Cautions concerning the rechargeable
battery
Read the following descriptions carefully
before using the Ni-MH rechargeable
battery.
Discharging:
The rechargeable battery self-discharges
while not in use. Be sure to charge it fully
before use.
Operating temperature:
The rechargeable battery is a chemical
product. The efficiency of the rechargeable
battery may fluctuate even when
the battery is operating within the
recommended temperature range. This is an
inherent nature of such products.
Recommended temperature range:
When operating the recorder:
0°C - 42°C/ 32°F - 107.6°F
Charging:
5°C - 35°C/ 41°F - 95°F
Storage for a long period:
–20°C - 30°C/ –4°F - 86°F
Using the rechargeable battery outside
the above temperature range may result in
declining efficiency and a shorter battery
life. In order to prevent battery leakage or
rust, remove the rechargeable battery from
the recorder when you will not be using it
for a long time, and store it separately.
Notes
• This recorder is designed to fully charge
the battery regardless of its energy level.
However, for best results when charging
a newly purchased rechargeable battery
or a battery that has not been used for
a long time (more than one month), it
is recommended to repeat the process
of fully charging the battery and then
letting it discharge 2 to 3 times.
• Use the dedicated USB cable. If any other
company’s cable is used, it may lead to
malfunction of the recorder. Also, never
use this dedicated cable with any other
company’s products.
• If you would like to charge the recorder
using the [
Composite
] setting, select
[
Optional
] in the USB connection
settings, then connect the recorder to a
PC. Selecting [
AC Adapter
] in the
[

] display will enable you
to charge the recorder (
