When appears on the display, replace the battery as soon as
possible.
When the battery is too weak, the recorder shuts down and “Battery

Notes
• Be sure to stop the recorder before replacing the battery. Unloading the battery while the recorder is in use
may corrupt the file. If you are recording into a file and the battery runs out, you will lose your currently
recorded file because the file header will not be able to close. It is crucial to change the battery once you
see only one hash mark in the battery indicator.
• If it takes longer than 1 hour to replace the dead battery or if you take the battery in and out repeatedly at
short intervals, you may have to reset the time when you have loaded a fresh battery ((cid:2) P.12).
• Remove the battery if you are not going to use the recorder for an extended period of time.
