Important note about the memory
and the power supply
To preserve the contents of the memory, ensure
the unit has a constant supply of power.
≥
Turn the unit off before changing the batteries and
before connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.
≥
The unit can maintain the memory without power
for about one minute. Change batteries or recon-
nect the AC adaptor within this time.
≥
As a precaution, insert batteries even when using
the AC adaptor or car adaptor.
Note
!
≥
Rechargeable batteries have a service life of approxi-
mately 300 charge-discharge cycles. The batteries
have reached the end of their operational life if they
last for a noticeably shorter time after recharging, or if
they cannot be recharged at all. Replace the batteries.
≥
Recharging may only be performed when the unit is
powered off.
≥
The AC adaptor and rechargeable batteries may be-
come warm while recharging is in progress. This is not
a malfunction.
≥
Leaving the AC adaptor connected can cause the bat-
teries to go flat. After recharging the batteries and dis-
connecting the AC adaptor from the household AC
outlet, ensure you disconnect the AC adaptor from the
unit’s [DC IN 4.5 V
K
] terminal.

Note
!
≥
The length of time the unit will continue to operate be-
tween when the battery indicator starts flashing and
when the power is cut off differs depending on the
type of batteries used.
≥
The battery indicator may not be displayed if recharge-
able batteries other than those designated by
Panasonic are used.
