• It takes approximately 2 hours to recharge the rechargeable battery.
• The rechargeable battery has a service life of approximately 300 charge-discharge cycles. If
the operating time on one full charge becomes noticeably shorter than it used to be, the bat-
tery has reached the end of its service life and should be replaced.
• The AC adaptor and rechargeable battery may become warm while recharging. This is not a
malfunction.
• When recharging the rechargeable battery which was left unused for a long time, the charge
indicator may not light immediately. It will light in a few minutes.

Cautions
Batteries
• Before replacing batteries, always turn the minidisc player off.
Rechargeable Ni - MH battery :
• Use only the rechargeable battery BN-R1210 (supplied) or BN-R127 (not supplied) with this
minidisc player.
• If the power delivered by the battery lasts for a very short time after recharging, it means
that the battery’s service life is over. Do not use it any more.
• Recharging an already charged battery will shorten its service life.
• When recharging a battery for the first time, or when it has not been used for a long period
of time, the play time may be shorter than usual. In a case like this, repeatedly recharge and
discharge the battery. This will restore it to its regular state.
• Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals of the rechargeable battery because
this may cause dangerous short-circuiting.
• Recharge the battery at a temperature of 10°C to 35°C.
Dry cell battery and rechargeable battery:
To prevent damage to the batteries, and to avoid electrolyte leakage, heed the following instructions.
• Align the ª and · polarities properly when inserting the batteries.
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the minidisc player for a long period of time.
• Do not expose the batteries to open flame, and do not short-circuit, disassemble, or subject
them to excessive heat.
• Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.
Carrying batteries:
• When putting dry cell or rechargeable batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure that no other metal
objects, such as necklaces or coins, are placed together with them. Contact with metal may
cause short-circuiting which, in turn, may cause a fire.
• Be absolutely sure to carry the rechargeable battery in the battery carrying case.
Recycling Notice
The rechargeable battery is designated recyclable.
Please follow your local recycling regulations.
AC adaptor and charger/adaptor
• Handle the AC adaptor and charger/adaptor carefully. Improper handling is dangerous.
• Do not touch them with wet hands.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of them.
• Do not forcibly bend them.
• Be sure to use only the AC adaptor and charger/adaptor provided with this minidisc player.

long time.
