Notes on the DICT/BATT lamp
• BM-577 only: In some cases when the unit is used with rechargeable
batteries, only the DICT/BATT ( □ ) and ВАТТ ( ÇÇ ) lamps will light
even though the batteries have been fully charged.
• After the batteries have been used for a while, the DICT/BATT lamp may
flicker with the playback sound when you turn up the volume; however,
this does not mean that you need to change the batteries.
• The unit will play back normally for a while even after the DICT/ВАТТ
lamp dims. However, replace the batteries as soon as you can. If you do
not, subsequent recording will not be done correctly.
Notes on batteries
• Do not charge a dry battery.
• Do not use a new battery with an old one.
• Do not use different types of batteries.
• When you do not use the unit for a long time, remove the batteries to
avoid any damage caused by battery leakage and subsequent corrosion.
• Dry batteries will not be expended when another power source is
connected.
