• After the batteries have been used for a while, the ВАТТ lamp(s) may flash with the playback sound when you turn up the volume; however, this does not mean that you need to replace the batteries.

• The unit will play back normally for a while even after the REC/BATT lamp dims. However, replace the batteries as soon as you can. If you do not, a loud noise may be emitted by the built-in speaker or subsequent recording will not be done correctly.
