Preparation
Notes on battery
• A durable alkaline battery or economical nickel-metal hydride rechargeable battery is
recommended.
• Battery life may depend on the type of the battery or the operating condition such as
storage conditions, storing, using, surrounding temperature, etc.
• If you do not use the player for a long period of time (for longer than one week),
remove the battery to avoid possible damage from battery corrosion.
• A very small amount of battery life will be consumed even while the player is turned
off.
Notes on battery indicator
• The battery consumption indicator will display when using the player. (page 45)
• When using nickel-metal hydride rechargeable battery, the battery indicator on the
player may not correspond to actual battery consumption.
• If an exhausted battery is used, the battery indicator on the player may read full when
you turn the player on. However the player will turn off the moment you begin
operating it.
Notes on battery changing
Load a new battery more than 30 seconds after removing the old one. If failed to do so,
the battery consumption indicator may keep displaying the status before battery
changing.
Close the battery cover.
