and discharge the batteries. This will restore them to their
regular state.
• Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals of
rechargeable batteries since this may cause short-circuiting
which is dangerous.
• Do not peel off the plastic covering on the rechargeable
batteries. Short-circuiting may occur which is dangerous.
Dry cell batteries/rechargeable
batteries
To prevent damage to the batteries and electrolyte leakage,
heed the following points.

new batteries.
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a

Carrying dry cell batteries/
rechargeable batteries around
When putting dry cell or rechargeable batteries in a pocket or

placed together with them. Contact with metal may cause
short-circuiting which, in turn, may cause a fire.
