Alkaline or Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries.
Please select the correct battery type you are using from
the Battery Type option in the Device Settings Menu.
Safety Cautions When Handling
Batteries
To avoid leakage, overheating, fire and rupturing, always
follow the points below when using batteries with the
recorder.
• Electrolyte leakage or corrosion may occur if
batteries are kept inside the recorder for prolonged
periods of time. Remove batteries prior to prolonged
storage of the recorder.
• When installing batteries into the recorder, make
sure the batteries are installed with the proper
polarity shown inside the battery compartment of
the recorder.
• Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable
batteries. See Setting Battery Type.
• Do not install old/exhausted batteries into the
recorder. Dispose of old batteries properly.
• Do not mix the types (Alkaline or Ni-MH) or voltages
of batteries.
With improper battery use, batteries may rupture, leak,
and cause corrosion. Please read the following guidelines
carefully:
Please match the polarity of the battery (+/ -) with the
polarity indication on the remote controller.
Batteries may have the same shape, but different
voltages. Do not mix different battery types.
If a battery leaks, clean the liquid from the battery
compartment and dispose of the leaking battery
according to the guidelines of your local government.
Please dispose of all used batteries according to the
guidelines of your local government.
