Inserting batteries
Notes
• Manganese batteries may not be used in this recorder.
• Be sure to turn off the recorder before replacing the
batteries. Unloading the batteries while the recorder is in
use may cause a malfunction such as corrupting the file,
etc. If you take out the batteries while recording, you will
lose your currently recorded file because the file header
will not be able to close.
• If it takes longer than 15 minutes to replace the
dead batteries or if you take the batteries in and out
repeatedly at short intervals, you may have to
re-enter the battery and time settings.
• Remove the batteries if you are not going to use
the recorder for an extended period of time.
• When you are playing a file from the built-in
speaker, the recorder may turn off depending
on the volume level due to the reduced voltage
output of the batteries even if [
L] is displayed in
the battery indicator. In this case, lower the volume
of the recorder.
This recorder can be used with AA Alkaline Batteries.
