• If during operation the recorder stops with "LOW BATT" in the display, charge the rechargeable battery. You may be able to operate the recorder for a while without charging, however, if you operate the recorder until the rechargeable battery is completely discharged, you may not be able to recharge it again by placing the recorder on the USB cradle. If this happens, remove the battery from the recorder once, then reinsert it before placing the recorder on the USB cradle. • Please note the following points when charging the battery directly with the AC power adaptor. -If you flip the control bar towards xCHG immediately after charging has completed, charging will begin again. If this happens, flip the bar towards xCHG again to stop the charging operation since the battery is already fully charged. -Charging stops when you try to operate the recorder during charging.
