Sony TCM-59V - Manual (Page 2)

Notes
• In some cases when the unit is used with rechargeable
batteries, only the ( О ) REC/BATT and ( О ) ВАТТ lamps
will light even though the batteries have been fully charged.
• After the batteries have been used for a while, the ВАТТ
lamp(s) may flash with the playback sound when you turn up
the volume; however, this does not mean that you need to
replace the batteries.
• The unit will play back normally for a while even after the
REC/BATT lamp dims. However, replace the batteries as soon
as you can. If you do not, a loud noise may be emitted by the
built-in speaker or subsequent recording will not be done
correctly.
