About the Built-in Rechargeable
Battery
The unit is provided with a rechargeable battery that
retains the date/time and various settings regardless of
power-on and power-off. The rechargeable battery is
charged as long as the unit is operated. If the period of
operating the unit is short, the battery discharges
gradually and if it is not used at all for approximately 3
months, the battery will discharge completely. If that
case, charge the battery and then start using the unit. If
you do not need to record the date and time when the
rechargeable battery is not fully charged, you can use
the unit in this state.
Charging the rechargeable battery
Connect the unit to an AC output using the power cord
for about 24 hours. (The unit does not need to be
turned on.)
