10–Settings and Information
Values: Li-Ion (lithium ion battery), AA
CAUTION
The power turns off if the backup battery source does
not have enough charge. In this case, all recordings,
settings and other data will be lost.
Changing batteries when the
power is on
If both the lithium ion battery and AA batteries
are installed, you can change batteries while
continuing to record and use other functions.
NOTE
In the following sections, for simplicity we refer to the
main "battery" and backup "battery," even though the
unit uses two AA batteries. Both AA batteries should
be changed together.
Changing the main battery
Before changing the main battery, confirm that
its charge has become low enough that power has
switched to the backup battery.
The unit turns OFF if you remove the main
battery while it is being used.
If you must change the main battery even though
it is in use, change the setting so that the backup
battery becomes the main battery and confirm this
operation on the Home Screen first.
Confirm that the replaced battery is installed
properly before changing the unit setting to make
it the main battery.
CAUTION
If the backup battery charge becomes less than a
certain level, you can change the MAIN setting.
However, the power source does not change while
the unit is recording.
Changing the backup battery
You can change the backup battery at any time
when the main battery is in use, but you should
confirm on the Home Screen that the main battery
has enough remaining charge.
The unit turns OFF if you remove the backup
battery while it is being used.
Setting the type of AA batteries
(AA BATTERY)
You should set the type of AA batteries that you
are using. This setting is used to show the amount
of remaining battery charge and determine if the
unit has enough power for normal operation.
