Rechargeable battery
operating time
After charging is complete, the unit can be
used continuously as follows:
Continuous playback:
Approx. 9.5 hours (fully charged, vol-
ume level: VOL 20)
Continuous recording:
Approx. 7 hours (fully charged, anal-
ogue input, volume level: VOL 0)
How to determine the remaining
battery time:
As the battery charge is reduced, the bars
in the indicator will go out one by one.
When the battery is almost completely ex-
hausted, the whole battery indicator will
flash.
At this point you should recharge the bat-
tery.
When the battery has run completely out,
“BATT EMPTY” will be displayed, and the
power will be disconnected automatically.
When the AC adaptor is used, the bat-
tery indicator will light up in the fully
charged condition.
Note:
If the battery indicator is flashing, it will be
impossible to start recording or editing.
Notes about the
rechargeable battery
A rechargeable lithium-ion battery is
the only kind that can be used.
Even if the battery supplied with the
unit is not used, you should charge it at
least once every three months because
of the special quality of this battery.
The rechargeable battery can be
charged approximately 300 times.
Do not use any battery other than that
specified. Use of other batteries may
cause malfunctions.
When the operating time is reduced to
about half the normal amount of time,
even after a full charge is performed,
replace the battery with a new one.
When charging or when using the re-
chargeable battery, use it within an am-
bient temperature range of 5
C
to
35
°
