3 When recharging is complete, unplug the AC adaptor from the household mains socket and the DC IN jack.

≥Never mix dry cell and rechargeable batteries. ≥Turn the unit off before replacing the recharge-

able batteries.

Note1

≥Rechargeable batteries have a service life of approximately 300 charge-discharge cycles. The batteries have reached the end of their operational life if they last for a noticeably shorter time after recharging, or if they cannot be recharged at all. Replace the batteries.

≥Recharging may only be performed when the unit is powered off.

≥The AC adaptor and rechargeable batteries may become warm while recharging is in progress. This is not a malfunction.

≥Leaving the AC adaptor connected can cause the batteries to go flat. After recharging the batteries and disconnecting the AC adaptor from the household mains socket, ensure you disconnect the adaptor from the unit’s [DC IN 4.5V K] terminal.
