Notes
• Do not use the recorder to charge any other
battery besides the supplied one or the one
designated for it (NC-WMAA).
• Though the battery may become hot during
the charging procedure, this poses no danger.
• Be sure to use the supplied AC power adaptor.
• If you are recharging the battery for the first
time or after a long period of disuse, the
battery may not charge up to its rated capacity.
This is a normal characteristic. After you use
and recharge the battery a few times, it will
return to its normal charge capacity.
• When the battery life of a fully charged
rechargeable battery becomes about half the
normal life, replace it.
• If the recorder will not be used for a long
period of time, disconnect the AC power
adaptor from a wall outlet.
• If during operation the recorder stops with
“LoBATT” in the display, charge the
rechargeable battery. You may be able to
operate the recorder for a while after
“LoBATT” has appeared. However, if you
operate the recorder until the rechargeable
battery is completely discharged, you may not
be able to recharge the rechargeable battery
again. If this happens, remove the
rechargeable battery from the recorder once,
then reinsert it before charging.
• Please note the following points when
charging the battery:
—If you press x/CHARGE immediately after
charging has completed, charging will
begin again. If this happens, press x/
CHARGE again to stop the charging
operation since the battery is already fully
charged.
—Charging stops when you try to operate the
recorder during charging.
