Getting 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

4 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.

Step 2: Setting the
