z You can also charge the rechargeable battery by connecting the AC power adaptor directly to the recorder. Connect the AC power adaptor to DC IN 3V on the recorder, and then press x/CHG while the recorder is stopped. "Charging" and e appear in the display and charging starts. Full charging takes about 3 hours. Charging is complete when e disappears. Charging time may vary depending on the battery condition. Notes • The supplied battery charging stand can be used only with this recorder. Any other model cannot be charged. • Do not use the recorder to charge any other battery besides the supplied one or the one designated for it (NC-WMAA). • 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. • 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 after "LOW BATT" has appeared. 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 battery charging stand. If this happens, remove the battery from the recorder once, then reinsert it before placing the recorder on the battery charging stand. • Please note the following points when charging the battery: -If you press x/CHG immediately after charging has completed, charging will begin again. If this happens, press x/CHG again to stop the charging operation since the battery is already fully charged. -Charging stops when you try to operate the recorder during charging.
