or the unit may malfunction.)
● Places exposed to water.
● Places exposed to excessive dust.
● Places where temperatures are exces-
sively high or low.
● Places (bathrooms) where the humidity
is extremely high.
● Places with strong magnetic fields such
as TVs or loudspeakers.
● Places exposed to vibration.
● Places where sand can easily enter the
inside of the unit (beaches etc.).
● If the unit is used near radio tuners or

■ About the rechargeable battery
● A rechargeable nickel-metal hydride
battery is the only kind that can be used.
Even if the battery is not used, you
should charge it at least once every
three months because of the special
quality of this battery.
● The rechargeable battery can be
charged approximately 300 times.
● Do not use any battery other than that
specified. Use of other batteries may
cause malfunctions.
● When the operating time is reduced to
about half the normal amount of time,
even after a full charge is performed,
replace the battery with a new one.
● When charging or when using the re
chargeable battery, use it within an ambient temperature range of 5°C - 35°C
(41°F - 95°F).
● If the rechargeable battery is used in a
cold environment, the operating time will
be reduced.
● Do not disassemble the battery.
Since the rechargeable battery is
vulnerable to damage, please note
the following.
● Do not carry the battery in your pocket
or a bag together with metal objects
(keys, coins, jewelry, etc.). The battery
may short out and generate significant
amounts of heat.
● Do not stand or store the battery on a
metal plate.
This may cause the battery to short-circuit,
and it is dangerous.
● Do not short-circuit the terminals as they
will become very hot and will damage
the battery.
●
Do not dip the battery in water , do not dispose of it in a fire, and do not take it apart.
● When you want to carry the rechargeable battery, put it into the accessory
case included with the separately available AD-T20BT .
To avoid damaging the battery and
shortening its service life, please note
the following.
● Do not drop or subject the battery to
shock.
● Do not insert objects (metal etc.) into the
battery compartment of this product or
into the rechargeable battery. Do not get
the terminals dirty. If the rechargeable
terminals are dirty, the operating time
may be shortened or it may not be possible to charge the battery.
● After the rechargeable battery is charged
or used, it will get slightly warm. This is
normal.

Notes:
● When making important recordings, it is
recommended that you use the AC
adaptor. A fully charged rechargeable
battery or alkaline batteries should be
loaded into the unit. Then, even if a
power failure occurs, the power source
will switch over to the battery automatically.
● When using the rechargeable battery or
the alkaline batteries, if the volume level
is set to “0”, the battery consumption will
be less than when listening to the recording whilst it is being made.
● Insert each plug firmly. If the connections
are poor, the recording may not be made
properly. Always keep the plugs clean.
If the plugs are dirty, electrical noise may
be recorded.
■ Types of discs
There are two types of discs: playback-only
and recordable discs.
● Playback-only MiniDisc:
This type of MiniDisc usually contains
commercially available pre-recorded
music. This is the same kind of optical
disc as CDs. Playback is performed using an optical pickup.
(Recording and editing are not possible.)
● Recordable MiniDisc:
This is a “raw disc” on which recording
can be performed.
This is a magneto-optical disc.
Recordings are made using a laser and
a modulated magnetic field. Repeated
recording is possible.
Shutters can be
seen on both
sides of this
type of disc.
■ To prevent recorded discs from
being erased accidentally
Slide the accidental erase prevention tab,
located on the side of the disc, in the direction indicated by the arrow.
● The disc will then be protected against
accidental erasure.
Protected against
accidental erasure
There will only
be a shutter on
one side (the back).
