Notes • Charge the battery often for first few uses. Battery performs better after several full charge/discharge cycles. • Batteries other than the supplied battery cannot be charged. • If you charge the battery right after charging is complete, it will take only few minutes to charge the battery. • The PC must be ON when charging battery via the USB cable connection. • Charging battery via the USB cable connection may not be successful depending on the power supply capacity of your PC. Use the AC adapter instead. • If you change the recorder to AUDIO device while charging battery only via the USB cable connection, charging may stop. • Do not set or remove the recorder from the cradle while it is in operation. 15
