declining efficiency and shorter battery life.
In order to prevent battery leakage or rust,
remove the rechargeable batteries from the
products when you will not be using them
for a long time, and store them separately.
Be sure to use the included dedicated
USB cable. If any other company’s cable
is used, it may lead to malfunction of the
recorder. Also, never use this dedicated
cable with any other company’s products.
Selecting [Composite] in the USB
connection settings will prevent the
recorder to charge via USB. Select
[Storage class] in the USB connection
settings if you would like to charge
(☞ P.76).
In case you would like to charge using
the [Composite] setting, select [Option]
in the USB connection settings, then
connect the USB cable to the recorder.
Select [AC adapter] at the [USB Connect]
display to start charging (☞ P.76).
