contains rechargeable batteries. Battery performance is maintained when recharging takes
place when the battery is almost empty. This can be seen on the recorder when the LED on
the front lights up in red. This is the best time for recharging the battery pack. After the light
has turned red you have still enough power for about ten minutes of recording.
