zGetting Started
Step1: Installing the
Batteries
See the illustrations on page 8 in
the Japanese instruction manual.
1 Slide and lift the battery
compartment lid.
2 Insert two size AAA (LR03)
alkaline batteries with correct
polarity, and close the lid.
Note
• If the battery compartment lid is
accidentally detached, attach it as
illustrated on page 8 in the Japanese
instruction manual.
Clock setting display appears
when you insert batteries for the
first time, or when you insert
batteries after the unit has been
without batteries for a certain
period of time. Please refer to Step
2 – 4 in “Step 2: Setting the Clock”
on the next page to set the date and
time.
Note
• Make sure to close the lid
completely. Otherwise the unit will
not operate.
Charging the clock battery
Before using the IC recorder for the
first time, or if you have not used
the unit for a long time, you first
need to charge the built-in clock
battery. Install the batteries in the
battery compartment and leave
them for more than one day. The
clock battery will be automatically
charged. (You can use the unit
while charging.) If you remove the
batteries while charging the clock
battery, the unit will be reset to the
initial setting. Once you have
charged the clock battery, you do
not have to recharge it, as long as
batteries are installed. When the
clock battery is recharged, settings
such as clock setting are
maintained for about 3 minutes.
Replacing the battery
“i “ appears on the display when
the batteries become weak and it
flashes when the batteries are
exhausted. Replace the batteries
with new ones.
Battery life
Approx. 1.5 months with Sony
alkaline batteries LR03 (SG)
when recording in LIGHT OPR
mode for 2 minutes and playing
back for 3 minutes every day
Notes
• When you replace the batteries,
insert new batteries within 3
minutes after you removed the
exhausted ones, otherwise all the
settings you have made will be
reset to the initial settings.
The recorded messages, however,
will remain.
• When replacing the batteries, be
sure to replace both batteries with
new ones.
• Do not charge dry batteries.
• When you are not going to use the
unit for a long time, remove the
batteries to prevent damage from
battery leakage and corrosion.
