This is not a malfunction.

Cautions
Batteries
� Before replacing batteries, always turn off the unit. Rechargeable nickel metal hydride battery (BN-R127): � Use only the rechargeable battery (BN-R127) supplied with the unit. � If the power delivered by the battery lasts for a very short time after recharging, it means that the battery�s service life is over. Do not use it any more. � Recharging already charged battery will shorten its service life. � When recharging battery for the first time or when it has not been used for a long period of time, the play time may be shorter than usual. In a case like this, repeatedly recharge and discharge the battery. This will restore it to its regular state. � Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals of rechargeable battery since this may cause short-circuiting which is dangerous. � Recharging shall be made at the temperature from 10°C to 35°C. Dry cell battery and rechargeable battery: To prevent damage to the batteries and electrolyte leakage, heed the following points. � Align the » and � polarities properly when inserting the batteries. � Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a long period of time. � Do not throw batteries into a fire, and do not short-circuit, disassemble or subject them to excessive heat. � Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries. Carrying batteries: When putting dry cell or rechargeable batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure that no other metal objects such as a necklace are placed together with them. Contact with metal may cause shortcircuiting which, in turn, may cause a fire. Be absolutely sure to carry the rechargeable battery in the battery carrying case.
