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.

and stops recording in sync with the sound source. Track marks are

added wherever they appear in the sound source. It is recommended to

use the AC power adaptor when recording.

To record from an analog source such as a cassette deck or a radio t “Recording in analog
