Battery power
The PMD670 can operate on several types of
battery power.
Hint:
Keep fully charged batteries in the PMD670
when recording using AC power. Otherwise if AC
power is interrupted, as much as 30 minutes of
your recording could be lost.
Eight AA alkaline batteries and the supplied
battery carrier can be used. Alkaline batteries
can power recording or playback for about *6
hours.
AA size rechargeable Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries
can be used in the supplied battery carrier, but
those cannot be recharged with the PMD670's
built in charger.
An optional Ni-Cd battery model RB1100 can be
charged in the PMD670. The RB1100 can also
be charged with an optional charger model
BC600. Ni-Cd batteries can power recording or
playback for about *5 hours.
An optional Ni-MH (Nickel metal hydride) battery
model RB1650 can be used, but cannot be
recharged with the PMD670's built-in charger. It
requires charger model BC600. Ni-MH batteries
can power recording or playback for about *7
hours.
