Notes on a rechargeable battery
•
When you use the battery for the first
time or after a long period of disuse, the
battery life may be shorter. In this case,
charge and discharge the battery several
times. The battery life will be restored.
•
If the rechargeable battery capacity
becomes half the normal life, replace it
with a new one.
Notes on dry batteries
Incorrect battery usage may lead to
leakage of battery fluid or bursting
batteries. To prevent such accidents,
observe the following precautions:
•
Install the + and – poles of the batteries
correctly.
•
Do not install new and used batteries or
different kinds of batteries together.
•
Do not try to recharge the batteries.
•
When the recorder is not to be used for
a long time, be sure to remove the
batteries.
•
If a battery leak should develop,
carefully and thoroughly wipe away
battery fluid from the battery
compartment before inserting new ones.
