Cauti ons conce rning th e rechar geable b atteri es
Read the following descriptions carefully when you use the Ni-MH rechargeable batteries.
Discharging:
The rechargeable batteries self-discharge while this is not in use. Be sure to charge them regularly before use.
Operating temperature:
The rechargeable batteries are chemical products. The rechargeable batteries efficiency may fluc tuate even when operating within the recommended temperature range. This is an inherent nature of such products.
Recommended temperature range:
When operating appliance:
0°C - 42°C / 32° F - 107.6°F
Charging:
5°C - 35°C/ 41°F - 95°F
Storage f or a long period:
–20°C - 30°C/ –4°F - 86°F Using the rechargeable batteries outside the above temperature range may result in declining efficiency and shorter batter y life. In order to prevent battery leak age or rust, remove the rechargeable batteries from the products when you will not be using them for a long time, and store them separately.

About the FM radio
(For WS-710M only)
Using the FM radio
For WS-710M:
Radio reception will vary substantially depending on where you are using the radio. If the reception is poor, adjust the antenna position or orientation, or place the recorder in a location where a radio signal can be easily received, such as by a window.
The rec order may not b e able to rece ive the FM signa l within or c lose to buil dings
Move to a location where the signal can be easily received. Inside a building, broadcast signals will be more easily received near windows.
Notes
Even within the broadcast region, radio signals may be di cult to receive in tunnels or
underground roads, inside or in the shadow of buildings and apartment block s covered with a concrete structures, and other similar locations. You may not be able to get radio reception in these locations.
For best reception, avoid using the radio at the same time as a cellular phone, PC,
television or other electrical product. Such products may cause noise.
If you use the radio while connected to the AC adapter (A514 etc.), noise may be
generated. When using the FM radio, be sure to use the bat tery.
Connecting the earphones
The supplied earphones function as an FM antenna. You will not be able to receive FM radio signals if the earphones are not connected.
