Troubleshooting

If a problem occurs during recorder operation, follow the steps described below before

consulting the nearest Sony dealer. If any messages appear, it is recommended to take

notes.

Check “Messages” (page 85) for the problem as well.

While charging

Symptom

Cause/Solution

The rechargeable

battery does not

start charging. The

rechargeable battery

cannot be fully

charged.

• The rechargeable battery or the dry battery has been inserted

incorrectly or the AC power adaptor has been connected

incorrectly.

Insert the battery correctly or connect the AC power adaptor

correctly.

• The terminals of the battery charging stand is dirty.

Clean the terminals with a dry cloth.

• Because of the battery’s characteristics, the capacity of the

rechargeable battery may be smaller than normal when it is used

for the first time or after a long period of disuse.

Charge and discharge the battery several times. The normal

battery life will be restored.

• The rechargeable battery is drained (nothing appears in the

display window).

Charge the rechargeable battery. It takes one minute after

placing the recorder on the battery charging stand for an

indication to appear and charging to start. If charging does not

start even after a minute, replace the recorder on the battery

charging stand again.

The rechargeable

battery has become

drained even when

the recorder was not

used for a while.

• The quick mode was set to “QUICK”.

If you set the quick mode to “QUICK”, the power stays on

inside recorder even when there is no operation, causing the

battery life to shorten. If the battery is not fully charged, the

rechargeable battery may become drained after a while. If this

happens, charge the rechargeable battery again (page 63).

Even when fully

charged, the life of

the battery is only

about half what it

normally is.

• The useful life of the rechargeable battery may be ending.

Replace the rechargeable battery with the new one.
