Notes on the AC power adaptor
Use only the supplied AC

Notes
• During charging and refreshing, the rechargeable
batteries and the battery charger may emit some
heat, but this is not a malfunction. Note that the
temperature is higher right after charging finishes. It
is recommended that you wait for a while before
removing the batteries.
• Use only the supplied battery charger. Using any
other charger may cause a malfunction.
• The batteries cannot be charged with the recorder
only without using the battery charger.
• Do not use a dry battery and a rechargeable battery
together.
• The recorder is accessing memory while
“ACCESSING MEMORY” appears in the display or
the ACCESS indicator flashes. During this time, do
not remove or insert batteries and do not
disconnect or connect the AC power adaptor, or the
USB cable. Doing so may damage the data.
• Because of the battery’s characteristics, the
capacity of the rechargeable batteries may be
smaller than normal when they are used for the first
time or after a long period of disuse. In this case,
charge and discharge them several times. The
normal battery life will be restored.
• If the life of the rechargeable batteries drops to half
the normal length, the batteries should be replaced.
