Using batteries
Batteries that can be used
Use six AA nickel-metal hydride batteries or alkaline
batteries. Zinc-carbon batteries cannot be used.
Note: Batteries are not included. You’ll need to obtain them
separately.
Do not mix new and old batteries, or batteries of
differing types. Mixing batteries in this way may
cause them to leak or burst.
Continuous operating time
Alkaline batteries will allow approximately four hours of
usage with the factory settings. Battery life will depend on
the type of batteries and the conditions of use.
Replacing the batteries
An indicator on the upper right side of the screen shows the
remaining battery capacity ( , , ). If you’re
using the AC adapter, this will indicate .
If is flashing, the batteries are almost
exhausted. Immediately save any important data, and
either install fresh batteries or switch to using the AC
adapter.
If the batteries are exhausted, remove them
immediately. Leaving exhausted batteries installed may
cause malfunctions such as battery leakage. You should
also remove the batteries if you won’t be using the unit
for an extended period of time.
Note: If the batteries run low, you can plug in the AC
adapter and continue operation without having to power-off.
Note: If you turn on the power with an SD card already
inserted, there will be some cases in which the data from the
SD card is read as a background process after the unit has
started. While the data is being read, some functions will be
in a paused state, and will be unavailable. During this time,
the SD card access indicator ( ) blinks in a position that
overlaps with the remaining battery capacity indicator or the
AC adapter indicator. For details, refer to "Automatic SD
card loading at start-up" (→ p.25).
