Battery cannot be
charged.
Charge the battery within the
temperature range of 41 °F to 95 °F
(5 °C to 35 °C).
Otherwise, the charging may be
insufficient or may not start.
Battery life seems
short.
The operating temperature is below
41 °F (5 °C). This is due to the
battery characteristics and not a
malfunction.
The battery pack is discharged
automatically even when not in use.
It is recommended that you charge
the battery again before turning on
the Reader.
The battery needs to be replaced.
Change the battery to the optional
rechargeable battery pack (PRSA-
BP9).
The battery has not been given
enough time to charge fully.
Charge the battery until the charge/
busy indicator goes off. (The battery
icon does not indicate remaining
battery power during charging.)
The Reader plays tracks
continuously. If is displayed in the
status bar, tracks are played. Go to
the playback screen and stop
playback.

coverage area for a while, slide the
WIRELESS switch to OFF (
