CAUTION
The DR-44WL cannot detect the remaining battery charge
of a BP-6AA. If you use a BP-6AA to operate the DR-44WL
without batteries in the recorder itself, the unit might stop
operating suddenly if the battery pack runs out of charge.
In order to avoid problems, put batteries with sufficient
charge into the DR-44WL before connecting and using a
BP-6AA.
