Notes
When you want to verify the remaining charge of the internal battery, be sure that the drive is not
connected to the AC power adapter. When the drive is connected to the AC power adapter, the remaining
charge indicator does not appear on the remote control display.
The remaining charge indicator is only a gauge. It is not meant to accurately reflect the remaining charge
of the internal battery. (In other words, one bar does not represent a quarter of the internal battery
charge).
The remaining charge indicator may change depending on the operating status of the drive.
