•Always turn the [POWER] switch OFF before inserting/removing batteries or making connections.
•Paying close attention to match the insertion direction with the arrows, insert two NB-8 rechargeable battery packs (supplied in the BP-A7 kit) into the AID converter/battery pack unit supplied in the BP-A7 kit.
•Recharging period:
When the batteries run down, "Lo" appears in the display area to indicate that operation will
soon stop. Recharge the batteries at this time for continued operation.
•For maximum battery life:
One characteristic of Ni-Cd batteries is that their battery life becomes shorter if they are repeatedly recharged before being completely used up. If this occurs, battery life can be returned to normal by repeatedly letting the batteries completely run down before recharging.
