The battery used in this unit is a
rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It is
susceptible to humidity and temperature
and the effect increases the more the
temperature rises or falls. In cold areas,
the full charge indication may not appear
or the low battery indication may appear
about 5 minutes after starting use. At
high temperatures, the protection
function may be triggered, making it
impossible to use the unit.
Be sure to detach the battery after
use.
If the battery is left inserted, a minute
amount of current continues to flow
even if the unit’s power is off. Keeping
the unit in this state may result in over
discharge of the battery. The battery
may become unusable after it is
charged.
The battery should be stored in the
vinyl bag so metal does not come into
contact with the terminals.
The battery should be stored in a cool
place free from humidity, with as
constant temperature as possible.
(Recommended temperature: 15 oC to
25 oC, Recommended humidity: 40%
to 60%)
Extremely high temperatures or low
temperatures will shorten the life of the
battery.
If the battery is kept in high-
temperature, high-humidity or oily-
smoky places, the terminals may rust
and cause malfunctions.
To store the battery for a long period of
time, we recommend you charge it
once every year and store it again after
you have completely used up the
charged capacity.
Dust and other matter attached to the
battery terminals should be removed.
Prepare spare batteries when going
out for recording.
Charge batteries enough to last for 3 to
4 times the period during you want to
