Getting started!
See the illustrations in English text (pages 12
and 16).
Charge the rechargeable battery before using.
Even if the rechargeable battery is not charged,
you can use the recorder as long as the AC
power adaptor is connected.
1 Insert the nickel metal hydride
rechargeable battery (NH-14WM) into
the recorder with the minus end first.
To use the recorder with an alkaline dry
battery, insert the dry battery into the
dry battery case and attach it to the
recorder.
2 Charging the rechargeable battery.
1Assemble the battery charging stand.
Make sure all the parts of the battery
charging stand are firmly attached.
2Connect the AC power adaptor to
the battery charging stand and the
AC adaptor to a wall outlet.
3Place the recorder on the battery
charging stand.
Verify that the CHARGE lamp lights
up. Full charging takes about six
hours. When it is completed, the
charge lamp goes off.
Do not operate the recorder when
you place it on the battery charging
stand or during the charging. If you
do so, it may cause the recorder to
malfunction or prevent the battery
from charging.
3 Connect the headphones/earphones with
the remote control to the recorder and
slide HOLD to unlock the control.
For models supplied with the AC plug
adaptor
If the AC power adaptor does not fit the wall
outlet, use the AC plug adaptor.
Notes on rechargeable battery
The supplied battery charging stand can be
used only with this recorder. Any other
models cannot be charged.
Do not use the supplied battery charging stand
to charge any other battery besides the
supplied one or the one designated for it (NH-
14WM).
Though the battery charging stand and the
battery may become hot during the charging
procedure, this poses no danger.
Be sure to use the supplied AC power adaptor.
If you are recharging the battery for the first
time or after a long period of disuse, the
battery may not charge up to its rated capacity.
This is a normal characteristic. After you use
and recharge the battery a few times, it will
return to its normal charge capacity.
When the battery life of a fully charged
rechargeable battery becomes about half the
normal life, replace it.
If the recorder will not be used for a long
period of time, disconnect the AC power
adaptor from a wall outlet and remove the
recorder from the battery charging stand.
Please note the following points when
charging the battery directly with the AC
power adaptor.
—If you press CHGx immediately after
charging has completed, charging will
begin again. If this happens, press CHGx
again to stop the charging operation since
the battery is already fully charged.
—Charging stops when you try to operate the
recorder during charging.
Notes on dry battery
Incorrect battery usage may lead to leakage of
battery fluid or bursting batteries. To prevent
such accidents, observe the following
precautions:
Insert the + and – poles of the battery
correctly.
Do not try to recharge the battery.
When the recorder is not be used for a long
time, be sure to remove the battery.
If a battery leak should develop, carefully and
thoroughly wipe away battery fluid from the
battery compartment before inserting new
ones.
