You can use the recorder on house current
or as follows.
• a nickel metal hydride rechargeable
battery NH-14WM
• LR6 (size AA) alkaline dry battery
(used with the supplied dry battery case)
It is preferable to use the recorder on
house current when recording for a long
time. When powering the recorder with
batteries, make sure the rechargeable
battery is fully charged or that the alkaline
dry battery is new to prevent battery
exhaustion in the middle of a recording
operation.

battery is weak, flashing
e or “LOW
BATT” appears in the display. Replace the
dry battery or charge the rechargeable
battery.
The battery level indicator is approximate.
It may be more or less than the indication
depending on the operating condition or
the operating environment.
Note
Stop the recorder before replacing the battery.
