Installing Batteries
Notes
• Be sure to turn OFF the recorder before replacing
the batteries. Removing the batteries while the recorder
is in use may corrupt the card. If you are recording into
a file and the batteries run out, you will lose your
currently recorded file since the file header will not be
written. It is crucial to replace the batteries when one
hash mark in shown in the battery icon.
• Be sure to replace both batteries at the same time.
• Never mix old and new batteries, or batteries of
different types and/or brands.
• If it takes longer than 1 minute to replace dead batteries,
you may have to reset the time when you load new
batteries.
• Remove the batteries if you are not going to use the
recorder for an extended period of time.
Cautions Concerning the Battery
Warning
• Using batteries for which part or all
of the external coating (insulating
sheath) is peeling off or batteries
which have ruptured may cause fluid
leaks, overheating, and explosions.
For this reason such batteries should
absolutely not be used.
• Commercially available batteries for
which part or all of the external
coating (insulation sheath) has been
peeled off should absolutely not be
used.
Unusable batteries
Batteries for which the entire external coating
(insulating sheath) is peeled off (naked batteries),
or those where it has partially been peeled off.
