Battery case Rechargeable Ni - MH battery : � Use only the rechargeable battery BN-R1210 (supplied) or BN-R127 (not supplied) with this minidisc player. � 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 an already charged battery will shorten its service life. � When recharging a 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 the rechargeable battery because this may cause dangerous short-circuiting. � Recharge the battery at a temperature of 10°C to 35°C. � Do not charge for more than 15 hours. Overcharging will shorten battery life. � Charge at least once every 6 months when not using for long periods of time, to avoid a drop in battery recharging performance Dry cell battery and rechargeable battery: To prevent damage to the batteries, and to avoid electrolyte leakage, heed the following instructions. � Align the ª and · polarities properly when inserting the batteries. AC adaptor � Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the minidisc player for a long period of time. � Do not expose the batteries to open flame, and do not short-circuit, disassemble, or subject them to excessive heat. � Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.
