Low Battery Warning and
Auto Power Off
The PMD690 has built-in power management and
emergency shut-down system when batteries are used.
To make sure this system operates correctly, make sure
the battery preset ("bat") in the preset menu is set
correctly. Please refer to page 9 for more information on
how to set the presets.
1st Warning
When the remaining battery time starts running low, a 1st
warning will appear. The 1st warning is when the low
battery indicator appears in the display as follows.
After the 1st warning appears, the battery has
approximately 5 to 10 minutes of total record or playback
time remaining.
2nd Warning
When the remaining battery time becomes extremely
low, the 2nd warning will appear. The 2nd warning is
when the battery indicator begins to flash as indicated in
the diagram below.
After the second warning appears, the battery has
approximately 1 to 3 minutes of recording or playback
time remaining.
Note
If the alarm preset [" "] is set ON, the PMD690 will
audibly beep to alert that the batteries life is nearing an
end.
When recording from microphone (INPUT switch position
is at MIC), beep sounds only from headphone, not from
speaker.
Shut-Down
If the unit continues to operate after the 2nd warning
appears, the unit will enter an automatic shut-down
procedure before all power is lost. Recording or playback
will stop and the unit will automatically power itself off.
