≥Rechargeable batteries have a service life of approxi-

mately 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 be-

come warm while recharging is in progress. This is not
a malfunction.

≥Leaving the AC adaptor connected can cause the bat-

teries to go flat. After recharging the batteries and dis­connecting the AC adaptor from the AC power outlet,
ensure you disconnect the AC adaptor from the unit’s
[DC IN 4.5 V

≥The length of time the unit will continue to operate be-

tween when the battery indicator starts flashing and
when the power is cut off differs depending on the
type of batteries used.
