Getting started
Battery indicator
As the batteries lose their remaining
charge, the battery indicator on the display
changes as follows:
• [ ] indicates there is little remaining
battery charge. Charge the batteries
or replace them with fresh ones. When
the batteries have run out, [ ] and
[ Battery low ] appear, and operation
stops.
Rechargeable batteries
Read the information below carefully when
using nickel-metal hydride rechargeable
batteries (model BR404).
4
Discharging
Rechargeable batteries discharge naturally
when not in use. Be sure to charge the
batteries before use.
4
Operating temperature
Rechargeable batteries are chemical-
based products. Their performance
can vary even when used within the
recommended operating temperature
range. This variation is normal.

Recommended temperature
ranges
When powering voice recorder: 0 to
42°C (32 to 107.6°F)
When being charged: 5 to 35°C (41 to
95°F)
During long-term storage: −20 to 30°C
(−4 to 86°F)
Use of rechargeable batteries outside
the temperature ranges above may result
in drops in battery performance or life.
When not using the voice recorder for an
extended period, remove the rechargeable
batteries before storage to prevent fluid
leakage or rust.
4
Disposal
Always dispose rechargeable batteries
in the legally prescribed manner. Before
disposing rechargeable batteries that are
not fully discharged, take steps to prevent
shorting such as insulating their terminals
with tape.
NOTE
• Due to the nature of nickel-metal
hydride rechargeable batteries, new
batteries and batteries not used for
an extended period (one month or
more) may not charge completely.
The batteries should become
fully charged after charging and
discharging the batteries up to three
times.
• When buying rechargeable batteries,
always select model BR404 nickel-
metal hydride rechargeable batteries.
Operation is not guaranteed if
batteries from another manufacturer
are used.
• The continuous battery usage time of
a nickel-metal hydride rechargeable
battery that has been used
repeatedly will be reduced due to
battery degradation (
