≥ Extremely high temperatures or low temperatures will shorten the life of the battery. ≥ If the battery is kept in high-temperature, high-humidity, or oily-smoky places, the terminals may rust and cause malfunctions. ≥ To store the battery for a long period of time, we recommend you charge it once every year and store it again after you have completely used up the charged capacity. ≥ Dust and other matter attached to the battery terminals should be removed. Prepare spare batteries when going out for recording. ≥ Prepare batteries enough to last for 3 to 4 times the period you are planning to record for. Cold places such as a ski resort can shorten recording time. If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the terminals are damaged. ≥ When this unit or battery charger is attached with the terminal part in a deformed state, this unit or battery charger may be damaged. Do not throw old battery into fire. ≥ Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may result in an explosion. If the operating time is very short even after the battery has been recharged, the battery has worn out. Please purchase a new battery. About the AC adaptor/battery charger ≥ If the temperature of the battery is extremely high or extremely low, charging may take time or the battery may not be charged. ≥ If the CHARGE indicators keeps flashing in orange, make sure that the terminals of the battery or the battery charger are not exposed to dirt, foreign objects or dust, then reconnect them properly. Disconnect the AC cable from the AC outlet when you remove dirt, foreign objects or dust on the terminals of the battery or the battery charger. ≥ If the battery's temperature is excessively high or excessively low, the CHARGE indicators will blink orange. Charging will start automatically when the battery reaches an acceptable temperature for charging. ≥ If the CHARGE indicators blinks orange when the battery's temperature is normal, the battery or the battery charger may be malfunctioning. In such cases, contact your dealer. ≥ If you use the AC adaptor or battery charger near a radio, radio reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC adaptor or battery charger 1 m (3.3 feet) or more away from the radio. ≥ When using the AC adaptor or battery charger, it may generate whirring sounds. However, this is normal. ≥ After use, be sure to disconnect the AC cable from the AC outlet. (If you leave this unit connected, the AC adaptor will consume approximately 0.1 W.) ≥ Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor, battery charger and battery clean. ≥ Install the device near an AC outlet so that the power disconnection device (AC mains plug) can be accessed easily by hand. About the SD card When disposing of or giving away the SD card, note that: ≥ Formatting and deletion of this unit or computer only changes the file management information and does not completely delete the data in the SD card. ≥ It is recommended that the main SD card is either physically destroyed or the SD card is physically formatted using this unit when disposing of or giving away the SD card. 8 DVQX1101 (ENG)
